Dear David, thank you so much for the lovely review! I’m so happy to hear you had the wonderful holiday you were hoping for. We’d absolutely love to welcome you back anytime!
A hidden gem with soul in a peaceful place. The house was very clean, nicely renovated combining modernity with the building's authentic history. The host was very kind and professional. There are shops (and charging points) nearby. WiFi was available in the entire mansion. The pool is large and, as the garden, very well kept. We loved our stay.

Dear Daniel,
Thank you for your feedback. I am glad you had the holiday you were hoping for, and we hope you will come back to visit us again. We heard that you fed a stray kitten during your stay. We found her when we arrived as well, and I hope you will be pleased to know that she is now living in Rome with us.
Warm regards,
Valeria
We stayed here for a family reunion and the villa was absolutely amazing (one member of our group is already looking to come back next year to stay!). Great host, great communication, beautiful property - we would absolutely stay here again next time we're in Italy!

Dear Alexander, thank you for your words. The satisfaction of guests staying at our property is important to us. We would be happy to host you again, and hope to see you again very soon.
Valeria
We loved our stay! The villa is very charming and comfortable. We loved spending time by the pool and walking around the area. We were in the area for a wedding at the vineyard just down the street, and I cannot imagine a better place to have stayed!
I highly recommend staying at Valeria’s place!

Thanks for your words. The satisfaction of our guests is always important to us. We are happy that you were able to fully enjoy our beautiful valley.
We would be happy to host you again.

A fabulous place to spend 2 weeks with grown-up family. Beautifully appointed home with so many seating areas both inside and out - and a wonderful pool. The local manager, Sandra, was excellent- can’t praise her enough.
Very nice house with a very large pool. The view and surroundings are stunning. Everything you need is in the house kitchen. Very quiet place.
Excellent vacations with a family with 4 children
We had a lovely week at this property with our family! The atmosphere of the house is cozy, the place is very nicely renovated respecting the history but with modern amenities. The swimming pool is superb. The location is beautiful and peaceful, amazing views. Still not a long drive e.g. to the grocery store. Would definitely recommend this place for a family vacation! Only negative thing during this July heatwave was that there is no air conditioning and there was a little too warm inside the house as well.

Thank you, Ella.
We are happy you had a nice holiday!
This villa and the surrounding countryside are beautiful. The interior is as-advertised, the pool is beautiful, and the grounds are immaculate. Do keep in mind that the location is somewhat remote. It is easy to find using Google Maps, but the final mile or so is on a gravel road that is quite steep and rutted in places. We were able to get in and out without great difficulty in a front wheel drive car with normal clearance.

Dear Paul,
Many thanks for your kind review.
We are very happy that you and your family enjoyed your vacation in our property.
Your advice about the last Kilometer of gravel road is very pertinent. I never thought to mention it in the house description, but I will.
I hope to have you again as our guests, soon.
Valeria
Our family and friends group from Germany and the US had a remarkable stay at Podere Gnani in June 2025. Communications with owner Valeria and house manager Sandra were flawless and always informative with lots of local tips. You have the feeling of coming home when you enter into the villa through the kitchen door! I spent blissful hours at the pool marveling at the hills and olive groves in my view and saving grasshoppers and cicadas and even a frog that had fallen into the pool. We were there just as a heat wave descended on the valley. While the middle of the days were very hot, humidity is low and the mornings and evenings were pleasantly cool. Rooms all had fans to help circulate the air. The villa is located in a lush valley with a working vineyard down the hill and very friendly neighbors. Thank you for offering your home - I find my thoughts being pulled back to Umbria to experience more of the remarkable culture, food, and world heritage sites.

Dear Raymond,
What you wrote is exactly what we hope our guests take away from their stay. We're very happy you loved the house, the hills, and the tranquility.
We truly hope you'll come back to visit us in the future.
Warm regards, Valeria
The communication throughout was excellent. Very fast and friendly response in the run up to our stay. Our flight was delayed, but it was all very flexible and well managed.The house is in such an amazing spot. There are a few houses nearby but all far enough away that you feel like you're the only one on the hill. Yet, it is 15 minutes to a nearby town with supermarkets, restaurants etc and even Perugia is less than 30 minutes away. The house is very spacious. We were with 7 people and there was plenty of room. The kitchen is also spacious, and well equiped although we ate on the beautiful table outside everyday. Even though it was warm (35 degrees) outside, the house never felt too warm. In the evenings it was especially pleasant given that you are in the mountains. The pool is beautiful, well sized and well maintained. The children were there every day. We visited Lago Trasimeno, which is 20 minutes away. There are beaches there and we had a nice swim and a play on paddle boards. All in all, this was a great find and we loved our stay.

