Part II of trip to Italian hill towns of Tuscany and Umbria:
Eight friends gathered for this autumn visit, so we rented La Poventa villa, a renovated 19th century farmhouse just outside the Tuscan hill town of Cortona, as our base of operation. The villa had five bedrooms with the capacity to sleep 10 people, and four bathrooms.
Villa amenities included heating, full kitchen with cookware and dinnerware. Of course in this day and age, television and wireless internet came with the package.
The front-loading washing machine, with instructions printed only in Italian, proved too complicated for us to use. The manager has promised to provide English-language instructions for subsequent guests.
The villa featured a swimming pool, but with the cool October temperatures, only one member of our party was brave enough to take a dip.
