About this property
Casina in authentic Tuscany
It is the old home of our family! The apartment in question is located on the first floor of a traditional farmhouse. It consists of two double bedrooms, living room with sofa bed, fireplace, kitchenette and two bathrooms (one of these serving, without shower). To reach it there is the external staircase. Air conditioning in the bedrooms and in the living room. Free WiFi and parking. The structure has been recently renovated preserving the original characteristic features.

We loved staying in Fratticciola. The apartment was perfect for us (a couple). Many places outside in the beautiful garden to sit. The owner was very friendly and chatted to me in my broken Italian. The village was quiet- the best sleeps we have had in a long time. Would gladly stay again at this location! I was sad to leave here.
Just as described, beautiful authentic home and great hospitality from the hosts. Parking on site. Little market a block away and great central location to visit nearby towns. Quiet neighborhood and great views!
This was a perfect stay. Picturesque location, close to Cortona and wineries and shops- we even walked to one of them. Best of all though was the kindness of the host who left us wine, salad, bruschette and cantucci. We would LOVE to come back one day!
Our stay at Casina del Bibo was perfect and an ideal location to discover the beautiful countryside of Cortona.The house was rustic and charming and our hosts included some of their homemade wines for us too.
The property was perfect. Lots of room, enough dishes and basic necessities. Wifi was good. Central to our adventures to Siena, Cortona, Perugia and Assisi over the duration of our visit. Thank you!
We had a fantastic stay at this property! The house and its surroundings are absolutely beautiful—peaceful, well-maintained, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The hosts were truly wonderful and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Their attention to detail and hospitality really made a difference.The location is also very convenient, with a grocery store just a short walk away that’s well-stocked with all the essentials. While the bathrooms are on the smaller side, it wasn’t a problem for us and everything else more than made up for it.Highly recommended—we’d love to come back!
This is a charming house in a small town outside Cortona. Easily located near all the things you would want to see in the area. The host treated us like family and had homemade treats and wine waiting for our arrival. The house is perfectly suited for 4 people to stay and had a lot of charm. If you are looking to escape the hustle of daily life and relax this is the perfect location.
This is a cute spot in a very nice area. Well worth staying. The shower is very small, the place is otherwise perfect.

Exactly what we were looking for
The place is clean, charming and cozy. We were met with vin santo, cookies and bruschetta. They have guide books which really helped us out and we had a fun time choosing which room to sleep in. Very relaxing stay.

Beautifully located in a small village just outside of Cortona, with small grocery store only steps away. Very well appointed. Host was very friendly and fluent in English. Excellent restaurants within close range by car.
We enjoyed the serene and beautiful landscape around us. We didn’t rent a car so just relaxed in our beautiful apartment and walked the trails and shopped the local grocery who had so much great produce and food. Lorella and her mother were wonderful and so kind. They had Tuscan snacks and wine on our arrival and even surprise treats. I highly recommend staying here.
Lorella and Anna Maria were wonderful! They had a small platter and bottle of wine on the table waiting for us at check in. The apartment was cozy and had everything we needed. It was close to Cortona and all that Tuscany has to offer!

Grazie, siete stati ospiti gentili! Tornate a trovarci
Perfect combination of location, convenience, beauty and hospitality
We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed Anna Maria’s place. From Lorella’s welcome to the amazing Tuscan bread and figs. Their gifts of wine, food and most importantly, their warmth and friendliness. Fratticciola was the perfect home base for trips to Cortona, Lake Trasimeno, Montepulciano and Pienza. Everything was absolutely lovely. Grazie mille e Ciao!
We really enjoyed our time in this part of Italy such a quaint little village. Anna Maria and her family were extremely nice, helpful and accommodating. Thank you so much.
The property was very comfortable and cozy. It had everything you needed. The owners are such a lovely family and it was a joy to get to know them! Thank you Anna Maria, Lorella, and Andrea for everything!!
My mom and I stayed at Casina del Bibo for four days. The location is perfect if you want to stay in a small village away from all of the hustle of the Tuscan hill towns. You will definitely need a car, though. We stayed in the upstairs apartment, which had two large rooms with king sized beds (and air conditioning, which was much needed!). The sitting room is cozy. There is a small kitchen that seems well equipped, although we didn't cook anything. Anna Maria and her daughter Lorella were very easy and quick to communicate with. All in all a really lovely stay.

Cozy , relaxing and quaint stay
This Tuscany-Italy stay was very relaxing and easy access to tourist points like Cortona, Perugia, Florence, even Pisa. Ana María was a super host welcoming us with some of her handmade snacks, signature wines and olive oil. The olive oil was one of the best olive oils I’ve tasted during my stay. I highly recommend this quaint Tuscan apartment with its surrounding beauty. Thank Ana María for the hospitality.

Thanks Norma for everything and for leaving the house tidy and clean.

The Casina was such a lovely spot away from the crowds we'd seen in Florence and Venice. It was an easy drive to Cortona and Montepulciano and other towns in Tuscany. The apartment was perfect for our family of 4 and well appointed. We were greeted with a plate of bruschetta, wine and other treats when we arrived. The kitchen was perfect for preparing breakfast or an easy dinner. Laundry and shopping were a short drive away. Would definitely stay there again.