Dear Michiel,
I’m very glad to hear that you had a good time, and that you loved the house, the hills, and its secluded, peaceful location. Summers have indeed become quite hot, but I’m happy you found some relief within the thick, ancient walls of the house.
In the future, we’ll look into ways to make the temperature more comfortable.
We truly hope you’ll want to visit us again.
Warm regards,
Valeria
La maison est splendide, nichée au calme dans les collines ombriennes, elle meublée et décorée avec goût et personnalité : l’inverse de l’esthétique standardisée et sans âme que l’on retrouve dans beaucoup de locations. Chaque objet, chaque meuble, chaque tableau a été choisi. La grande cuisine conviviale ou rien ne manque donne sur la terrasse principale, avec son salon extérieur et grande table pour les repas, et plusieurs autres terrasses permettent de profiter de l’air frais et de trouver l’ombre aux heures chaudes. Le jardin est généreux et la piscine impeccable.Les magasins les plus proches ne sont pas loin, et l’emplacement de la maison permet de rayonner facilement dans cette partie de l’Ombrie. Le chemin d’accès est en terre mais est tout à fait praticable en voiture “normale”. À noter pour les familles avec des enfants en bas âge : il y a beaucoup de marches dans la maison. et pour ceux qui redoutent la chaleur : il n’y a pas de climatisation, mais en fermant soigneusement le jour les parties exposées au soleil puis en organisant des courants d’air le soir, la température reste supportable et les ventilateurs sont suffisants. Un grand merci pour l’accueil et la disponibilité.
Beautiful property in an idyllic Italian valley. Property was clean and ready for us. We loved the Italian coffee makers and appreciated the coffee to use with them. We did need to bring Keurig-type cups for those of us who preferred the other coffee maker. We did not cook much, but the herb garden just outside the kitchen is a nice touch. The house is in the midst of a beautiful, very rural valley which means you need to keep all food put away to not attract outside creatures.
The beds were comfortable and bedding clean. The bedrooms had dressers and wardrobes and opened up to beautiful views and patios.
We felt very safe. The property is secured with a private gate and can be locked up tight. The area is quiet, with other estates sprinkled here and there around the valley. Though, we did have a gecko visit us in the lower level bedroom one evening.
The bathrooms had linens and soap, shampoos, etc. The showers were refreshing albeit small as can be expected. The water pressure was very good and supplied enough hot water for 6 adults to feel refreshed and ready for another day of exploring.
Communication with Valeria was easy and she was always ready with a quick YES to all of our requests.
Valeria has a team of people to ensure your stay is as good as can be. Sandra makes sure the house is ready for you and greets you upon arrival with a tour of the house. Marga helped us create and took care of the details for an itinerary filled with tours, wine tastings, truffle hunting, a private chef, private drivers, dining reservations, and even joined us on a trip to Gubbio to translate as we researched our grandfather's childhood home. With her help and the help of Mauricio (our exceptional driver and translator) and a few kind citizens of Gubbio, we were not only able to find our grandfather's home, but met a distant relative and found the final resting places of other ancestors! Linda was our private chef on our last night. She prepared a number of authentic dishes from the region, a few were very similar to dishes we grew up enjoying.
Finally, a word about Mauricio, our driver. He was always prompt and patient when we were running late. And, the help, translations and enthusiasm from both him and Marga to help us find our grandfather's home is truly a treasure we all hold dear. We could not have done it without them. Hurray to Valeria for putting together such a wonderful team.
Nous connaissons bien l’ombriez et y allons régulièrement mais séjourner dans cette maison nous a fait redécouvrir le lieu. Tout est sublime. La bâtisse, les chambres, la piscine, la vue à couper le souffle. La maison est parfaite pour qui voyage en famille avec des enfants. Nous reviendrons sans l’ombre d’un doute.
The house, the garden, the pool, the views and the surroundings: we had a great stay. Both us and the kids had a good time. The service by Sandra was very good and responsive. Thank you!

Grazie per aver scelto di essere nostri ospiti, è un piacere sapere di essere riusciti ad offrirvi la vacanza che cercavate!
We spend perfect holidays in this house nested in a very quiet area, a few minutes from Umbertide. The house is very confortable, well equiped and with a beautiful view. You can hardly see other houses around so it is very peaceful without any noise. The pool is very large and agreable, with a view toward the countryside.
It was easy to reach with the indications given by the owner and the house keeper was very helpful to discover the suroundings. We highly recomend this place.
