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!

Beautiful villa in a beautiful spot
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!

Idyllic home and setting
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.

Excellent house
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

Dreamy location for a family vacation
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.

Highly recommended
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.

I now know what Paradise looks like
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.

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

Splendide
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.

Wonderful property, owner and team!
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.

Umbertide
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.

オーナーについて
オーナー : Valeria Ciancarelli
I am an architect, following in the footsteps of my father, who was also an architect and the visionary behind the restoration of this estate. Podere Gnani is not just a rental property; it is our cherished family home. We spend our own holidays here, and my daughters have grown up playing in these very gardens. I enjoy hosting because it allows me to share the soul of this place—a project of love and design—with guests who appreciate authenticity, history, and the quiet beauty of the Umbrian countryside.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
The scene at Podere Gnani is one of absolute primordial peace. Because we are far from urban light pollution, the night sky is a breathtaking theater where the Milky Way and constellations shine with incredible clarity. My favorite moment of the year is June: under the ancient oak tree near the swing, hundreds of fireflies illuminate the darkness—a magical sight that only exists in such pure, unpolluted environments. It is also a place where nature feels close; it is quite common to spot deer or hares wandering peacefully through the valley.
この宿泊施設の特徴
What truly sets this villa apart is its architectural integrity and its personal history. Every corner was designed with an architect’s eye for detail, respecting the 18th-century structure while ensuring modern comfort. Unlike many commercial rentals, every piece of furniture and every object is an original family heirloom, passed down through generations. This is a home with a 'memory.' When you stay here, you aren't just visiting a house; you are stepping into a family heritage, surrounded by the same woods and stones that have remained unchanged for centuries.
