About this property

Beautiful Panoramic Views From This 17th Century House With Large 12m. Pool

This seventeenth-century stone farmhouse enjoys a spectacular setting in the heart of Umbria. It overlooks the Spoleto Valley with stunning views across to the city of Spoleto in the south and to Assisi in the north.

The house forms a separate part of our larger home, which remains unoccupied during your visit to guarantee your complete privacy.

The swimming pool is open from the end of May until the end of September and is not shared, for your private use only. Recently restored, the house and gardens have a marvellously quiet and restful atmosphere. Surrounded on three sides by 1 hectare and a half of olive trees, fruit trees and grape vines, it sits on the edge of a picturesque village set halfway up a hill crowned by a fifteenth-century ruined castle.

- An upper garden with a gazebo/pergola. A dining terrace. And lower gardens with terraces and a large swimming pool (12m-5m) with a spectacular view. The property faces West and enjoys beautiful sunsets.
- There are two double bedrooms that can accommodate up to four guests. The bedrooms can be configured as King-size doubles or twin beds depending on your requirements. A baby cot is also available.
- Two bathrooms, one with bath and shower, one with shower.
- A large living room with a mezzanine balcony.
- A fully fitted modern Kitchen-dining room which opens onto the terraces and garden.
- A Utility room - with washing machine.
- WiFi Fire
- Private gated parking.
All bed linen and towels for the bathrooms and the pool are provided. The pool is cleaned once a week.

The garden with its many olive trees, vines, fig fruit trees are regularly tended throughout the year.

Traumhafter Blick, wunderbarer Pool, schönes Haus
Wir hatten wundervolle 1.5 Wochen im Haus von Silvia und Julian. Der sehr große Pool stand zur alleinigen Nutzung zur Verfügung. Man hat vom Pool und Haus einen traumhaften Blick auf die umbrische Landschaft. Die Kommunikation mit Julian war stets problemlos möglich, immer nett und zuvorkommend und lösungsorientiert. Danke dafür!

Verstecktes Kleinod in Umbrien / Hidden gem in Umbria
Das Haus von Julian ist mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail und Geschmack eingerichtet. Die Beschreibung und die Fotos stimmen zu 100%. Der große Pool ist in jeder Beziehung phantastisch und (nicht nur von dort) hat man einen einmaligen Blick in die weite Ebene. Man braucht ihn aber auch wegen der Hitze (3 Wochen, 35-39 C). Poreta liegt strategisch günstig um alle interessanten Orte und Stätten im südlichen Umbrien zu entdecken. Julian ist ein wunderbarer Gastgeber und sein verlängerter Arm vor Ort (Franchesca) kümmert sich um Haus, Garten + Pool, immer nach individ. Absprache. Die Kommunikation mit Julian war von Anfang an perfekt. Die Wegbeschreibung zum Haus gibt´s als kurzes Video, was uns ohne Umwege dorthin geführt hat. Seine Restaurant-Tips lohnen sich und die "Lovely Pasta Ladies" sollte man sich ebenfalls nicht entgehen lassen! Fazit: Julian ist ein wunderbarer Gastgeber, dem alles daran liegt, dass man sich bei ihm wohlfühlt. Das Haus mit seinem nicht einsehbaren Grundstück + Pool und die Ruhe dort sind Garanten für eine perfekt Erholung! Viele Dank, Julian!!! Julian's house is furnished with great attention to detail and taste. The description and photos are 100% accurate. The large pool is fantastic in every respect and (not only from there) you have a unique view of the wide plain. But you also need it because of the heat (3 weeks, 35-39 C).Poreta is strategically located to discover all the interesting places and sites in southern Umbria. Julian is a wonderful host

Our stay at La Straniera
Accommodation was as advertised. The two-story apartment on the other end of the house fitted two couples without a problem. View from the pool area and the kitchen terrace was magnificent as the sun sets behind a mountainous horizon. During our vacation week temperature was averaging 35 degrees in celsius during the day but the house had ceiling and floor fans so we managed to sleep quite well. A rental car or other means of readily available transportation is advisable as the house resides in a hilly suburb that does not have a lot within walking distance. The host was amazing, very helpful and was always within the reach. We were provided with great recommendations, one of which was a cooking lesson in a nearby restaurant. We cooked local pasta dish with local ingredients and ate it after with the guidance of the lovely chefs there. If you do not mind the suburban setting with the nature close by and you have means of getting around, look no further!

