I visited the farmhouse this July together with my wife and other couple. We had such a great time we shall ever remember, The location is the best for day trips, the distance is about half to one hour drive from the farmhouse to some major cities in Tuscany, we took the train to Florence as Uri suggested and it was nice and easy, we left the car in the parking place next to Terontola station and we arrived after 1 hour to the centre of Florence.

In the evenings we made barbecue near the swimming pool, watching Cortona. The most we liked, was the renovation of this old farmhouse, the suite we rented is number 3, on ground floor with private terrace and 2 bedrooms, Tuscan style, very authentic, luxurious standards and cozy.

We had very good information from the owners for good restaurants and day trips, we also been welcomed with a nice basket of Tuscan wine and cookies.

We shall return sometimes back, it was our nicest vacation in the last years.

After enjoyable trip by car from Basel, we arrived in Toscana. We were welcomed cordially by the owners of the luxury farmhouse in Cortona. The house itself was a stunning, renovated, original Tuscan farmhouse. You could see that a lot of acquaintance, love and capital were spent to revive this building. The suites were breathtaking. The owners were so polite to show us around the building and all the suites. Every suite had many original features such as. the ancient ceiling, walls, floors etc., but were also modern and clean, with internet access, a large screen flat television and interesting art works of good painters on the walls. The bedrooms were beautiful etc. In regard to the location, what can one say, it's Tuscany!! With beautiful views everywhere and in the vicinity of all the interesting cities, like Cortona, Siena, Florence, etc.

There were no low points in this holiday and I am definitely going to stay there again.

We have traveled the world, staying in all types of accommodations, & this has to rate as among, if not THE, best on so many levels. Having great weather of course helped, & beauty indoors & out was stunning.

The owners call the place an art gallery as well, with paintings of local scenery hanging in every room -- as gorgeous as the gardens around the house and the Tuscan landscape in all directions.

Cortona lies on the nearby mountain behind, and all of the Tuscan highlights & some beyond are within easy driving distance (i.e., Arezzo, Montepulciano, Assisi, Siena, Pienza, Monteriggioni).

Brothers Uri & Zeev are adorably helpful, & were in fact inspired to buy & fix up this converted farmhouse by the movie Under the Tuscan Sun. If you liked that movie you will be wowed by this place, the loving care behind it & the Tuscan sites, history & scenery all around. Only one caveat: get as clear directions as possible from the owners before trying to find it!

My husband, 2 teens, my daughter and her fiance all stayed at La Mucchia this past summer for 2 weeks. It was a wonderful place and we didn't want to leave! The restored farmhouse is right outside of Cortona and was a perfect base for exploring Tuscany and Umbria. The house was so comfortable and had the charm of history, but all the modern conveniences. Modern bathrooms, comfortable beds, and all the sports channels my 17 year old son could want! The absolute BEST part of staying at La Mucchia were the owner's Uri and Quiren. Anytime we had questions they were always there to help us get around and introduce us to all the wonderful places to eat in the area. They were warm and welcoming and made our stay there very special. We have told all our friends about La Mucchia and my husband is already planning on when we are going back!
