This is such a wonderful house that we immediately felt at home in. Our communication with Dori right from the start was excellent. She answered the questions we asked prior to booking and was answered in a timely manner.If you are looking for a house that is cosy, in a beautiful part of Umbria and is very quiet, this is it.The garden has many lovely flowers, trees and shrubs. When we would sit outside all we could hear was the birds singing.The house is ideally situated to visit beautiful towns such as Todi, Montefalco, Perugia, Orvieto and Assisi to name but a few.If you are looking for a wonderful house to stay in Umbria, this is it!

This is our second time staying at this house: we loved it the first time, and this time were not disappointed. This is a truly beautiful house, in a heavenly location. The host is incredibly responsive and welcoming. The house has all the comforts you could desire, and we couldn't imagine how it could be any better.

Once a year

We spent 10 wonderful days with my family at the Ginestre. The house was very well equipped and you can notice how much of Dori’s heart and style she put in the creation of this peaceful and cosy place. The garden was perfectly kept, and the starry sky over our heads with the summer breeze turned the villa in a magical place, that I would like to live at least once a year.

This was a lovely property outside the walled city of Todi in Asproli. The property was newer, but had amazing old world charm. It is in a small enclave behind gates. The property has a lovely pool and tennis courts (we didn't use the tennis courts). There are other properties within the enclave, but all the occupants were quiet and we weren't disturbed at all. The inside of the property is more modern, with a Danish feel. It made for a nice mix of charm and modern conveniences. I had a bedroom on the second floor and there was a lovely terrace with a table and a couple of chairs. French doors opened onto it and I really got the feel of being in Umbria! There isn't any air conditioning except for on the sunporch at the back of the house. We didn't find that a problem, though, as the nights cooled down and there were lots of fans. The patio was perfect for sitting outside and enjoying the beautiful landscaping. We had dinner at home one night and several breakfasts. The kitchen was modern and well equipped. It is somewhat remote, so you'll absolutely need a car. We had a flat tire and could not get an Uber or a cab. The on site manager was incredibly helpful. He took my call and arranged for someone to drive us to Todi. It happened that it was my mother's birthday and we had reservations there. The next day, he came to the villa and helped my dad with translating with the tow truck driver. I highly recommend this beautiful property for your Umbrian vacay!!!

Erholsame Tage in Umbrien in einem tollen Haus

Das Haus ist Teil eines kleinen "Dorfes" mit ca. 12 Häusern. Das ganze Anwesen ist sehr gepflegt und wirklich schön! Das Haus selbst ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Die Küche ist super ausgestattet. Die drei Schlafzimmer sind wirklich gleichwertig und mit viel Schrankplatz ausgestattet. Alle Fenster und Türen haben Fliegengitter, so daß wir immer mit offenem Fenster schlafen konnten und auch nach heißen Tagen eine angenehme Kühle ins Haus kam. Die Terrasse ist überdacht: an heißen Tagen ein echter Segen und bei Regen konnten wir trotzdem draußen essen - toll! Der Pool ist super. Jedes Haus hat seine eigenen Liegen. Wir waren Anfang September hier und hatten daher den Pool meistens für uns allein - die Kinder waren kaum aus dem Wasser zu bekommen. Der Blick in die Hügel Umbriens ist wunderschön! Der Tennisplatz ist auch super - wir haben dort gerne morgens gespielt, bevor es zu heiß wurde. Ausflüge nach Todi, Assisi, Perugia und Orvieto sind von hier aus unkompliziert. Der EMI Supermercato in Todi ist zu empfehlen. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Mai più

Il secondo giorno di vacanza la proprietaria di casa ci ha comunicato via mail che la regola fondamentale del condominio (di cui non vi è alcuna menzione sull’annuncio) sarebbe quella di non poter fare alcun tipo di rumore (incluso ascoltare musica) dopo le 22 sia dentro casa che fuori al giardino, ragion per cui secondo la signora Dori la sera avremmo dovuto cenare in religioso silenzio chiusi dentro casa in una cucina di 15 mq con un giardino a disposizione di 500 mq: praticamente avevamo prenotato un ospizio per anziani senza saperlo. Ulteriore follia è che la signora Dori tramite il custode ci ha importunati continuamente chiedendoci di controllare alcuni gatti che vivono e circolano liberamente nel giardino di casa e che secondo lei dovevano essere tenuti lontani dai suoi divani a nostra cura! La signora Dori si e finanche permessa di mandarmi una mail (una delle tante che ho dovuto subire durante la vacanza) minacciando di addebitarmi costi ulteriori di pulizie perché il guardiano spiando all’interno della proprietà avrebbe visto i gatti sostare sul suo divano. In definitiva una vacanza rovinata da una proprietaria che non sa cosa siano l’educazione, l’ospitalità e la correttezza e da un guardiano che sarebbe opportuno ripassasse le norme sulla privacy per non rischiare una denuncia dai prossimi ospiti.