Perfekter Urlaub
Diese Unterkunft entspricht absolut unseren Erwartungen an einen perfekten Urlaub: Eigener, privater, großer Pool. Ruhige Lage und tolle Aussicht. Gute Anbindung an wunderschöne Ausflugsziele wie z.B. Assisi, Spoleto, Cascata della Marmore und Perugia. Auch die gute Infrastruktur zum Fahrradfahren hat uns begeistert. Die Betten waren bequem und die Küche war mit allem ausgestattet, um auch mal selber zu kochen. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die gute Begleitung durch Julian. Nach mindestens 10 Jahren Erfahrung mit Ferienhäusern, übertraf die zuvorkommende und informative Kommunikation mit ihm alles bisher Erlebte. Z.B. vermittelte er uns einen Kochkurs, gab uns gute Tipps für Restaurants und all unsere Anliegen wurden von ihm sofort geklärt. Wobei das nicht viele waren, weil an jede Kleinigkeit gedacht wurde. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!

Peaceful retreat
We stayed at the property in Poreta and loved it. Whilst being away from the Cities it is easy driving to get to any place and we took full advantage of this visiting, Spoleto, Perugia, Assisi, Orvieto. Julian provided us some great links to places to go and eat and we were not disappointed. We finished our trip with a stop in Orvieto on our way back to Rome and had our best meal of the holiday, highly recommend a visit to Ristorante Caffe, Capitano del Popolo, fantastic cooking and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend this property as a great place to stay.

Beautiful and Cosy Gem
We (family of four) had just come back from staying in this villa. It is a wonderful place, very comfortable with fantastic views and the pool was just right. The host are not present, when they have visitors but are in constant touch via WhatsApp, should you need any help. Julian and Sylvia made you feel very welcome. From the video on how to get to the villa to the views and the recommended restaurants, which we made the most of, had a great time and would stay again.

Perfecte locatie om de streek te verkennen
De woning ligt op een heuvel in een klein dorpje. Perfecte uitvalsbasis om in de streek op verkenning te gaan. Mooie locatie met prachtig zicht en ruim zwembad. In de namiddag steekt er steeds een briesje op. De keuken is voldoende uitgerust, leuk afgewerkte badkamers. De eigenaars zijn zeer behulpzaam en vriendelijk. Enige minpuntje is dat de voordeur zich in 1 van de slaapkamers bevindt (straatkant).

Großartiges Haus mit phänomenaler Aussicht
Wir haben zu zweit 11 Nächte hier verbracht und hatten eine wundervolle und erholsamen Zeit. Das Haus verfügt über eine sehr gute Ausstattung (u.a. voll ausgestattete Küche, zwei Bäder, mehrere Außenbereiche) und besonders der große Pool lädt zur täglichen Entspannung und auch Abkühlung ein. Und immer ist da diese grandiose Aussicht, die mit dem Lauf der Sonne immer neue Eindrücke parat hält - und Lust macht, einzelne Orte wie Spoleto oder Trevi aus der Nähe zu erkunden. Abgerundet wurde das alles durch die immer schnelle und hilfreiche Kommunikation mit Julian.

Velrenoveret hus, med meget høj beliggenhed
Huset var ideelt for os, god plads, godt indrettet og vel udstyret køkken en god stue til de dage det var lidt koldt at sidde ude. Vi skuffedes dog til sidst, vi håndterede parasoller præcis som ejer bed os om, men pga en dårlig parasolfod der sad løst i foden, vippede parasollen den ene nat og gik i stykker. Vi blev bedt om at køre til en anden by og købe ny og sende kvitteringen til ejer. Det har vi endnu ikke hørt noget om, det vil være en skuffende afslutning på et ellers dejligt ophold, såfremt vi skal betale for en ny parasol.

Julian und Silvia sind großartige Gastgeber, die immer mit Rat und Tat zur Seite standen. Schon zu Beginn wurden wir mit hilfreichen Tipps versorgt inkl googlemaps link, wo was zu finden ist.

Lovely holiday home near Spoleto.
Immaculately and tastefully renovated (or perhaps newly constructed in part?) property. Ideal for 4 adults, with two modern bathrooms. Well equipped kitchen leading to a terrace, with other sitting areas overlooking some lovely Umbrian countryside and the small village of Poreta. The whole area is very quiet and peaceful. And there is one of the nicest pools that I have come across in many years of travelling on the continent. It is clean, spacious, and set amongst olive and fruit trees. The owners always communicated promptly and helpfully, whilst, on the spot, Bianca makes an efficient and charming manager with good English. More than adequate information is provided about local shops etc. Wide choice of good local restaurants. Plenty of places to visit, though we restricted ourselves to Spoleto, which is delightful (but as with other Italian hill towns do not attempt to drive into the centre - park at the Posterna car park and take the free escalator). Not advisable, however, to take a large car to the property as it is set on a hill side (hence the fine views) and turning and reversing are somewhat restricted (but we managed with Ford Fiesta size cars), though there is parking for two cars in tandem. Also, there are some steps, but not an unreasonable number. Almost needless to say, we much enjoyed our stay.

Stunning unsurpassed views
Manager an absolute pleasure to deal with. Supplied her personal pedestal fan as it was so hot inside downstairs and a replacement umbrella. Love the views and local people - Fontanelle restaurant is a must. The host Mimma will bring you wonderful choices is you leave it to her. Could do with a table and chairs around the pool and small table on the terrace for drinks as floor is uneven. Fan downstairs is a must as when hot it looks s unbearable. This was our second visit and we would definitely stay there again.

Jederzeit wieder
Treffpunkt mit Bianca, die uns während der zwei Wochen betreute, war eine Vinothek, wo wir sehr nett mit Wein, Salami und Käse (alles Produkte aus der Region) empfangen wurden. Das Haus hat eine tolle Lage mit Blick über das Tal bis Spoleto. Die Einrichtung des Hauses ist geschmackvoll. Allerdings könnten in den Schlafzimmern etwas mehr Ablagemöglichkeiten bzw. wenigstens mehr Kleiderbügel vorhanden sein. Leider ist Grillen, aus welchen Gründen auch immer, nicht erlaubt, entsprechend auch kein fester Grill vorhanden. Leider auch nur italienische Sender im TV. Hervorheben möchte ich die super Betreuung von Bianca, die sich immer wieder nach uns erkundigte, uns wertvolle Tipps gab und für uns jederzeit erreichbar war. Fazit: wir kommen gerne wieder!

Fabulous house with fabulous views
Myself, my husband and two teenage daughters had a fantastic week staying here. The house and the pool are beautiful. The house being finished to a very high standard and very well equipped. The view from the pool is amazing. I don't think the pictures do the property or the pool real justice, much better in real life. Bianca, the house keeper was very helpful and we knew she was on hand if we needed her. The position of the property is also very good, with several beautiful hilltop towns and villages within half hour drive in either direction, which meant that every day we could go out as well as having time to enjoy the house and pool. We enjoyed picking fresh figs and herbs from the garden to use in our meals. I would throughly recommend the property.

A beautiful house with stunning views
We had a fantastic week long stay in August. The house itself has been beautifully renovated and included everything a family of 4 would need. The private pool is enormous with far reaching views across the Umbrian hills. The two terrace areas again provide amazing views across the hills while dining outside. We couldn't fault our stay and would love to return.
