Really lovely
A charming, private rustico (country property), one of a small group of converted farm buildings surrounding a swimming pool, set in lovely grounds. The stylishly furnished house is spread over two levels, with plenty of privacy even though we were a party of seven. There is a well-equipped kitchen and shaded terrace where we ate most of our meals. Although I'm sure there are wonderful places to eat out in the vicinity, especially nearby Todi, we actually cooked for ourselves the whole week, using local ingredients including herbs from the garden a few steps from the kitchen. The whole set-up worked well for our multi-generational group. The house stayed cool in the heat (important these days!) and was airy at night. We even tried our luck on the tennis court. Todi beckoned for morning and evening visits: the short drive there past amazing views and castles of all sizes (!) was an outing in itself. Lovely Orvieto, Assisi and Perugia are within an hour or so's drive, but to be honest we only made it to Perugia so pleasant was the house! The caretaker Veejay was super useful when we needed him, and Barbara the owner was very generous with her communications and suggestions, including when one of our party found themselves marooned on the other side of Italy by a weather-induced airport closure. Altogether a fantastic choice, highly recommended. We'll be back.
