My family and I had a fantastic stay at Martin’s house. The house is even better than the pictures suggest. The house has plenty of space and the air conditioning works well in the bedrooms. We used the house as a base to explore Umbria and could not have enjoyed ourselves more. Martin was extremely responsive whenever we had a question about the house and kindly recommended places for us to visit. Perfect in every way.

Idyllic!
Villa Dolce Vita in Monte Castello di Vibio is everything (and more) that anyone might imagine for a "dream" Umbrian villa! With its gorgeous two acres of picture-perfect views, the many choices for sitting/reading/relaxing/dining (outdoors and in), the large pool and decks, and - especially - the amazing and attentive hospitality of owners Martin and Anna, our experience was beyond perfect. We were there for three weeks, hosting two groups of family and friends with many side trips to Umbrian and Tuscan towns along the way. Returning after our side trips always felt like coming back to a five-star home. We loved cooking in the large kitchen, and thoroughly enjoyed the meals prepared by both Thushari (who's also the villa housekeeper) and Judy. It was hard leaving and we're already talking about coming back next year. Idyllic!

Hidden Gem
Everything in this characteristic house is chosen with care and excellent taste. You will find style, peace, astonishing views of rolling hills with vineyards and cypress trees. There are plenty of seating areas to retreat to. We loved the sitting area under the romantic mulberry trees, looking down the green valley. The swimming pool is great for swimming laps, relaxing on the nice beds enjoying the late sun. The kitchen is very well equipped, we love to cook and we couldn't stop making Italian dishes. Dinner with our family until late on the terrace was atmospheric. We slept like princesses in the good beds and the bathrooms are amazing. Martin was more than fantastic. Very accurate in communication, very service-oriented, very personal and committed. Thank you Martin! If you are looking for a modern and classic high standard super holiday home with excellent guidance, book it now before its to late!

Even better than the photos!
The Villa is even better than the photos! Beautiful views, decor. Master BR and bath are fabulous! Lots of places to sit and relax outdoors. We stayed two weeks and are hoping to come back next year-the ultimate recommendation! Martin and Anna were so helpful-both were there to greet us at check-in and we found them delightful. Martin certainly deserves his Superhost rating-he was most responsive and helpful.
Thushari came every day except Sunday to clean and do our laundry. She also cooked for us every few days. We had Teodora, the masseuse, come one day. She does book up so plan ahead if you want her to come.
The only downside is the long unpaved road and steep driveway to get to the property. We had an all-wheel drive which we would definitely recommend. You have to cross a river with no bridge and the water level rose to a point where it was a little sketchy driving through the water. We were there the last two weeks of May during an unusually rainy period, so this should not be an issue during drier weather. The property is quite a long way from the motorway.
Note that one bedroom has a narrow double bed with a footboard, not suitable for tall people.
Because of the challenging road, we would do our excursions during the day, then stay in every night, which worked fine for us. We had a great time cooking in the very well-equipped kitchen.
All in all, we would recommend Villa Dolce Vita-once you get there, it is like a dream!

Picture perfect
After spending 2 1/2 weeks sightseeing Italy we were in need of some rest and relaxation. We could not have picked a better place. Martin was always available for any questions we had, he even meet us in town and drove us to the property as I had miss placed the directions. The villa is a dream, clean and stocked with more than you would expect. Although we spent a lot of time at the villa we did try some of the restaurants Martin suggested. All were beautiful and the best food we had in Italy. Day trips are easy from the villa as it is so central. We loved our week in the country.

Heavenly Stay in Umbria
We had a totally relaxing week here in this beautiful, spotlessly clean and comfortable villa (the master suite and bathroom is sumptuous). We were two families with 5 children and there was plenty of space especially outside with many hidden corners to relax in. The pool (which is down steep steps) is huge and has great pool sun beds and a 4 poster sun bed. The views are stunning and a great location although it’s a long trek up on a dirt road to get there - but well worth it! The lovely housekeeper cooked a delicious meal for us and was always on hand to help and the owner was so helpful on the run up to our stay with local advice and tips. Shame the air-con and pool heating was extra…would be better if these had been factored into the original price for a high-end villa. Thanks for a lovely stay - we would definitely recommend.

LOVELY stay at Monte Castello di Vibio
Our stay could not have been more wonderful! The house was spectacular along with the INCREDIBLE view.
We arrived a little early for check in and met Martin who was so welcoming. He gave us the whole run down/lay of the land shortly after we arrived. The house has everything you could possibly need. Martin was so responsive whenever we reached out. The location of the property was ideal for us as we took day trips to Orvieto, Spoleto, Perugia, Assisi and Todi. Each trip was no more than 45 minutes-an hour. The pool was the perfect reprieve at the end of each day as most days we were experiencing record heat!
I cannot say enough positive things about our stay. We had the most memorable vacation and this villa played a big part in that!!

