About this apartment rental
Delightful accommodation attached to my family farmhouse for generations. Located in a rural location, it is on the edge of a small country village, just a few minutes from the beautiful Cortona. The ancient medieval city is only 4/5 minutes away, an excellent food shop about 1 minute, the main communication routes and the railway station only 4/5 minutes. The ease of movement is combined with the tranquility of the Tuscan countryside. A small swimming pool of exclusive use is a few meters from the house

This property was more than I expected. Pictures do it no justice
I loved the apartment it was the perfect Tuscan home for my holiday. Although the owners live next door, it was completely private I would go days without seeing them. It was very clean, spacious, I would stroll around the property picking fresh flowers and herbs. I was surprised to find it has 2 bathrooms. I cannot say enough. I will definitely go back.

This is a great place for a couple looking to unwind in Tuscany. Cortona is five minutes drive. Centrally located to dozens of great hill towns and vineyards. The house and property and neighborhood have tons of charm and Michaele was a great host, providing bikes, and local restaurant and sightseeing advice, including placed wed never heard of. If we get back to Eastern Tuscany, well be staying again!

Tuscany From a Beautiful Ancient, Rustic home
Tuscany From a Beautiful Ancient, Rustic home
My wife and I just finished two lovely weeks at this beautiful and ancient home in the tiny village of Montalla, just outside of Cortona. We came to Tuscany to help harvest olives with friends who live here so it was off-season, the first half of October.
The owner, Michael, was extremely accommodating even before we arrived as we had to change our dates at the last minute to adjust to the unpredictable harvest times.
When we got there, he helped us settle in and responded to all our initial questions and requests. He helped us get set up for grocery shopping and an outside laundry (on a Sunday no less) and quickly fulfilled a few small requests.
The apartment itself was spacious with a beautiful, large tiled full bathroom, a king size bed with an extra bed in the bedroom and an extra 3/4 bathroom at the back. The kitchen was fully functional and well stocked and the living/dining area was very spacious. (My wife says to mention NOT to miss the soft sofa cover in the chest that she only discovered the day we left.)
We cooked many great meals on the gas stovetop and in the electric microwave/convection oven. The hot water never cooled one bit, even with back to back showers. Internet was not super fast but was 100% reliable in the living area.
Michael lives next door and was available for any questions but he never intruded.
The grounds are simply gorgeous (see his site photos, they are accurate, even showing the assigned parking place with a car in the background.
This home is 1 minute from a wonderful local grocery store and perhaps 8 minutes from the "escalator parking" for the famous thriving ancient hill town of Cortona, made known to Americans by the Frances Maye memoir: Under the Tuscan Sun - a copy of which was there for me to read.
Another mile or two brings you to the larger city of Camucia with its large Tuesday Market. Don't miss it.
One of the great discoveries for us was that Michael's mother, Donatello, who owns her own appointment-only restaurant 150 meters down the road, as well as a cooking school, was able open her doors and cook for just us and another couple, one of the best meals we have had here in Italy, and for the most reasonable of prices. Michael arranged it for us (his English is perfect and he translated for his mother.)
When we return to Tuscany next year we will look to book with Michael again.

Lovely Home

The property is spacious with modern decor. Everything you could want is provided. The oven is a small free standing counter top oven, which I understand is common in Florida. We used the bikes to cycle to the beach. The area has proper cycle ways but it seems no one minds if you cycle on the pavement. The back porch of the house is lovely just to sit and relax and the pool is fine, we used it and it was March! It is close to great beaches, parks and also the Town Mall which is huge. We would rent this home again if we were to return to this area.

House was nice and clean. Pool was great. Location was great. It was close to everything. Didn't have any problems while we were there. Only negitive were the bathrooms. My husband and I are both disabaled. The toilets were not handicaped accessible. And the Shower was small. Other than that everything was good. We stayed 2 weeks and had a wonderful vacation.

