About this property
Casina in authentic Tuscany
It is the old home of our family! The apartment in question is located on the first floor of a traditional farmhouse. It consists of two double bedrooms, living room with sofa bed, fireplace, kitchenette and two bathrooms (one of these serving, without shower). To reach it there is the external staircase. Air conditioning in the bedrooms and in the living room. 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 in the surroundings

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.

This was a perfect stay. Picturesque location, close to Cortona and wineries and shops- we even walked to one of them. Best of all though was the kindness of the host who left us wine, salad, bruschette and cantucci. We would LOVE to come back one day!
The property was perfect. Lots of room, enough dishes and basic necessities. Wifi was good. Central to our adventures to Siena, Cortona, Perugia and Assisi over the duration of our visit. Thank you!
This is a charming house in a small town outside Cortona. Easily located near all the things you would want to see in the area. The host treated us like family and had homemade treats and wine waiting for our arrival. The house is perfectly suited for 4 people to stay and had a lot of charm. If you are looking to escape the hustle of daily life and relax this is the perfect location.
Wonderful place and host Anna Marie provided sone wonderfully tasty treats from her own kitchen and a recipe to take home and try. This spot is centrally located in Tuscany with easy vists to the surrounding cities of interest. Grazie, Anna Marie and Lorella!
Beautifully located in a small village just outside of Cortona, with small grocery store only steps away. Very well appointed. Host was very friendly and fluent in English. Excellent restaurants within close range by car.
We enjoyed the serene and beautiful landscape around us. We didn’t rent a car so just relaxed in our beautiful apartment and walked the trails and shopped the local grocery who had so much great produce and food. Lorella and her mother were wonderful and so kind. They had Tuscan snacks and wine on our arrival and even surprise treats. I highly recommend staying here.
Lorella and Anna Maria were wonderful! They had a small platter and bottle of wine on the table waiting for us at check in. The apartment was cozy and had everything we needed. It was close to Cortona and all that Tuscany has to offer!
Perfect combination of location, convenience, beauty and hospitality
We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed Anna Maria’s place. From Lorella’s welcome to the amazing Tuscan bread and figs. Their gifts of wine, food and most importantly, their warmth and friendliness. Fratticciola was the perfect home base for trips to Cortona, Lake Trasimeno, Montepulciano and Pienza. Everything was absolutely lovely. Grazie mille e Ciao!
The Casina was such a lovely spot away from the crowds we'd seen in Florence and Venice. It was an easy drive to Cortona and Montepulciano and other towns in Tuscany. The apartment was perfect for our family of 4 and well appointed. We were greeted with a plate of bruschetta, wine and other treats when we arrived. The kitchen was perfect for preparing breakfast or an easy dinner. Laundry and shopping were a short drive away. Would definitely stay there again.
The apartment was clean, well appointed, and has character. It was perfect for the two of us. The host and her daughter greeted us with homemade local foods that were fantastic and very much appreciated. The family works together to take care of the property and guests. The area is beautiful and within driving distance to many Tuscan towns. There is a family winery with tastings and appetizers upon request within 200m of the apartment.
We chose this apartment based on the location and the reviews and we’re not disappointed. Ideally located for exploring the region. Communication with the owners was prompt and easy. There was a freshly prepared plate of savoury goodies and a bottle of homemade wine for us to enjoy. The kitchen and bathroom are both quite small by North American standards but adequate for our needs. The entire apartment was extremely clean. Having access to an outdoor area was greatly appreciated. The hosts were very kind and helpful when needed.
My husband and I were greeted by Anna Maria’s lovely daughter who showed us around the property and made sure we were properly settled. Anna Maria had left us homemade bruschetta, wine, and biscotti - all were absolutely delicious! The views and sounds of nature from this darling apartment were everything my husband and I hoped for, and the trip to the town, Cortona, was the favourite part of our trip to Italy! We got to say goodbye to Anna Maria which was an absolute treat - very warm and friendly. We would definitely come back! Thank you!

Lovely Fratticciola
The property is in a great location, and very clean. Unfortunately, we did not see the host once during our 6 days stay. We enjoyed the garden and the drives through the countryside. The apartment is small, especially the kitchen area, although it is well-equipped. The second bathroom is outside the apartment, which we did not use. The Wi-Fi was very intermittent. Although the bedrooms were a good size, they did not have shelving for our clothes.
The house is located in Fratticcola near Cortona. The house was spacious and very clean.The kitchen had all you would need to cook. The hosts were very lovely and friendly. The hosts have limited English but we were able to communicate well with our limited Italian and phone translation app. Anna Marie was a joy to meet and she was so accommodating with wine, fruit and bread. Since we arrived late and had not eaten since morning this was a treat. I highly recommend.
We spent four wonderful nights at Anna Maria's casina. We were welcomed by her daughter upon arrival, and she gave us all pertinent information about the house and the surrounding area. I had indicated ahead of time that my daughter had a food allergy just to make sure we didn't have any problems during our stay. When we arrived, Anna Maria provided us with a wonderful bottle of Vin Santo and some homemade cookies, which she assured us she made specially for us without the allergens I had mentioned. The small apartment was immaculately clean and well-provisioned. The location is perfect: in the quiet countryside, yet within 45 minutes of many amazing Tuscan hilltop towns. If you intend to explore, it will be best to have a car. Waking to the sound of chickens, sleeping in the absolute darkness and silence, looking out from the front balcony at the rolling hillsides...a Tuscan dream. Spend some time with your espresso on the balcony early in the morning and listen to the town come alive. BE SURE to visit Cortona (15 minutes or less by car). Our hosts could not have been more gracious and helpful. Thanks to the entire family for our five wonderful days in Fratticcola!!! We hope to come again.
Just as described, beautiful authentic home and great hospitality from the hosts. Parking on site. Little market a block away and great central location to visit nearby towns. Quiet neighborhood and great views!
Our stay at Casina del Bibo was perfect and an ideal location to discover the beautiful countryside of Cortona.The house was rustic and charming and our hosts included some of their homemade wines for us too.
We had a fantastic stay at this property! The house and its surroundings are absolutely beautiful—peaceful, well-maintained, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The hosts were truly wonderful and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Their attention to detail and hospitality really made a difference.The location is also very convenient, with a grocery store just a short walk away that’s well-stocked with all the essentials. While the bathrooms are on the smaller side, it wasn’t a problem for us and everything else more than made up for it.Highly recommended—we’d love to come back!
This is a cute spot in a very nice area. Well worth staying. The shower is very small, the place is otherwise perfect.

Exactly what we were looking for
The place is clean, charming and cozy. We were met with vin santo, cookies and bruschetta. They have guide books which really helped us out and we had a fun time choosing which room to sleep in. Very relaxing stay.
