  Came to Todi with a girl friend and stayed here for two weeks. Very comfortable, with all the things I look for in a holiday apartment: pleasant bathroom with good lighting over the mirror, power outlet for hair dryer near mirror, towels and sheets that are no where near their use by date, bedside lamps that one can read by, a workable and well equipped kitchen, including good kitchen knives and wine glasses, and a washing machine. Close to town centre and amenities but not to busy roads. La Gardenia has all this and a VIEW to die for from the balcony, and even from the upstairs 'loo' . Carlo, the owner met us as arranged at the famous Tempio, and escorted us to the apartment, and kindly assisted us with getting our luggage upstairs. He gave us comprehensive explanations and instructions for all aspects of the apartment, parking information and sight seeing tips. I made the booking on line and this was all completed efficiently and effectively. I hope to return to Todi again, with my husband, and stay at La Gardenia.

  We spent 4 nights in this beautiful apartment in Todi. Large, clean and with all the amenities. Wonderful views of the Umbrian hills and a small balcony for sipping the Novello and watching the sunset over the Santa Maria della Consolazione church. The apartment is five minutes walk uphill from the parking lot (easy parking) and another five to the main square (still uphill - it is a hilltown after all). Carlo, our host, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Todi is a beautiful hilltown and perfectly located for exploring Umbria and he was more than willing to help.

  Todi is a marvellous medieval Umbrian hill town and staying at the La Gardenia appartment made it very special. La Gardenia is within easy walking distance from the town square's cafes, shops and historic buildings. It really is like going back in time. The appartment interior is comfortable, well equipped and has fantastic views from its balcony. Some upgrading is planned for winter 2011-12 and this would in my opinion give it a 5 star rating. It is worth while saying that La Gardenia is not for anyone with mobility difficulties and you are in a medieval building! Carlo is a wonderful host and we would not hesitate to make a return visit.

  Than Todi is the place for you. We were looking to live like the Italians for the summer and we rented this townhouse for almost 6 weeks in the summer and can't imagine doing it any other way. Carlo was very helpful, picking us up from the Train and bus stops and was a great help. His English was very clear, although he always apologizes for his bad English. We were all impressed. There are many steps up to the apartment, but it was totally worth it once we saw the view. Sitting in bed in the master bedroom, you can look out 2 windows with perfect views of two beautiful churches. My photographs don't do justice to what we looked at every night. I travelled with a 2 year old and I never felt like we weren't safe in the town or the apartment. He even provided us with a crib for her, which was perfect. The food was beyond amazing and my toddler even ate raw vegetables daily...something we can't get her to do here in Canada. There was a little tiny ,market at the end of the street and Cinzia who runs it, was beyond helpful. If I needed something, she tried her best to help and her produce was so fresh. One day I needed fresh basil, and she was out. She told me to come back in a couple of hours, and sure enogh, I got fresh basil, picked fresh out of a garden nearby. Months later, I still miss the daily trips to get our Latte Macchiato's and gelato's and hang out at the highest point in Todi, where there is also a park. We found a public pool which was a short bus ride to the bottom of the hill (we tried to walk thinking it didn't look too far from our balcony. it was a lot further than we anticipated, but an adventure nonetheless) :) The kitchen in the apartment was small but equipped with everything we needed although, the restaurants were so good, we ended up eating out a lot. My mouth still waters for the Bruschetta and pizza. We didn't have a car, but managed to figure out the train schedule which was good for us, although if you want to take a day trip to places other than Perugia or Terni, you really need to plan to stay over night as the regional train line doesn't run past 7:00pm. A few friends of ours came throughout the 6 weeks, and we all agree, that we would go back there in a second. Carlo was amazing and the apartment was very spacious. We will definitely go back at some point, hopefully soon! Thanks Carlo for a perfect Italian vacation.

  We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment and although there are many steps in Todi but the great views are worth the effort. Typically narrow streets limit vehicle access but Carlo was very helpful; met us and took us to the apartment from the car park just outside the city wall and delivered us together with luggage to our car after the stay. There are many interesting day trips possible from Todi and a great place to relax and enjoy the Umbrian experience. No problem finding things to do in staying for a week.

  We rented this apartment in June for one week,the apartment was clean, well maintained,plenty of room and wonderful views from the balcony,perfect for that early evening drink overlooking the valley below. Carlo the owner was charming,met us at the apartment to show us around,took us to the local supermarket in his car and even carried the groceries.A very warm welcome from a lovely host. Todi is a very nice hill town with everything you need,perfect for daytrips to Assisi,Spoleto and Perugia if you have a car. Happy to recommend this property for a holiday in Umbria

  This apartment, inside this walled town, and its idyllic surroundings comprised one of the top vacation experiences we have ever had. The two-floor apartment is clean, spacious, well layed-out, comfortable, artfully decorated, and very well stocked with towels, linen, and kitchen equipment and appliances. It is tucked within the ancient walls of this stunningly beautiful Umbrian hill town, with its lovely medieval and renaissance churches and temples, narrow hilly streets, piazzas, and fantastic views. The apartment has many windows which give the rooms a light airy atmosphere, as well as a balcony that gives you a huge unobstructed view of the valley and hills beyond, as well as of the five-domed Santa Maria della Consolazione church. The owner, Carlo, was incredibly helpful and kind, picking us up at the Ponte Rio train station down the hill, and returning us there at the end of our stay. He provided us with a lot of useful information including places and directions to grocery shop, eat (many restaurants, cafes, and pizzerias), and sites to see. The sunsets were spectacular, and the swallows magical. With the exception of an excursion to Assisi one day, we were happily content enjoying the sights, sounds, walks, and tranquility of Todi and this beautiful apartment for our week stay, and cannot wait to return!

  This was a wonderful vacation rental. We loved being here, being able to cook, to sit on the balcony admiring the amazing view, to read and lounge around in the pleasant and cozy rooms. Carlo was a terrific host. The information in the apartment is comprehensive and very helpful, and Carlo himself was always available to help with any problems. We ran into him on the plaza one day and he took time to walk us to some places in town we had not yet explored. He speaks excellent English (as well as some French!) and was a super guide. Groceries were near the apartment, as were a number of nice restaurants. Todi itself is a marvel. We had no car but really enjoyed walking in the town and the environs. Our only caveat: Todi itself requires the ability to walk up and down fairly steep hills (which became easy after a day or two) and the apartment is reached only by a couple of flights of stairs. We will come back to Todi and La Gardenia!
