Neither the photos nor the description do justice to this house, which was more beautiful, peaceful and comfortable than we could have imagined. The view from the veranda offers rolling hills, vineyards, woods and an old village in the distance. The pool is a treat and surrounded by grit trees (the figs were delicious). The only sounds you hear are crickets, cicadas and the odd tractor. Inside, every room has its own bathroom so even large groups can have their privacy. The decor is simple and tasteful. The owner Marco, who has lots of local knowledge, is very helpful and available. We treated ourselves to a special Umbrian dinner cooked by the owner’s mother, which was kindly adjusted to fit our dietary needs. It was one of the highlights of our trip. We used the house to explore the areas and reached Assisi, Perugia, Spello and Montefalco with ease, though a car is essential.
