We spent 2 weeks at this charming cottage in June 2024. Both Livia (host) and Patrizia (housekeeper) are absolutely lovely people and the cottage is, clean, tidy, airy and comfortable. There was plenty of room for 2 people in the cottage but the real selling point is the fabulous grounds and garden that is entirely at your private disposal for the duration of the stay. If you can drag yourself away from the gazebo/hammock/leafy arbors/grapevine-covered trellis/plunge pool, it's a 5 minute walk into the delightful square with restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops and some fabulous gelato. I wouldn't hesitate to return, Loved every minute!

Livia’s Cetona cottage was one of the true highlights of our trip. First, the location is ideal. The cottage and its terraced gardens provide the peaceful setting and views of the Tuscan countryside, with easy access to many fine walks; at the same time, it is a quick walk into Cetona, one of the loveliest Tuscan villages we visited—as it is a real community not centered on the tourist trade. Second, the cottage itself is wonderful. It has a comfortable sitting room, a separate room with a table that serves well as a desk, indoor breakfast room, a comfortable bed in a cozy upstairs bedroom, and outdoor gazebo and sheltered dining table—thus providing lots of spaces to read, write, nap, eat, etc. The kitchen was easily the best stocked of all the homes we rented during our travels. Plenty of pots & pans, serving bowls & platters, and (especially appreciated) a well-stocked spice rack. Finally, Livia is a true host who made us feel welcome in a home she obviously cares for and loves. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine and other thoughtful amenities—a variety of teas, coffee, milk and juice in the fridge. She also arranged for the cottage to be tidied up while we were still there. And mostly, we enjoyed meeting Livia, hearing a bit about the history of Cetona, talking books and discovering areas of mutual interest. The best part of traveling—making genuine connections with the people met along the way.

Wunderschön in der Natur gelegen und doch nur 5 Gehminuten zur wunderbaren Piazza von Cetona. Außerdem liebevoll und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Marisa und Patrizia sind aus der Nachbarschaft sofort zur Stelle und super hilfsbereit bei Fragen. So schön war s in La Torreta!
