Staying at "Il Roseto" in Cortona for 9 nights was absolutely a wonderful experience. Fernando is an ideal host. He communicated with us before we arrived, througout our stay and even messaged us after our departure to check on us. His son, Fransesco, picked us up at the train station, drove us to the house and showed us around. We had some trouble with the dryer and Fernando and Fransesco both came over to get it to work. Fernando always responded to our questions immediately. He is the best VRBO host we have ever experienced. The house is a dream. The pictures don't do it justice. We told friends we stayed in a "villa"! It is beautiful, has everything you could want and was spotless when we arrived. It is in a perfect location in Cortona, close to Piazza della Repubblica. It is on a quiet street. The only thing we heard in the morning were birds and church bells in the distance. We could not find a driver to take us to the train station on our last day. We dreaded the thought of lugging our luggage to the shuttle bus area, which would have most likely taken us a good 45 minutes what with the steps and hilly streets of Cortona (charming and fun if you're just walking around). Fernando communicated with us for days trying to find a driver. In the end his wife went out of her way to drive us. I thanked him and told him he was a lovely man. He responded that he was "just a normal man who liked to help people." If we ever return to Cortona, we will definitely stay at "Il Roseto"
