Portico del Tasso
Holiday home with swimming pool in Foiano della Chiana
Description
This cozy and charming apartment is located, along with three others, in a large estate with two completely restored houses. The apartment is air-conditioned, tastefully decorated and finished with distinctive details. The estate, of about 40 hectares, houses a lake, surrounded by woods, large enough for fishing, and an example of architecture of the Roman period. Together with the occupants of the other apartments, you will have access to a large swimming pool with children’s pool area, outdoor shower, playground, small playground and a patio with seating. The outdoor garden adjacent to the pool is divided into private areas each with its own sunbeds and umbrellas.
The apartment is located just 3 kilometers from the village of Foiano della Chiana, where you can do your daily shopping, have a good meal and find the train station. Cortona, about 20 kilometers away, is really worth a visit. This city is situated on top of a hill and is one of the oldest cities in Italy - it is truly amazing. For shopaholics, there are outlet shops in Foiano della Chiana, 9 kilometers from the house.
Lake Trasimeno is 25 km away and is worth a visit. In addition, cities like Arezzo (30 km), Siena (50 km) and Perugia (65 km) are highly recommended for a fun day out.

We have already booked with Belvilla a few times and have always been satisfied, they are always ready if there are problems,
On our arrival we were received very warmly and kindly by the owners. The owners don't speak English very well, but there is a girl working who is fluent in English and is there at certain times. I can only say that this warm welcome lasted a whole holiday, they were always ready to help if possible, to pamper you with goodies twice a week. The cottage was immaculate on arrival and now in the Corona time they had divided the garden by the pool into pieces so that everyone had their own piece of garden with disinfected lounge chairs for sunbathing. From the cottage you had a beautiful view to enjoy, the roof at the cottage gave you enough shade to eat outside at any time of the day. It was an ideal base to visit various beautiful cities and villages (even Rome was doable). We have had a wonderful, pleasant holiday. I had the feeling of coming home to family, I would say do not be put off by some less good reviews, that was really not too bothered what they have been raving about.
The accommodation was well maintained and surrounded by beautiful gardens with olive trees, herbs and flowers. The house was furnished in Tuscan style and equipped with all necessary. Even though the bathroom and kitchen were very small, it did not bother us, since we sat most of the time at the great pool and in the evening on the large covered terrace with stunning views. But all this was topped by the incredible hospitality of the landlord family! Two times a week was baked for us (very delicious pizza and pastries), we got vegetables from our own cultivation and self-made wine to welcome. For our little son was not only their own garden to play, but also the children's pool and all the animals on the farm a highlight. Nearby are Arezzo and Lucignano as particularly beautiful destinations, as well as Siena, recommended. The entire area is located a few kilometers outside the village of Foiano della Chiana and is very quiet. It was a wonderfully relaxing holiday for us and we will definitely be back! Thanks again to the family.
The arrival was well looked after. An English-speaking lady takes care of this for the owner. The accommodation itself is not very small, but because of the moderate comfort this feels so. You can not sit in the sun in the sun, there are no nice chairs. Directly next to the garden is the bushpit which regularly gives rise to stenching. PLUS PUNTS reception in English, very nice owners, 2x homemade cake of the house, many nice villages at short distance - centrally located if you want to see much of the area MINIMUM low comfort kitchen no dishwasher, no worktop to prepare food, extremely tight Kitchen block, outside the refrigerator, no place for storing or dropping of food, no (art) light as the sink is too tight to wash with 2 men or whatever in the kitchen. We made it while preparing breakfast and having a snack. In comfort no proper closet space, In both bedrooms a total of 6! Hangunits, but only 8 clothes hangers ..... Lockers limited and drawers did not run. No comfy chairs, only the dining chairs inside were good. For the rest, only small metal chairs outside and 2 camping / folding / rocking chairs, more suitable for children. No air conditioning (we knew of course) but also no fan. Swimming pool The sun loungers by the pool look fantastic but are not really nice either. Very much chlorine in the water. Information folder addresses of supermarkets did not match all 4, this resulted in a search of over 2 hours and a quarter of a tank of wasted gasoline. Recommended pizzeria had beautiful views but was far from good and also expensive. Businesses that could be prevented and cleaned properly Upon arrival, the toilet-operated barrier barely worked, the shower tray did not drain and clamped the bathroom door. This was fixed by the owner within 24 hours. The power fell out halfway through the holiday, which was rectified immediately
We had a super holiday (family with two children aged 8 and 9 years). Nice and clean apartment, beautiful pool, lots of peace and quiet and friendly owners.
The cottage is beautifully situated and from the private terrace you have a beautiful view. The pool and surrounding gardens are well maintained and perfectly maintained. Very hospitable owners our weekly spoiled with homemade pizza and cake. Also very well located (near the highway) to visit cities. Short on top and a must!