Relaxing Stay in Comfortable House Near Cortona
Relaxing Stay in Comfortable House Near Cortona
What a lovely place to relax and enjoy the quiet neighborhood and yet be close to Cortona. We stayed at "Casa Moro" for three nights and were very comfortable and happy. The weather was a bit cold and rainy, but it didn't stop us from investigating Cortona one day. And one day we took a short train ride to neighboring Arezzo to walk the famous monthly Antique Outdoor Market. What a treat! The house has two very large and beautiful bathrooms. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to make your meals. We bought a few things at the market that is within walking distance and then later went to one of the many groceries/markets that are very close. And there are excellent restaurants and eating places nearby. We had a very special meal one night with Michele's (owner) mother and sister. They cooked for us a traditional Umbrian meal. Lots of dishes, hefty servings, good wine and a delicious dessert - in a beautiful place just a few minutes walk from the house. It was a very special evening. The bedroom was large and the bed was comfortable . . . we slept well. We took lots of walks and enjoyed the scenic area. We were just sad that the fireplace wasn't working . . . but Michele helped us figure out the heating and we were very warm and comfortable. Michele was a perfect host and made sure we had everything we needed. He sent us very detailed instructions on how to reach the property. Following the directions, we arrived with no problems. And he gave us a detailed map of the area, along with restaurant recommendations, which made things very easy for us. We definitely would like to return to "Casa" - perfectly spacious for us and we love the area. Perfect location to either relax in the house or beautiful garden or to use as a home-base to explore the area.

Let me say that the pictures are exactly what you will find at this home. The house was absolutely clean and in working order. As a single woman traveling alone I felt completely safe in the neighborhood, which is quiet and peaceful especially at night. The outdoor space was great-the pool and landscaping are quite nice. The house is in a residential area near all amenities: grocery stores, pharmacies, coffee shops and dining. Gil is an attentive property owner and I met both Gil and her husband when I arrived which was nice--they walked me through the house and answered any questions I had. A relaxing stay in the Florida sunshine. Looking forward to a return visit.

Wonderful Home & Location In Boca
Wonderful Home & Location In Boca
My cousin and I stayed here for the month of February, which was far too short a month, and my sister came down from Jacksonville for 10 days. We loved this home which was in a nice, quiet neighborhood and convenient to shopping, beach, movies, and the town of Delray Beach. Even my hometown bank was nearby. If your looking for something other than a hotel experience with no privacy and crowds in their restaurants and poolside, this is the perfect place. My sister's poodle, Claude Monet, especially enjoyed the large fenced in yard. We found the home well-cleaned and all amenities were available and in working order. The only negative was not having basic plus extended TV channels (do not mean or need premium channels, e.g. Home Box, Show Time, Cinemax, etc.). In addition to a wonderful home and stay, the owner is repsonsive and would like everyone to have an enjoyable stay in her hacienda. I surely will return to this home next year.

For a vacation, including my wife and daughter and my in-laws and our little dog, we decided to rent a house for two weeks over the Christmas vacation. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at this rental. Not knowing what to expect, the house is in nice condition, and everything was nicely laid out, including a portable crib for my daughter. This house was in a good location, with shopping close by that you could walk to. There were a couple of small issues that we encountered, but the owner was very quick to remedy them so we could enjoy our vacation. Overall, a nice time, and good value for the experience.

We rented this house for the month of October, 2012. We could not have been more pleased with the accomodations. The house(which was very clean), pool, furnishings and location are exactly as described and pictured on this site. We spent many lazy afternoons either by the pool or the nearby beach and evenings exploring the many restaurants in the area especially the ones on Atlantic Avenue in nearby Delray. Our Poodle/Bijon mix dog especially liked dog friendly Mizner Park.
During our stay there was some minor storm damage to a section of gutter and leader at the back of the house. We notified the owner and she had someone there within 2 hours to address the damage and clean up the area.
We were very happy with our stay and would recommend this property to friends and family.

We had great time in this house during our April Florida vacation. It's nice and comfortable, and way better than six people staying in the hotel for a week. We really enjoyed breakfasts by the pool and grilled fish in the evenings. The house is very cozy and there are a lot of things there that make you feel like at home. The owner was accommodating to our needs and we didn't have any problems with the security deposit. We enjoyed every day there and would love to stay there again.

