Absolutely delightful Italian adventure! Casa Bel
Posto was just as described, complete with
mountain views of Cortona, lovely Farmhouse with
two adorable dogs, and two adorable owners.
Tania and Keith were helpful before we arrived with
advice on the weather, etc. and perfect hosts while
we were there. Great location for day trips to all
the Tuscan and Umbrian Hill Towns. We stayed 11
nights, and when I mentioned that it was time to
leave, Keith asked what that meant... 11 nights was
just long enough, and I would have regretted
leaving any sooner! Next time we will have to stay
longer!! I miss it already! Our trip ended with
several days in Florence, and as lovely as that was,
I'd take the pace and flavor of the countryside!!

| We recently spent a week at beautiful Casa bel Posta and I am delighted to highly recommend this vacation rental property. The knowledgeable and experienced owners were a great resource for recommendations on top restaurants, wineries, and site seeing. The spacious king sized master bedroom has an in-suite bath and the bedding was oh so comfortable. The other bedrooms were spacious and comfortable as well. It is evident that the owners take pride in keeping the property in immaculate condition. The entire property is exquisitely decorated in warm Tuscan style. The sunny kitchen is complete with dishes, utensils, pots and pans. They even provided an honor bar stocked with fine local wines at bargain prices. I would like to keep their property a secret as I fear that I will never get to book here again once others find out what a wonderful, relaxing and incredible value this property affords. Most of all the owners, Tania and Keith are warm, friendly and helpful. I will never forget my vacation of a lifetime at Casa bel Posta! |

We recently stayed at Casa Bel Posto a second time. Yes, once you stay here, you want to return!
Our favorite things about CBP:
- The casa: it's roomy, nicely appointed and the beds are comfy. Plus, having a pool came in handy during the hot weather we had when we were there.
- The friendly and informative hosts: Tania and Keith are a great source of information on the area. The dogs are a blast to play with as well.
- The great location: the casa is just down the hill from Cortona -- you get the quiet countryside to enjoy plus you're only a 3 minute drive up the hill to enjoy all that Cortona has to offer.
- The tours: I'm a photographer and Tania took me on a customized tour through scenic areas via backroads. She knew just what I wanted to photograph! The places where we ate and tasted wine were marvelous too! I got addicted to Pici with Cinghiale Sauce.
All in all, both experiences were amazing. Will we be back? Oh yes, of course!

| Even before we traveled to Italy, the owners were in constant contact with us, giving appropriate information to make our upcoming stay more enjoyable. We had no problems finding the house because of Tania's explicit directions. Our family of four enjoyed the spacious accommodations and had plenty of room to spread out. The owners make every effort to ensure you are comfortable and will provide as much, or as little direction, as you want in visiting Cortona and the numerous other sites of interest. The apartment was exactly as described on their website. What wonderful memories we took away with us. Hope to visit again. |

| We stayed at Casa Bel Posto in May 2009. The house and area were terrific. There were a total of 4 people (2 couples) and we had plenty of room in the house. Tania and Keith were very gracious hosts and were very helpful with giving advice about the local area. We would definitely stay here again. |

Guest Comment Entered By Homeowner:
Casa Bel Posto is just that -- a house in a beautiful place! It seems removed from everything in its tranquility and yet so close to downtown Cortona and all its attractions. If you have a car and a sense of adventure, you can't go wrong -- the owners have explored every ounce of the historic relics and stores and restaurants and wineries nearby and can point you in the right direction with confidence. I'm looking forward to my next visit back in June, hopefully to spend long hours lounging in the gorgeous pool staring at the hilltop of Cortona!

What an UNBELIEVABLY Positive experience at this
beautiful estate. Tania and Keith were the most
gracious and loving of hosts.
I stayed at this beautiful property for 5 weeks in
November/December 2008 enjoying the beautiful
views Cortona, biking the vineyards and olive
groves in my backyard, noshing on the outstanding
fruits of the neighbors and watching the season
colors change before my very eyes.
I was in Italy to work on a book I needed to finish
and Tania and Keith gave me great peace to do so,
offering me distracting adventures in between.
They introduced me to the olive oils of their
neighbors and the fiestas of fall.
This was such a productive yet laid back work
vacation thanks to the fantastic wireless
connection, lack of TV and bicycling to break up
the day.
I would highly recommend this peaceful yet
centrally located Tuscan home for anyone who
wants to play or write, explore or dream, eat or
drink, or just to be. Please feel free to call or email
me with your questions, I am happy to help.
Thank you sooooooo much Tania and Keith for a
life changing experience and I can’t wait to see you
again sooner rather than later!
