Wonderful Stay in Corciano
My wife and I spent 7 days (Oct.25-Nov.1,2024) in Corciano at the Rock House. It was fabulous. Corciano and the house are gems. Corciano has all the charm of an ancient hilltop village without being overrun with other tourists and endless stores/shops. We felt immersed in a little true Italian community. It was the most relaxing week of our 3.5 week trip.
Host Rosella has thoughtfully decorated the House, the kitchen was great, the lighting throughout was superb and the bedroom was very comfortable .. we slept great all week.
An extra bonus was neighbor Theresa who cooked for us 4 of our 7 nights. She made us some great home cooked meals with fresh ingredients from her garden. We asked if she could prepare some seafood one night and we ended up with an amazing feast from the sea that was enough for two nights. She was also very adept at accommodating my Gluten free needs.
We also had dinner one night at Locanda San Michele just down the street - they specialize in seafood. When gazing at the entrance, you'd never know that there was such a fine restaurant inside. I found that throughout Italy. The smallest hole in the wall may be hiding a real culinary treasure.
I must give a shout out to the Orange Cafe as well. It's a quirky little gathering spot for locals and visitors to grab a drink. It has a fun vibe.
We had a car and driving up and parking at the Rock House is modestly challenging. The hilltop ring road is a little tight but manageable.
