Very nice stay in charming villa overlooking the hills. True to pictures - nice! Very nice host and the house was well equipped. Be aware of heat vs. no A/C though - especially top sleeping room.
Absolutely recommendable!

Buying a house in Umbria was the nearest thing to stepping back to the countryside of my childhood. The spring and summer months are very beautiful with the fire flies appearing in early June. The rest of the year brings its own specialness. Everything is easily accessible from where the house is situated and at the same time there is an element of seclusion. A perfect combination. The luxury of the villa set in the unspoilt countryside all around and the birds in the canopy of the woods near by, singing their hearts out make the experience unforgettable. Everyone comments on the beautiful garden saying the photos dont do it justice. The area round the swimming pool where grape vines are loaded with fruit and flowers spill from terracotta pots at the edge of the sparkling water is a lovely place to be. The moment you arrive you can start the relaxation process; a dip in the pool with a glass of chilled prosecco before a sumptuous dinner overlooking the valley with the distant lights of Monte Santa Maria twinkling in the sky above and the sounds of un-spoilt Umbria around you. Monterchi is so near to enable guests to nip out for dinner along the deserted road that leads there.

Guests benefit from the element of luxury and attention to detail which makes this villa stand out. Relishing the beautiful soap, tasteful decor, art work and hand made top quality mattresses, all help make visitors feel good. There are travertine work surfaces in the kitchen and a champagne bucket for celebrations. Fabrics sourced in Florence and Arezzo, keeping the atmosphere of the villa Italian throughout. There are several herbs that grow in the garden (rosemary, sage, bay and thyme) for use in cooking delicious food in the slick Italian country kitchen. Sometimes zucchini are also ripe and ready to gather from the kitchen garden.