Decent property, but some serious security deposit issues with the owner
Decent property, but some serious security deposit issues with the owner
I would STRONGLY recommend you doing NO business here.
The property was acceptable, but not in great shape. The pool was very dirty, pool chairs were broken etc. But that is not the issue. The issue is, after our stay, this owner withheld a large portion (almost 70%) of my security deposit without any specific detail or reason nor proof of damage. This is of course AFTER charging a cleaning fee up front. I am still kind of shocked at the brazen nature of this action. I have no recourse to get my money back. We are a respectful family, and would never treat someone else's property in a casual or damaging way. I know for a fact that the property was in the exact same condition as we found it, other than the usual dirty linens etc. So much for paying a cleaning fee up front right? I even went so far as to mop the floor before we left so no food particles would attract bugs. I am very disillusioned. This is the first time I have rented on VRBO and will obviously be my last. Very very angry and disappointed. I still have not seen any picture eveidence of the "major stains" that were supposedly left on the sofa, which we had covered with a sheet the whole time specifically so it would not get more dirty than it was when we found it. My faith in this system has been a little shaken. Please for you own good and pocketbook, I would strongly recommend not doing business with this owner.

We had a wonderful stay at your house in Boca. We were with our son and his girlfriend, both 17 years old, and everyone enjoyed the house and vacation. Exactly as described, spacious, clean, comfortable, very quiet neighborhood and close to everything that is required: grocery stores, french bakery, malls, restaurants, beaches. Very nice installation outside, we were able to prepare BBQ and have lunch outside near the pool even in January! Thanks Gil, it was our first experience in house rental and you made it very easy. We will definitely keep your name and refer friends and family.

This house is gorgeous open concept, and the pool area in the back yard is amazing
We spent most of our time by the pool. The location of the house is only minutes away from everything you could possibly want to do, restaurants theater the beach grocery stores drug stores everything you need. We are definatly going to come back and stay again.

I spent 6 days here with a business partner. We really didn't have time to take in any sights, but found the house very clean and comfortable. I think it was actually better than the pictures (which is not often the case). Never actually got into the pool, but it looked nice and inviting as did the back yard. The owner, Gil, was very accomodating and easy to work with. The neighborhood is nice as are the neighbors, who saw us one morning and reminded us that it was trash day. Very sweet. I would feel very safe here if I were to return with my family. There are a number of restaurants, a Publix and other stores just around the corner - and there were even 2 bicycles at the home for our use! I did notice that it was only a block or so to the beach. Very easy and direct route to the 95 freeway (about 5 min) and the turnpike (about 10 min). I would recommend this home to anyone.

The house is in a very good location with grocery, restaurants, shops, beach only minutes away. We had an AWESOME week and Family memories were made!! Would DEFINITELY rent again!!!

Our family stayed in this home from 4/1/11 to 4/9/11 and was everything our family could have wanted. There was four adults and two teenagers and the space was prefect. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. What was great you could use the pool anytime you wanted no time limits like a hotel. We would rent this place again in a minute. I had talked to Gil many times and when we needed something fixed it was taking care of very fast.

Il Moro Novo is a beautiful property set in the stunning Tuscan countryside. If peace and relaxation is what you are looking for this is the property for you.Il Moro Novo contains all the facilities needed for a pleasurable stay. It has a spacious and well equipped kitchen/living room, large bedroom and two bathrooms. All of the above are clean and well maintained. You can be very much self-sufficent as a grocery shop is within walking distance to provide you with all necessary purchases both food and otherwise. There is also a family restaurant and cookery school down the road where you can experience the Tuscan way of cooking. This is run by Michele's family and is very much a beautiful place to spend some time. Michele, the owner of Il Moro Novo, is most accommodating and friendly always. He provided us with bicycles for hire and was always willing to answer any questions we had about our explorations of the Tuscan countryside. Michele, however, also gave us great space and freedom to enjoy the propery and its surroundings. We would definitely recommend this property to our family and friends as Il Moro Novo is such a beautiful place to stay and relax away from the stresses and strains of everyday life. A place to wind down and really experience the Italian way of life.
Many thanks to Michele and all his family.

We had a very relaxing week in Boca. The home was very comfortable and exactly as advertised. Our party of six adults spent many hours by the pool and under the covered lanai. It was hard to break away to go to the beach which was very close by.
Shopping, restaurants and everything else we needed were all very convenient. The kitchen allowed us to cook in on the nights we didn't go out to eat. Plenty of room in the fridge for food and adult beverages. There was plenty of room to eat inside but the weather was so beautiful we ate on the lanai when we didn't dine out.
Popcorn and movie night was perfect on the two extremely comfortable leather couches.
The air conditioning made for a comfortable day and an easy nights sleep.
I couldn't have been more pleased with our stay.
