We were welcomed into their home as honored guests. The house was beautiful; the rooms (with private baths) very comfortable. The setting was private and expansive, easy to find and still close enough to Cortona to make it convenient for dinner out, etc. . A great spot for an extended stay when exploring Tuscany. Plan on dinner in at least... more

We spent a full week at Casa Bellavista at the end of a whirlwind Mediterranean cruise. It was wonderful to have some down time to relax and see just a small area. We planned our outings with Simonetta in the morning and with the help of a Garmin wandered off. Truly a wonderful place to sit back and enjoy the... more

This trip was our honeymoon. We wanted a place that would give us the true senses of Tuscany and the areas around it. Casa Bellavista was perfect!!! Simonetta and Guido run a very clean and respectable place and their hospitality is very warm and friendly. The rooms and accommodations were very nice. Internet access was available. Casa Bellevista is perfect... more

Had a five night stay at this great b&b. Simonetta and Guido are fantastic hosts. Excellent breakfast and can also arrange dinner for a fee but what a feast. The views are fantastic, rooms of a good size and the largest bathroom in Italy - even a bath. Close to Cortona and Montepuluciano which were wonderful. more

My wife and I stayed at the Bellavista for 4 nights in September. We had a wonderful time. The location has beautiful Tuscan views of hill towns, sunflower fields and Cortona. Simonetta makes you feel very welcome and gives you free run of the house except the kitchen. Highlight of our visit was the day we arrived when Simonetta cooked... more

This is a beautiful place to stay. Tastefully furnished by the talented lady who runs it. We only booked this for an overnight stay, wished we could have stayed longer. I would truly reccommend staying here if you enjoy good food and wonderful surroundings in a tranquil location. more

This was our second visit to Casa Bellavista in Tuscany. My wife and I stayed for a number of days in the summer of 2007 and could not wait to come back. This July, we brought our best friends with us. The stay was even better. The views from Casa Bellavista, of the surrounding hilltowns and estates, are magnificant. Both... more

We have stayed at Casa Bellavista for 2 weeks - long enough to get to know the hosts (Simonetta and Guido), the dogs, the place and the area. We wanted to find a place in central Tuscany so we would be able to drive to many places like Siena, Montepulciano, Montalcino - but also other places like Elba, Monte Cucco,... more

This was our first stop on our honeymoon and after the wedding we were both so tired , all we needed was a relaxing retreat and this is what we got. We stayed here for four nights and Simonetta made us very welcome and provided 5 star service throughout our stay. Her breakfasts are fantastic as are the views you... more