Thank you for taking the time to review my property and your stay. This allows me to set the record straight. Prior to every visit, our guests receive an information packet about the area and the house -- along with common sense rules about quiet hours. In it we request to avoid loud outdoor noises after 10 pm because we do have neighbors in nearby houses. Making a lot of noise outside till 1 or 2 am is unacceptable. I had complaints from neighbors, and I politely reminded you about the quiet hours. I truly thought that would be the end. But it was not. There was another noisy night. I have been renting out this house for 7 years and never experienced this with any other guest. All other guests appreciated the help and immediate advice from the caretaker. I am sorry you did not enjoy the positive parts of your stay, although I suspect that you did. Because everyone else does.

Wunderschönes, gepflegtes Ferienhaus in traumhafter Landschaft

Dieses Ferienhaus ist wunderschön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, es fehlt an nichts. Es steckt voller liebevoller Details und wir haben uns sofort wohlgefühlt. Die Ansprechperson vor Ort ist ein sehr netter Mann, an den man sich wenden kann, wenn man Fragen hat. Der Pool ist herrlich und hat einen traumhaften Blick. Die Terrasse und der riesige Garten sind sehr großzügig und laden zum Verweilen ein. Das Haus liegt auf dem Land, man fährt ca. 15 Minuten zu verschiedenen Geschäften in Todi / Ponterio, dort gibt es alles zu kaufen, auch 2 Apotheken. Todi ist wunderschön und es gibt tolle Restaurants. Wir sind ganz verliebt in Umbrien nach unserem Aufenthalt, jeder Ort ist auf seine Weise schön und es ist weniger touristisch als in der Toskana. Einziger Punkt, der mich überrascht hat, das liegt aber sicher an der KI er Website: es gibt nur im Wintergarten Klimananlage /AC, im restlichen Haus nicht. Mit Lüften und Ventilator kommt man aber gut zurecht und wir hatten teilweise 38 Grad. Da kommt der Pool genau richtig und der Schatten auf der Terrasse. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen in dieses schöne Haus! Vielen Dank an die Gastgeberin und Ihren freundlichen Verwalter!

Très bon matériel. Piscine très large avec des transats bien confortables. Nous avons adoré notre séjour.

A month in Umbria with friends. Four of us shared the Villa "Ginestre Due" in Asproli

Ginestre Due captures the spirit of the farming countryside in which it sits, perfectly. It is surrounded by a beautiful country garden and a well kept lawn. The villa is fitted out for comfort and has all items necessary to ensure ease of living. All of us were instantly relaxed by the beautifully appointed rooms and their outlooks. Should we be looking to re turn to Umbria we would most definitely stay here again. It was a little difficult to find and the roads in the general area are rough and winding. We would definitely recommend a GPS. Most all interesting sites are within an easy day out drive. We would highly recommend this property.

A lovely villa and pool with stunning views of the Umbrian countryside

A wonderful relaxing week's holiday this first week in August in a villa that had all that we were seeking and more. The weather was amazing - hot with blue skies interspersed every now and again with a brief thunderstorm to cool things down. The villa itself had a lovely ambience and was well furnished with washing machine, dishwasher, fridge, etc, fans in the bedrooms and aircon in the garden room area. The covered outside patio was a lovely area to sit at surrounded by a beautiful well maintained garden with BBQ and table and chairs for al fresco lunches or suppers. The pool area was only 20m or so from the house, well provided with sun umbrellas and recliners. The pool was large with stunning views across to the surrounding hills, and although shared, most of the time it was only with 2 or 3 people or no one else at all. The tennis court was an added bonus and a game or two in the late afternoon was a nice way to round the day off (rackets and balls were provided). We visited nearby Todi which was your typical ancient Umbrian town perched on top of a hill - only 15 to 20 minutes drive from the villa. Best to park at the bottom and use the free funicular up to the old town and palazzo. Lovely character, and stunning views across the surrounding countryside. Numerous restaurants and bistros either in the town or in the surrounding villages - good food and wine as one would expect. We flew into Rome Fiumicino airport - it takes 2.5 to 3 hours to get to Asproli depending on traffic and roadworks encountered along the way. All in all a holiday to remember much enjoyed by the family and would whole heartedly recommend this villa as a place to stay.

