5 Bedroom Villa in Cortona

Vacation in a Renaissance Painting at Il Rifugio...
where you will enjoy privacy, serenity, and spectacular views. Unwind in this 17th-century farmhouse on 64 acres of gardens, fields, woodlands, and centuries-old terraced olive groves.
Il Rifugio is comprised of a stone farmhouse and 64 acres of private land. The house is situated on the edge of an ancient olive grove located above the village of Montanare in the community of Cortona in Tuscany, Italy. Cortona is just 10 minutes away by car. The house can accommodate 10 people in 5 bedrooms.
There are two charming buildings: one is the main house, which has ten rooms plus 4-1/2 bathrooms, and the other is a small cottage, a few steps from the kitchen, with a laundry room and a bedroom with a bathroom.
Upstairs in the main house are four bedrooms: a master bedroom with a double bed, en suite bathroom, and a second bedroom with a double bed and en suite bathroom; two other bedrooms with en suite bathrooms each with single beds that can be made up as doubles; and a common sitting room with a fireplace.
Downstairs is a large kitchen with a fireplace, a separate walk-in pantry, a dishwasher, a five-burner stove with two ovens, a refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, American coffee machine, enough pots and pans for cooking gourmet meals, and an outdoor pizza oven. Also downstairs is a half bath, sitting room, formal dining room, and a living room with a large fireplace fitted with a cast-iron wood-burning stove.
The cottage has a laundry room with a washer, dryer, and deep sink, and a bedroom with two single beds and an en suite bathroom. Il Rifugio can comfortably accommodate up to ten people, with ample space for privacy. There is plenty of garden furniture and a pergola on the spacious stone terrace for eating or relaxing outdoors, with spectacular views of the surrounding olive grove and the rural valley below.
Utilities are included in the rental price. Of course, the house is completely cleaned and supplied with fresh towels, soap, bed linens, and basic supplies before you arrive and every week. Additional maid service during the week can be arranged at a minimal cost depending on the number of guests. Additional services, such as private city and winery tours, Tuscan garden tours, private in-house dinners, cooking classes, wine or olive oil tasting, etc can be prearranged at the time of booking.

Summary: Il Rifugio is located just outside of Cortona (less than 10 minutes). The owners, Chuck and his wife, Shirley, have taken care to make Il Rifugio a home away from home - wherever you may have come. The location of the property makes it a great home-base for day trips around Tuscany - however the beauty and tranquility of the property makes it easy to just “stay at home”, relax and unwind with friends and family. The large kitchen is equipped with anything you need - and the herb garden makes for amazing touches to any meal. Each of the five bedrooms has it’s own bath with toilet, sink and shower (the master also having a large tub). Most of the rooms can be set up with either a queen or two singles - making it perfect for our group of ten adults. There are multiple large seating areas around the house, both inside and out, allowing you to make any meal special. WiFi is strong throughout the house - including around the pool - making it easy to stay connected to work...or post those amazing sunset pictures to whatever social platform you like to share. A fully functional washer and dryer (and clothesline) make it easy to pack light for a week in paradise. There is no shortage of amazing views - the 65 acre property includes hundreds of olive trees and grape vines, and, located high on a hill, a breathtaking view of the valley as the sun falls. (You can also purchase wine and olive oil - made from the fruit of Il Rifugio.) Shirley is an established chef who created some wonderful meals for our group. She also showed the patience of a saint as she led seven of us through an AMAZING Italian cooking class. Chuck was quick to respond to any requests, inquiries, etc. He provided recommendations for restaurants, day trips, etc. He also set up two local wine tastings and an olive process tour and meal. We all look forward to a return trip in the not too distant future - and will be recommending Il Rifugio to all of our friends and family looking for an amazing place to stay in Central Italy.

