Italian Culture at its Best

What a fantastic area is Umbria. We came to Umbria from Tuscany. Umbria is as beautiful as Tuscany without the tourists. Pozzo is a great location from which to visit all of the very beautiful and interesting hillside towns.

In the eleven days we visited Montefalco, Assisi, Gualdo Cantaneo, Trevi ,Foligno, and Spoleto. All very , very good to visit. Assisi was our favourite closely followed by Spoleto. All worth a visit and an easy drive from Pozzo which is centrally located.

The house/apartment is very comfortable. Great views from the windows and the church bells create a good atmosphere from 7am til 10pm

Well equipped functional kitchen that we used on most days. Strong wifi and cable tv were plus points

Pozzo is a very friendly village. Orlanda next door became good friends with my wife, Julie, and we also befriended Guiseppe & Christina who run the local Alimentari ( mini supermarket) literally 20 m from the front door. All communication was conducted in Italian – what a lot of fun.

Raquel, who manages the property for Diane, was very responsive. She arranged a cooking class at the local winery/restaurant with Wendy a 20 year Italian resident originally from Australia. The cooking class was extraordinary and highly recommended. Raquel followed up on our every request. Her English is very good. She gave us accurate advice on where to buy specific products. Very handy in a country where retailing structures are a lot different to Australia.

We would definitely visit Pozzo again and stay in this comfortable house .We could not fault our visit to Pozzo.

Thanks for the wine you left for us and be assured the flowers were well watered.

We wanted to get away from the tourist traps and congestion of the bigger cities and opted for a stay in a small village to get the true feel of Italian life. We were impressed when we saw the online views of this charming home and were delighted to see so much more beauty and charm than the photos could depict upon our arrival. This is a centuries old small farming town with the most incredibly friendly residents and we had very little difficulty in using our "travelers guide Italian" in communicating. The small grocery steps away run by Christina and Guiseppi had everything we could possibly want during our stay. The resident manager Raquel speaks fluent English and explained everything possible to make our visit one of the most relaxing vacations we had ever had. Raquel also took us on a guided tour to nearby villages, a local vineyard and one of the oldest olives mills in the Umbria area where we enjoyed such fabulous food and more than enough wine that we were grateful when she drove us to the hills of the beautiful Assisi where we were able to walk off some of the guilt ridden calories from our over indulgence. The church bells so close nearby were at first disarming but quickly added to the authencity and character of the entire trip. The owners obviously love the heavenly bed collections that are offered at some of the higher end hotels as the bedding and our sleep equaled anything we have ever paid premium to enjoy on other vacations. Without hesitation we would return for a hopefully much longer stay soon!

Pozzo is a lovely little village in Umbria. This home was perfect for us. Right next to the Piazza we had easy access to parking and the mercado.

Raquel made arrangements for us to have 3 wonderful wine and Olive garden tours. We made easy trips to Assisi and Spoleto for memorable sight seeing and eating great food. The house is very nice and comfortable. Our group of 4 enjoyed visiting in the living room with picturesque views. The kitchen and dinning room was very usable and nice for entertaining. We enjoyed several days and found the house to be most inviting and livable. The owners of the mercado were very helpful and friendly.

Casa di Fabio is like a second home to me. This was our second stay here in Pozzo, the first was 2 years ago. We fell in love with the house, Pozzo, and the people. Pozzo is located in Umbria which rivals the gorgeous scenery of Tuscany. It is a hidden gem. Pozzo is a great location and offers accessibility to many of the great Italian cities. Catch the train in nearby Foligno for day trips or rent a car and experience the wonder of the Italian countryside. Even getting lost is fun! Just make sure you have a trusty GPS. Experience the real Italy in Pozzo. Open up the shutters and windows and listen to pots clattering during lunch and dinner times, and don't forget to breath in the heavenly scent emanating from the neighbors kitchens. Listen to the sounds of neighbors gathered in the main square below, playing cards and talking. Better yet, go introduce yourself to some. You will be surprised at their friendliness! The house has everything you will need. Pots, pans, blankets, etc. Everything is beautifully redone and has the Italian charm you can only find in Italy. I wish I could visit more often, but I can rest easy because I know I will visit again!

My daughter and I stayed at this Pozzo apartment for the second time in two years. The apartment has two bedrooms, two bathrooms a large kitchen, dining room, living room and balcony. We couldn’t have asked for a better home to spend our time in this beautiful Umbrian countryside. The living room overlooks the town’s piazza and the view outside the bedroom is of the Umbrian countryside. You do not want to get out of bed as the view is captivating. The owners are English speaking and very easy to correspond with. The kitchen is fully stocked to cook those wonderful Italian dinners. The bathrooms are large and more like American bathrooms than the smaller Italian hotel bathrooms. If you are looking for a truly Italian experience we highly recommend staying at this home. The locals will welcome you with Italian hospitality.
