Generosa casa de piedra antigua en los viñedos del valle del Tíber

Het contact met Paolo en Cornelia is heel soepel in Engels en/ of Duits. Het is een oude boerderij. Het is niet super luxe, maar wel erg ruim en alles wat je nodig hebt is er. 6 slaapplaatsen en ook in servies en zitplaatsen is hier rekening mee gehouden. Er is een keuken met gasfornuis en oven en een overvloed aan kookgerij. Je zit niet in een super toeristische omgeving maar leert daardoor juist echt Italië en de Italianen kennen. In de omgeving is erg veel te zien, meren, dorpjes, een zwembad en Rome is een uurtje met de trein.

Wij hebben ons super vermaakt en geen moment verveeld. We zijn heerlijk tot rust gekomen!

Stayed at Cornelia and Paulo's house for 3 weeks during our summer holiday. The location is exactly as descibed. Large with 6 places to sleep. Finding the place was a little bit difficult, but once we knew it... it was easy (Except by night, than you sometimes missed the very small chalk road to the house).

Most of the time we spent outside to visit places. The place is about 15 minutes away from the nearest village [Castiglione in Teverina]. There you can do some shopping at the Simply Supermarket, and there is a swimming pool. Cheap, not very large but large enough for our kids to spent a lot of day's in the water. Very friendly people working there, and some speak english !!

In the same place we have eaten in the worst restaurant ever, "Ristorante Borgovejo". It was expensive, the starters were okay, but the main dish was terrible. We had 6 different main courses and all six where overcooked or burned black (even the pizza). This - for us - was a one time experience at this restaurant.

In about 30 minutes you can drive to Orvieto. We have done most shopping there, and it also has some better restaurants. From here you can enter the A1 [Toll Road].

When going to the south (Rome for example), your navigation will sent you to the right when leaving the chalk-road. If you have kids and don't like a lot of curves in the road, better go to the left and enter the A1 at Orvieto.

Cornelia and Paolo did give us advise and did everything to make our stay perfect. They provided us with homemade olive-oil and apricot-marmelade. Wow... both tasted good !!!

We also have some suggestions ;

Maybe an extra sitting-bench (like the green one) , 2 seats and a small table ? So you can sit inside together as a family.

The wifi is very poor (extremely slow). Maybe upgrade to 4G internet ?

Leave a note for your guests not to heat up water in the kitchen boiler at the same time using the washing machine. When the fuse blows also the refrigirator shuts down !

At last we really missed a decent shower. With five people taking a bath every day took a lot of time and was not always very easy. Also water is splashing over the floor and walls when using the shower of the bath. Escpecially the wall at the back of the hot and cold water tap gets wet. This is not good for the wall paint.

Although we have some suggestions we absolutely recommend this house !!

Cornelia and Paolo, thanks for the great time :) Great change we will come back !!

Gite spacieux et propre , simple mais avec beaucoup de gout et dans le respect de l'environnement architectural. L'extérieur est magnifique!! (et très important pour nous sans vis a vis ni voisin proche a part les propriétaires). Cornelia et Paolo se sont montrés très accueillants mais aussi très discrets. La campagne réserve beaucoup de beaux villages et de coin de nature (lacs..) et Rome est très accessible en train.

Erstmal vielen Dank an Paolo und Cornelia !!!

Wir wären gerne länger geblieben. Hier konnten wir mit einer sechsköpfigen Familie Erholung pur geniessen und lohnenswerte Ausflüge machen ( Rom, Orvieto, Bolsena, Montefiascone etc.). Wir würden sehr gerne wiederkommen. Liebe Grüsse an Cornelia und Paolo
