Piane di Collevecchio holiday lettings

Great communication with Eliano before we arrived. A lovely welcome with some fantastic local food treats and a detailed tour around the well equipped villa. The house and pool is well laid out with plenty of shade and fantastic views. The countryside is beautiful with a multitude of hilltop towns and wooded peaks. Overall great hosts and a very relaxing holiday.

This is a beautiful property, on the side of the mountain. You reach it via a twisting mountain road very narrow in places . Scenery is breathtaking, changing from scrub to dense forest. If you use the location on the HomeAway map for this property it literally takes you to the property. It is behind big black gates oh the right hand side . Although the apartment is underneath the owners villa it is as if you are on your own . The owner is so friendly, but never intrusive. The apartment is very clean , bathroom, kitchen / dining room/ living room and a good size bedroom. All traditionally decorated. The view from the bed agin is for hundreds of miles and there is a gravel are out side with tables an chairs . Lovely in the late evening as it’s out of the blazing sun but you can watch incredible sunsets! The swimming pool is absolutely spotless and beautifully maintained. It is at a higher level to the apartment accessible via a private path and a few steps . The pool has a very deep end and a good length so you can have a proper swim . The view from the sun loungers beside the pool are incredible and you see for hundreds of miles , beautiful. The pool is totally private use for the appointment, although next to the villa but total privacy is respected by the owner . There is one village about 2 km down the mountain which has an excellent village shop , fresh fruit and veg , super meats cheeses breads wine . If you want the ultimate peace and quite this is the place for you , total seclusion. The owner gives you a key to the front gate so you can come and go as you want. She also has the most magnificent Labrador dog who is super friendly! Wonderful holiday !!

The peace and tranquility of this beautiful apartment and Roccantica itself was just what we needed and appreciated after our break in Rome. Massimo and Giovanni were so welcoming and had provided everything we needed to settle us in - a tray of fruit, bread and cheese etc and a bottle of Prosecco. We drank this watching the sunset from the pretty garden and admiring the lovely wooded hills and more distant views. The apartment is very spacious and comfortable and we loved its features. It’s a very special place which we hope to return to again. We really felt ‘at home’ in the apartment. We walked locally and around nearby Casperia along the ‘Strada Bianci’ (white roads) between vineyards and hedges of autumn fruiting trees. The countryside is captivating and the little restaurant inside the walls of Casperia is great for lunch. There are many attractive and interesting hill towns further afield which we would visit on a longer stay.
