The house is situated near the charming little village of Montanare in southern Tuscany. This romantic and tranquil family home is the ideal base to explore the historic hill towns of Tuscany and Umbria. Other attractions include the Palio in Siena and the Giostra del Saraceno (jousting) in Arezzo. Perugia, Assisi, Siena, Montepulciano, Piensa, Citta di Castello amongst others are all within easy access. There is sailing on Lake Trasimeno, twenty minutes away.
Casa Il Campo is a five minute walk from the village of Montanare, which has a bar/convenience store, a post office and a lovely Tuscan Trattoria (Il Molino). The village of Pergo, five minutes by car has a good Pizzaria, a well-stoked supermarket (Mario, the owner, is a first rate butcher) and a nice Cafe. For bigger shops we recommend the Co-op in Camuccia.
The Cortona area
The nearest town to Casa Il Campo is the Etruscan hill town of Cortona. Besides beautiful churches and the Celle (the retreat) of San Francis of Assissi, Cortona's Museo Diocesano and Museo Etrusco are world renowned. Cortona hosts the Tuscan Sun Festival (classical music - first two weeks in August). The Cortona Antiques' Fair is one of the most important in Italy (September).
The historic centre of Cortona has been pedestrianized. Along the Via Nazionale you will find a number of lovely stores, ranging from the local pottery maker, two antiques' dealers, a butcher, a greengrocer to Barchelli's, a lovely cafe. Do not miss the central square and adjoining Piazza Signorelli.
Cortona is known throughout Italy for its food, particularly its beef. For a small town it has a remarkable number of excellent restaurants ranging from simple pizzaria (la Grotta, la Logetta) to very elegant (Tonino's, Osteria del Teatro).

We had a great week at Casa II Campo in March. Would love to come back in September sometime so we could enjoy the lovely grounds and pool. This was a good base for exploring Cortona, Pienza, Montepulciano, Perugia and much more. The train station was about 15 minutes away and it was easy to catch the hour and a half train to Florence. We ate at some wonderful restaurants in the area, several in Cortona, and were lucky to walk in on a Womans Day celebration at the restaurant right there in Montanare. We have stayed at many homes in Europe and around the world and would highly recommend this home for anyone looking to explore the Tuscany area. Thank You Sylvie for all your help in arranging our stay. Scott and Marjorie |

Casa Il Campo is absolute heaven. We spent two wonderful weeks here and just didn't want to leave. Swimming, reading, cooking, wandering around the orchard, picking ripe figs off the tree and generally relaxing. Sylvie has definitely thought of everything. The house was beautiful and clean, beds really comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed for mouthwatering cook ups! I did a lot of research (that's actually an understatement) before I decided on Sylvie's home and I have to say was definitely not let down. Sylvie and everyone we dealt with at Casa Il Campo was delightful. We'd love to come back. |

I almost don't want to give to glowing a review as I am worried the house will be inundated with people and we want to go back. It was a perfect week. The house is absolutely beautiful, simple, stylish, full of all the little details that only the most consummate hostess would think of from tea lights to a bottle of home-made olive oil waiting for us... Gorgeous garden full of olive trees, vines, roses and lavender surrounded by rolling forest covered hills. A friendly helpful team of housekeeper Gabriella, pool-lady Franka and two delightful cleaning ladies. We had barbecues most nights, sitting on the beautiful terrace under an archway of jasmine. If you like delicious food, beautiful countryside and a perfect house go (but not too often!) We never wanted to leave... |