The property is fantastic, nice, clean with rustic but great decoration! We spent over two weeks and we enjoy every single moment. We love the area and surroundings. Umbria is beautiful and we are so enthusiastic that will looking to purchase a similar property in a close town near Todi.
Highly recommended..

Great view and silence
My family and I spent a week at Villa Dolce Vita with two other families of friends. We absolutely loved the location, the breathtaking view of the hills and not a soul in sight just a curious fox. The house is fully equipped with the latest technology, Bluetooth speakers in most rooms and at the pool, Alexa, sky pay tv, Wi-Fi throughout the property, BBQ. Exceptional quality kitchenware, appliances and bed linen. It was clean. I would probably not recommend it for more than 10 people as the additional beds are quite small and definitely uncomfortable for an adult.
Martin was a kind and very helpful host. All in all a great holiday!

malersiche Umgebung
Wir verbrachten eine Woche mit Freunden und Kindern in diesem sehr idylischen Haus. Die Zufahrt ist ca. 10Min. über eine Naturstrasse.
In der näheren Umgebung hat es zwar ein paar Häuser, aber die sind zu weit entfernt, dass man etwas mitbekommen würde.
Wir genossen die Tage am Pool und die Abende auf der Veranda. Es hat viele schöne Plätze ums Haus, wo man morgens entspannt lesen oder Café trinken und am Abend ein Glas Wein geniessen kann. Die Aussicht auf den gegenüberliegenden Hang ist wie gemalt und ist vorallem in den Abendstunden sehr idylisch.
Die Küche ist top ausgerüstet und man findet alles was man braucht. Der amerikanische Kühlschrank ist sehr geräumig.
Die Badezimmer und Duschen sind auch sehr einladend, sauber und haben genügend Platz.
Wir haben die Woche sehr genossen. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt.
Besten Dank den Gastgebern auch für die schönen Tischlampen welche die Abendstimmung noch schöner machten.

Just like a "villa in Umbria" should be!
It may be even more beautiful than the pictures. Whatever comes to mind when you picture "villa in Umbria," this is it. Four gorgeous bedrooms, three with fabulous views and the fourth makes up for it with it's own sweet patio and huge bathroom. Large comfortable dining room and living room; well-equipt kitchen. Location close to the major towns of interest in Umbria.

breathtaking views, relaxing retreat
We returned from a lovely stay in Dolce Vita this summer. The views from the property are amazing and photos don’t do it justice. The house is spacious, clean and well-equipped. The property is also spacious and beautifully landscaped. The bedrooms are large and bathrooms well stocked. We were able to eat breakfast outside before having to retreat inside from the warm Umbrian summer, though we spent afternoons in the pool. Our daughter enjoyed photographing the bumblebees in the lavender while we sipped Prosecco and enjoyed the view.
The property is a long drive from the nearest town, up steep hills and across a creek bed so renters may want to consider their vehicle; an SUV might be a good idea. We recommend choosing a different village or two each day to visit and planning your activities around that. Most are about an hour away.
Umbrian restaurants tend to offer simple, but delicious, fare and you’ll want reservations almost anywhere. We can also highly recommend asking Judith to come cook for you. She was a delight and the dinners she cooked for us were a highlight of our stay. Also, Tushari stocked the kitchen with our requested foods before we arrived. Keep this treat in mind so you don't have to run out for groceries!

Heavenly
I can’t say enough wonderful things about this gorgeous hillside villa - it was perfect in just about every way for our little tribe of 4 adults and 4 kiddos. The villa has been beautifully renovated - honestly, I don’t think the pictures do it justice. We called this little slice of paradise home for a week in July and - once we got used to driving up and down the steep driveway - we didn’t want to leave!
We adventured to surrounding towns in the mornings, spent our afternoons lounging by the pool (which was the perfect antidote to the 100 degree July heat) and ate dinner outside on the covered porch every night. My favorite spot was the cabana that looks out over the valley, I tried to sneak out there every morning before the kids woke up to sit quietly with my coffee and soak in the view of the valley, which I like to imagine has changed very little over time. Olive groves, hay fields and rows upon rows of sunflowers accompanied by the gentle rumble of a tractor in the distance - it was beyond peaceful.
Anna was an excellent, responsive host equipped with all the house information and local recommendations we needed for a truly unforgettable week in Umbria.

オーナーについて
オーナー : Martin
We are a married couple who have made Italy our home for almost three decades, first in Rome and now in Milan. Villa Dolce Vita is where we exhale.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
It was love at first sight with Villa Dolce Vita. We had decided to buy a farmhouse in the Todi area, and knew as soon as we approached the house that this was the one. The location took our breath away, with its open views of checkerboard fields and stone farm houses across the valley. And the magnificent silence!
Once inside, we saw what the house COULD become, with love and commitment. We spent two years renovating it, and the house now truly reflects our tastes and passions.
この宿泊施設の特徴
Villa Dolce Vita is a stone farm house with an elegant soul. Everything about the house is designed to instill peace, and provide luxurious comfort. From the antique furnishings to the linens to the kitchenware, everything is of the finest quality linens.
