About this apartment rental

It is the old home of our family! The apartment in question is located on the ground floor of a traditional farmhouse. It consists of two double bedrooms, living room with sofas, one of which is a sofa bed, fireplace, kitchenette and two bathrooms. From the kitchen you can access the veranda where in summer you can eat in the shade and access the garden.
Free WiFi and parking.
The structure has been recently renovated preserving the original characteristic features. With stone walls with large exposed sections, terracotta ceilings with chestnut beams, Tuscan terracotta floors, ancient doors with bolts and old locks, the house has been reborn without losing its essence.

An authentic corner of Tuscany in the heart of the Valdichiana.
A tour around:
From the village of Fratticciola you can easily reach the city of Cortona with all its artistic beauties and its places of spirituality such as the wonderful hermitage of the Celle. Other art cities and medieval villages such as Arezzo, Montepulciano, Siena, Assisi and many others are also easily accessible.
In the surroundings of the village, lovers of movement will find cycle and pedestrian paths such as the Path of Reclamation which extends along the bank of the Esse torrent through the Cortona countryside.
Riding stables for horseback riding, ponds for sport fishing, cellars where you can taste wines and typical Tuscan products, tennis courts and more.

A true Tuscan experience and gorgeous home that felt perfect for our short stay. The beds were comfortable, the fireplace and amenities were great. The little village was perfect too, with a convenience store 100m away. The heating didn't work our first night, but one call to Lorella and it was fixed quickly and kept us toasty warm. There were some lovely goodies left for us on arrival by Anna-Maria and we loved the ducks at the back. A truly charming house and location. Our hosts were amazing. Highly recommend.

Our stay at Casina del Bibo was lovely. Nestled in the countryside near Cortona, this peaceful haven captures the essence of Tuscany. We were greeted warmly and made to feel like family by the hosts and provided with unexpected gifts of delicious food, wine and dessert. The home and surrounding grounds were beautifully cared for, clean and full of charm. We highly recommend this property and would return when exploring Tuscany again.

Home was well appointed. We were greeted by Nona and her grandson who speaks english with a plate full of tuscan treats, Nonas home made wine, olive oil and almond biscotti. We did not lack for anything. Everyone was helpful and friendly and quick to respond. Good directions easy to locate. Ideal fro large families as property 2 single dwelling along with 2 separate apartments in the original stone home. We will be going back with our family..
