Fantastic hideaway in the Umbrian hills
We stayed at Villa Costa Piccola for a week at the end of July 2023 and we had an amazing time. The villa is hidden away in the Umbrian hills about a 20-25 min drive from the centre of of Umbertide with the last leg on quite a steep (up and down) dirt track.
The villa itself is nestled in amongst the trees that adorn the hill- totally private from everyone. There is one more villa further along the track but we heard nothing and no one for the entire week which is exactly what we were after.
The villa has 3 proper bedrooms, all with en-suite- 2 with a shower and one with a bath with hand-held shower. The fourth bedroom is on the mezzanine which sits above the living room and kitchen and has no bathroom. The only gripe is that the air conditioning is not in any of the bedrooms which made it quite uncomfortable on the very hot days…some fans might have helped but there were none in the house.
The pool area is fantastic with views through the trees across the valley. Sun hits the pool from early morning to gone 6pm- we spent hours lounging here.
The kitchen is relatively well equipped and suited our needs for four people- no issues there.
Overall we had a lively time here. We had a week of very hot weather and enjoyed the pool and the constant buzz of the cicadas- the only noise you’d hear all day, everyday. I’d really recommend this place if you’re after private and secluded time away….we loved it.
