A Very Special Stay
Our family group of 10: 2 generations (6 adults ~60 and 4 adults ~30) had a wonderful, special time at Villa Gioianna in late May, 2016. The villa is an older property with its quirks and charms (if you want a slick new place this is probably not for you) but for us, the historic feel of the house was part of its appeal.
The house has a very open feel inside. The dining room had delightful painted details, the hobbit door to the ½ bath is a kick, and we loved having a baby grand piano for house music. It can be a bit dark when rain storms come, but they usually pass quickly and we enjoyed the grounds so much.
Special experiences at the villa:
**Breakfast outside on the terrace gazing across the neighboring vineyards
**Sitting by the pool reading, and then ducking under one of the vine covered arbors to read in the rain.
**A music night singing around the baby grand piano
**Meals at our favorite lovely restaurant in nearby, La Cantina, with its outdoor terrace with flowers, in Casteglione del Lago.
**A dinner prepared by the neighborhood nonna; after the first, we arranged a second night as well.
**The special dinner in the vineyards Anna told us about and took us to.
**For some, a visit to hot springs that, again, Anna told us about.
**Wine tasting and horseback riding that, again, Anna told us about.
**A visit to Orvieto with its stunning Cathedral frescos.
**Hiking from the door of the villa into the lovely countryside.
Planning notes:
**Ask Anna for directions before coming, especially if you will be arriving after dark.
**The four bedrooms on the lower floor have big, high windows with views; the four bedrooms on the top floor have low, sloping ceilings with small low windows. Our older generation used the large rooms and the younger generation stayed upstairs in the low ceiling rooms. All the rooms have charming details.
Anna was repeatedly a great help to us and clearly enjoys introducing visitors to the delights of Umbria, especially experiences only the locals know of. She has a very special house in Villa Gioianna.
