  • What a wonderful accommodation for our first trip to Italy. The house was lovely, the view spectacular. It was close enough to walk to Bettona and a short ride to Assisi for catching trains to Florence and Rome. Renato, the host, was so welcoming. Would I return? Absolutely.

  • The main apartment was wonderful - everything we expected & more. The owners were very friendly & helpful. The only small difficulty was reading in the livingroom. There were no table lamps & the lighting is not bright. We would very definitely rent this proprty again.

  • Without doubt, the most elegent, tasteful and certainly the largest villa we have ever stayed. The website does not do this property real justice. Renato is the perfect host who is always there when you need him but never intrusive. We thank you for allowing us to share your property for 2 weeks.

  • Our three week stay at La Casa della Ginestra was absolutely marvelous. It is nearly impossible to describe the beautiful views of Bettona, Perugia and Assisi from the verandas of this magnificient home. The rooms are spacious, extremely clean and very well-appointed. Renato Morbidelli is a fine host who makes one feel most welcomed. A bottle of their own olive oil was a pleasant and fine tasting surprise. We would certainly return for another stay and highly recommend it to anyone considering a stay in Umbria.

  • Henri and I spent two weeks at this wonderful place in mid October/2007 for our 25th wedding anniversary. We rented the large beautiful house with gorgeous vistas that we enjoyed daily from the terraces. The house is comfortable and spacious, well equipped and well located for day trips anywhere in Umbria and a lot of Tuscany. The Morbidelli family were gracious and helpful hosts. We had an outstanding stay at Casa Morbidelli and probably will return at some point.

  • Renato and Lola - the perfect hosts - a perfect setting overlooking their olive groves, Bettona's walled city & further away, Assisi. We traveled to most of the hill towns and thoroughly enjoyed our Umbrian holiday. The size of the house will surprise you. Four bedrooms (we were a group of 4 women) and we each had our room with plenty of space. We did seem to be back each night in time for the sunset with a glass of wine in hand to enjoy the view and review our events of the day and plan the next day activities. Our rental car did have a GPS and Val (we named her) assisted with all our itineraries. This ranks high on my list of favorites and I'm happy to highly recommend. Best regards Renato & Lola.

  • My husband, Thom and I, just returned literally from our first stay at The Broom House and it will not be our last. We were kindly hosted by Renato and his mother, Lola, during our stay. We started out 30 August to 1 September in the small apartment which was much larger than expected. The view from the dining area was magnificent. The only item of note is that since this is on the third floor the ceiling in the bathroom is very slanted and will be a challenge for taller guests. I'm 5'8" and found it challenging but not impossible. From 1 September through 7 September we stayed in the large apartment (which is bigger than our house in Raleigh!) but not so big it loses charm. The hallways are wide and the rooms spacious with plenty of closet space and wonderfully decorated. But the windows, ohh the windows. You have these floor to ceiling door and huge windows that open to let in the most wonderful breezes from across the valley. Others have mentioned the view from the terrace, but it is hard to describe how beautiful, and pictures still fail to show amazing it really is. You can see Assissi and Bettona from the terrace which has two large teak dining tables and plenty of chairs which we used when we had dinner in one night and watched the the sun set. The sun sets over the mountains behind Bettona and it is like a postcard. We were even treated to fireworks one night from a festa in a neighboring town Passagio. We have used VRBO before in the states but this was our first use for a property outside the US but it will be our ONLY location when we visit Italy again. Thank you Renato for the olive oil, wine, and most of all for sharing the beautiful place we called "Our Italian Apartment" for too short a week. Arrivederci e a presto! D & T Wilkinson Raleigh, NC USA P.S. If you have a GPS unit and you can buy the plug-in for Italy consider doing this. We used our Garmin Nuvi and it worked like a charm.

  • We (4 adults and 6 children)were Renatos guests from 7th. of July to 14th of July 2007. The property was a fantastic place with wonderful wiew both from the big balcony and the pool. Dinner at the balcony with sunset and wiew to Bettona is really to recommodate! The property is situated close enough to Bettona to walk - a nice little town with very few tourists and some recomendable osterias. It is also very central to visit Assissi and other nice Umrian towns from the Middel ages. Renato was a very helpful host. I hope he now also have provided wine glasses to the apartment for the comming guests. Milk glasses for tasteful Umbrian wines in not to recomend...But this was also the only negative thing to remark. We had a very pleasent stay! Marit and Ole - Norway

  • Had a very nice two-week-vacation in this villa of Renato's family. Me, my wife and our 12-year-old daughter stayed at the mansard apartment for reasonable price. Renato always answered to our questions and information requests - and, indeed, we had a lot of them. Visiting to Bettona gave us real Italian feeling - although neither of us can Italian language.
