Our Villa was absolutely gorgeous! The view was incredible and the photos really don't do it justice! The attention to detail in the restoration was beautiful and everything was of a high quality from the fixtures and fittings to the furniture and appliances. A lot of thought has gone into making Casale Il Melograno a real home away from home. Our children particularly loved exploring the garden terraces with all the beautiful fruit trees and herbs. The scent of rosemary, lavender and roses filled the air. The pool was a great size too and we all enjoyed playing boules on the front lawn. The beds were comfortable and the area so quiet all we could hear at night was the occasional animal call. It was such a special peaceful place and I'd highly recommend it for a family.

We were warmly greeted on our arrival by Mirko who showed us around our beautiful villa. His English was very good and he and his wife Betty then cooked us a delicious meal with enough leftovers for the following day. Mirko was very prompt and helpful in responding to our enquiries for restaurant recommendations and information in general. We would have appreciated from Tuscany Now and More prior to our arrival some background information about Cortona and the surrounding region with suggested day trips to help us plan our stay. A restaurant guide would also have been useful.

Service was excellent. Very responsive online and in Italy, the couple, Mirko and Elisabetta, were always available to answer questions and help out. Valentina, the housekeeper, came twice a week and kept everything clean and tidy. The service was flawless.

Tuscany Now has been our agency of choice for three different stays in Italy. Each and every time they have been very consistent in delivering what you see on their website. We have had zero negative experiences. I have been impressed with their professional approach.

This villa is an example of a wonderful restoration. Very high quality products and excellent finishes. Modern and airy on the inside with a traditionally beautiful exterior. The kitchen is pro quality and gorgeous. The bedrooms are far enough apart to ensure adequate privacy for multiple couples. The landscape and view are hard to leave even though the nearby village of Cortona beckons.

We have had a wonderful 2 weeks at your beautiful house + exploring the area. So much to see and do in this part of Tuscany + even though we have been here so long we could not fit in everything we wanted to see and do! Some highlights would be Pienza (see the house in which the Gladiator was filmed at!) D'Orcia area - very beautiful, Montalcino, Montepulciano. Great wine tasting at Avignonesi with delicious food. The quality of the villa is outstanding, real attention to detail and very comfortable. Many thanks to Mirko and Betty.

What a truly wonderful place. A magical setting with beautiful views and an immaculately villa with everything we possibly need. The pool was refreshing and the garden a place filled with butterflies and lovely flowers. Thank you also to Betty and Mirco who have been here for all our need and delicious dinners on the terrace. Thank you

Magnificent Villa with a glorious view of Cortona and beyond. Beautifully appointed with superb gardens. We loved the finishes in the property both inside and outside the house. The garden and surrounds were immaculate with a beautiful pool. As three couples it was perfect to enable us to come together or spend time separately. Our first night in we arranged a cook and the meal was tremendous, and very tasty. The cook and his helper who happened to be the caretakers were very friendly and helpful with a great sense of humour. They assisted us through the week with some recommendations and were prompt in all responses about any issues. A memory to cherish

Tuscany is enhanced by Betty and Mirko whom tenderly cure for Casale il Melograno and its guests. The scenery form il Casale is amazing! The open kitchen and lawn are so beautifully done, the swimming pool is lovely for relaxing in the afternoon, We have taken so many pictures of the children here. The landscape is superb! Mirko and Betty make it special and he is a wonderful chef!

Casale il Melograno is a beautiful place. We've had a fantastic time here in the wonderful surroundings of Cortona. The Tuscan view from the villa is amazing and sitting on the terrazza in the evening is truly relaxing. The garden and pool area is great, our 12 year old has a lot of fun here. Betty and Mirko's warm welcome was greatly appreciated; one of our favorite evening was having Mirko cook for us a traditional Tuscan meal. It was superb and the care and good company of Mirko and Betty made the evening something to remember. Grazie mille per tutto Betti e Mirko, una vacanza fantastica a Casale Meograno, i vostri amici Islandesi

We have had the most wonderful holiday here in your beautiful home. We have very much appreciated the thought and care you have obviously taken when renovating. Lovely comfortable beds and linen, fantastic bathrooms and kitchen with everything you need. As for the garden! It is very special with clever planning and as for the views - truly spectacular! We will take very fond memories home with us. Grazie mille per tutto, arrivederci.

Beautiful. Peaceful. Inspiring, Sanctuary. My wife and I are honored to write the first review in this book. We have taken a thousand pictures; we are inspired by the thoughtfulness of the owners in this beautiful house. We are very appreciative of the finishes, furniture, hardware, doors, windows, floor and especially the rugs! Then there is the garden! such a well laid out and executed landscape. It has been a wonderful experiencing it in spring! So many great places to sit and enjoy the scenery. Thank you for sharing it with us!