Summary: Excellent country location close to Cortona and other Tuscan destinations in a well manicured, aesthetically beautiful villa. We were there during their olive harvest and were able to go to the mill and witness the pressing of extra virgin Tuscan olive oil....the best in all of Tuscany. The villa is spacious with no detail overlooked. At sunset the view from the patio overlooking the valley was absolutely stunning. In our twelve trips to Italy "Il Rifugio" was by far the nicest place we have stayed. We would definitely return for another visit..

Summary: Excellent and well organized and laid out retreat. This is the place to stay if you want a view, multiple outdoor and indoor meeting, eating and relaxing spaces, swimming pool and a kitchen for home cooking or chef prepared meals. The view is incomparable and can be accessed from many different rooms and bedrooms. For small or large groups this is the place to be.

Summary: This is the spot. Would be triple money a week in US. Everything you need and all you've imagined. Don't look any where else. Rent this place. Bring family or friends and enjoy.

Summary: I finally made it to Tuscany! I have been wanting this trip for over 5 years. A villa in Tuscany with friends. Il Rifugio could not have been any more perfect of a setting, an experience or an adventure. The villa is beautifully appointed and will not disappoint. Every last detail has been thought out and provided. The kitchen had everything (and more!) than we needed. And we cooked and prepared food for 10. The living areas were graced with spectacular views out of every window. The pool was so refreshing to cool down the summer days. The terrace was perfect for our evening meals and long chats over wine. I wanted an amazing Tuscan experience, and i got one. Thank you Chuck and Shirley for the food, the cooking class and for being most gracious hosts.

Summary: Our family booked a week at Il Refugio to holiday but also use the venue as our wedding event on the Tuesday. It was magnificent. The house was exactly what we needed, luxury, space, beauty with wonderful indoor and outdoor areas to be together but also get away for a quiet read. The house is extremely well appointed with everything you could need, a magnificent kitchen and terraces with stunning views. The pool area is large and well equipped and although it was a bit cool to swim we spent a few hours lounging around in the sun on the sun beds. I would highly recommend this vacation retreat if you like to experience the Tuscan life at its very best.

Summary: We were a group of ten looking for a villa from which to explore the hilltowns of Tusany and Umbria. Starting our research we looked at quite a few that would work for us but Il Rifugio seemed to be the right fit. Although one never is certain until the arrival, we found the villa created by Chuck Ofria to be perfect for us. Approximatedly 6 kilometers from Cortona the villa sits on a hillside facing west affording magnificent sunsets. We spent almost every evening outside at one of many exterior tables drinking the best wine we ever tasted watching nature close another day. The interior provides a niche for everyone to find a good place to read, nap or find solitude if needed, while common areas provided opportunites to gather and reflect on the day or plan the next. Each bedroom has a bath providing privacy and convenience. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessary tools to put together a meal. Chuck is great to work with, providing suggestions for your stay including side trips, wine and olive oil tastings, meals at Cortona restaurants, and the best meal catered at the villa. If you are an occasional wine drinkers, Chuck will arrange a tasting in Cortona with Marco who will enlighten the most unsophisticated palate. Be sure to book a walking tour of Cortona early in your stay with Giovanni Adreani. He will educate and entertain about history and life in Cortona. If you are looking for a quiet retreat with all of the comforts of home but an opportunity to experience Tuscany this is the place. We returned home with a greater appreciation of the richness that is Tuscany. But do not come expecting the familiar. Open yourself to the welcoming arms of Tuscany. The people you meet will enrich your lives and leave you better world citizens.

Summary: This house has everything you need. We stayed for 2 weeks with 3 related families (6 adults and 4 kids under 11) and it was amazing. The house has so many wonderful touches and all the modern amenities. the kitchen is huge and has all the things needs to make great meals. The bedrooms and beds are so comfortable. The property is secluded and the views are breathtaking. We had so much fun cooking and swimming in the pool and enjoying the local town of Cortona. The owner, Chuck and his wife, were amazing hosts and helped us with anything we needed. This is a special home and place to stay and our families will never forget it so if you are looking for a place in Tuscany I doubt you can do better than Il Refugio.
