Papavero is a Self-Contained Apartment with a large Pool, free WiFi & parking

This recently renovated country villa is situated in a beautiful rural setting, nestled in a village in the valley below the Etruscan town of Cortona. It has been converted, in traditional Tuscan style, into seven fully-self-contained, apartments.
The Papavero apartment sleeps two and is located on the ground and first floors and comprises an open plan lounge and kitchen/dining room with a spiral staircase to the first floor with:
A double bedroom and a toilet and shower room.
The apartment has air conditioning, winter heating and WI-FI Internet access. The kitchen has a fridge, oven, electric hob, Kettle and Toaster. There is an iron/board and hairdryer supplied in reception plus 2 clothes dryers for guests use. Bed and bath linen are included.
Our guests can enjoy the large 12m x 6m swimming pool and barbecue area (with sink). The pool area is equipped with tables, chairs and loungers. From here you will enjoy a spectacular view of the Tuscan hills.
The surrounding gardens are particularly beautiful in spring and early summer, with colour and scent from the many rose bushes, jasmine and lavender. The pool is open from the beginning of April until the end of September.
Any time is a good time to visit Tuscany, but in Spring and Autumn the climate is mild. Bus services and trains connect the larger towns, but having a car would be an advantage and you would be able to more easily enjoy the small towns and vineyards, which represent some of Tuscany’s strong points.
Tuscan cuisine is rich in vegetable dishes, tasty soups, meats flavoured with sage, rosemary, and thyme.
A holiday in Tuscany is an experience that will give you happy memories for the rest of your life.

To travel to the apartment:
