Rural relaxation in beautiful Umbria
The house, pool and gardens are of really high quality, are private and the views of the surrounding countryside are excellent and all lead to a fantastic and very relaxing stay. Even in the unusually hot weather for the region that we had the house was airy and cool, so much so we only used the fans and didn’t need to turn on the air-con units. Also the garden (that has plenty of shaded areas) seems to capture any welcome breeze that is on offer. The property is also ideally located for exploring Umbria and is only 20 minutes from the motorway.
The nearby village has everything you need for the stay (fruiteria, two butchers, other shops and a good sized supermarket, ATM, pharmacy and small cafe/bar/restaurants to sit and watch the world go by) and the locals are so friendly - it is a five minute drive from the house but we would also recommend trying the more challenging yet fun walk up via the nearby track at least once... in the cooler parts of the day obviously! I’d also suggest checking out what is happening in the village and nearby towns in terms of events and markets.
We have booked these sorts of holidays on a number of occasions and I can honestly say all dealings with the owner and then subsequently the local contact were first class, from the initial booking enquiry right through to our departure. A benchmark for how these things should be done.
We highly recommend this property!
