Reviews

• Alana from New Zealand (10/10)

  I'd been looking forward to staying at Villa Augusto for a long time and it did not disappoint! Augusto was a wonderful host who informed us of the history of the property and showed us through the property at check-in. An authentic Tuscan stay, I hope one day we get to return.

• Sally from Australia (10/10)

  Thé property is set in beautiful surroundings. The Villa was beautifully clean and our host thoroughly knowledgeable and a great host!

• Iza from Georgia (10/10)

  Breathtaking villa and atmosphere — perfect for a few-day getaway, getting lost, and exploring an all-Italian experience. We felt like we were in a movie, walking around the villas built a few centuries ago.
  
  Augusto was an incredible host, helping us with everything. We had a problem reaching the villa from the train station. Augusto provided us with a ride from the station, helped us to hire a car in Cortona, and explained everything about the town, including sending detailed information about what to eat, see and explore in Cortona, and Toscana in general. Definitely going back!

• Beth from United Kingdom (8/10)

  Good location near Cortona. Hot water in the shower and supermarket nearby. Grounds and outside space very nice, although we didn't use them as weather wet when we were there.

• Veso from Bulgaria (10/10)

  The best thing about villa Augusto truly is Augusto. He is a true local with extensive knowledge about the majority of cities, museums, restaurants, coffee shops, wineries and everything Tuscanny, and shares his knowledge in a perfect way to enhance your trip in the region of Val d'Orcia and beyond. The villa itself is stunning inside, with its authentic furniture and design. The fact that its family owned by Augusto's family for many generations makes it a very personal experience.

• David from Australia (8/10)

  Lovely large apartment in an historic villa with beautiful gardens and stunning pool. It’s walking distance to a mini mart and about 40 minutes walk uphill to Cortona. Also an easy drive to Arezzo, Montepulciano and lake Trasimeno. Augusto was a very attentive and knowledgeable host.