Lovely and comfortable villa in unspoiled Umbria

We very much enjoyed our stay at the villa near Todi. The house was comfortable and spacious enough for a family of four and the shared pool was great and never too busy to enjoy. The garden consisted of a large lawn and a beautiful flower border - privacy could have been a bit better had the separating hedge to the neighbours been fuller. The house is part of little tidy hamlet (Borgo) conveniently close to Todi (20 min drive) and we enjoyed the suggested places to eat nearby; in particular the pizza's at Rosa dei Venti in Fiore, which has a fantastic terrace to enjoy a meal and the sunset.

I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We are addressing the issue of the disappearing hedge. Due to last winter's snow and cold, I'm afraid it was too much for this hedge and therefore suffered along with other beautiful plants. Indeed, the pizza at Rosa dei Venti is the best!

Lovely private house in stunning location

Ginestre Due is exactly as described. It is well furnished and equipped, very private location with a shared pool at the end of the garden. The pool is not heavily utilised, we had it almost to ourselves most of the time. There is also a tennis court on site. It's an ideal place for a relaxing holiday in the Umbrian countryside. It's a 15 min drive to Todi, the nearest reasonably sized town, and Perugia, Orvieta and Assisi are an hour or so away, ideal for day trips. The house is ideally sized for 4-6 people, the outdoor covered area is particularly nice for eating or barbecues, or just sitting out, being sheltered from direct sun, but still in the open air. The onsite caretaker is never far away for any issues that arise, and the owner is very helpful and responsive, replying to emails within a couple of hours at the most. There is also a lot of useful information provided about activities, trips and so on in the surrounding area. We enjoyed it very much and would not hesitate to return again.

Idyllic!

The location and property itself were everything we had hoped for. The owner has thought of everything so the villa is excellently equipped and spotlessly maintained and clean. The area is stunning, peaceful and quiet. The pool area, too, was very clean and not over-crowded. We all had a wonderful stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the property, area and all concerned.

Beautiful house in the gorgeous Umbrian countryside

Our family loved the house, the furnishings and decor (great design!), the large pool, the expansive garden, and covered patio. The house is beautifully and functionally furnished, everything was very clean. The internet worked better than home, and the satellite tv was a plus. We would stay there again. 5 stars!

About the host

Hosted by Dori Phaff

Host profile image
We purchased this house fulfilling a 30-year dream of owning a house in Italy. We have travelled to Italy a lot as a family and always rented houses. Happily, we are moving toward retirement years and see this as a wonderful place to spend some months at a time -- it puts us closer to friends and family who live outside the US -- affording us the opportunity to host them in our home.

Why they chose this property

Because this property is in a gated community of only 12 houses, it is so very peaceful and looked after. There is a caretaker for all the properties who lives there and makes ownership so easy for us. No owners live full-time in this borgo (hamlet) and it is, therefore, peaceful and quiet. The house is located on a gorgeous hill with sweeping views and one heck of a garden. I take no credit for its beauty as the previous owner created this garden with olive trees (one of which is 350 years old), pomegranate trees and other ornamental and useful shrubs. The views from the balcony and the terrace are breathtaking.

What makes this property unique

I love the privacy our house and huge garden have within the borgo. It is safe and secure, being in a gated community. It is easy to drive to anywhere you want-- a short drive to many places. It is centrally located -- Rome 2 hours away and cities in Tuscany also not far and easily done in day trips. Todi is 15 minutes away: a fabulous little city with cafes, bars, restaurants and amazing views, Perugia (and its airport) and Orvieto are both 45 minutes. What I love most is that the house is centrally located, making so many places easily accessible.
