Umbertide houses

The setting is a typical Italian hillside hamlet, with simple furnishing, good hot water and what you would expect in a country kitchen. The pool is a great bonus and the setting in the garden and olive grove is picturesque. The house us clean and well maintained and tge furnishing is as it says - rustic. A good base to laze in the sun or wander around upper Umbria.

The house was fabulous, felt at home straight away. Loved all of the outdoor spaces. Pool & jacuzzi amazing. Surrounding views were beautiful. The only thing that would have made everything perfect would be AC in the bedrooms. The fans just didn’t really make much difference.

Having spent 9 wonderful days in this Umbrian oasis I can say with certainty that the photos do not do the place justice. Lorella and her family were there to meet us and explain where everything is. They were so friendly and welcoming and were back to clean the pool each morning. Very responsive hosts and great to chat about the surrounding area and places to go. The house is sat atop a promontory on the side of a high ridge and has beautiful views all round and a surprising amount of land. The pool is huge and has wonderful views. It’s well placed to explore Umbria and Tuscany and there’s plenty of wildlife just in the garden areas including beautiful butterflies, violet bees and a resident jay. Wonderful selection of restaurants within east driving distance. We visited the towns of Gubbio, Montone (wow!) and Cortona (on hosts’ recommendation) and have come home determined to return! Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Thank you Lorella and your wonderful family 🙏

Our extended family of 15, kids, grown-ups, and grandparents, has truly enjoyed this beautiful house and garden. Private and peaceful. Well equipped and comfortable.

We spend a week i early july at this beautiful property, two adults and two children. The house is the perfect size for a small family and actually even more beautiful than on the pictures! The location is great- calm and quiet yet close to town and to fantastic Perugia. Our special tip is talking a walk up the Mattonata to the Eremitage (we ran up once every day before dinner)! All in all a dream-place that we’d definitely come back to! Special thanks to Laura and her family for the warm welcome and to Adriano for service, help and kindness- in spite of our terrible Italian :-)
