Our wonderful Italian holiday
After booking in 2019 covid had caused a couple of changes to our booking, Guido (villa manager) was very supportive and helped with all our changes which was greatly appreciated, Guido’s communication via email was great, he would get back to me within 24 hrs of any question I had.
2022 and finally our dream holiday was becoming a reality. We flew into Rome and hired a car (which is a must to travel and see the different areas of Umbria) it took us just under 2hrs to drive.
When we arrived to the villa we were blown away by the most incredible view. The villa itself was beautiful, large bedrooms, great entertaining space downstairs and a lovely patio dining area which we spent most of our evenings playing cards with a glass of wine :-)
The pool was perfect, and our kids loved every second, a lovely gentleman came to clean the pool 2/3 times a week which was also great!
Beautiful surroundings, there are the most amazing sunsets every evening which we would relax back and watch from the patio :-)
We saw porcupines, lizards, scorpions, deer right in the grassland by the villa, it was incredible!
The road is a bit bumpy on the drive up to the villa but after a few drives you get the hang of how to drive on that terrain ;-)
Tips on amazing places to visit locally, Orvieto was our favourite place (the cathedral at night is breathtaking) some beautiful places to visit and great gelato bars! Todi is also lovely very hilly!
Lake bolsena was a hit with the kids, they spent hours swimming in the lake with the most beautiful views, it was so warm like a bath.
A couple of adults visited marmore falls which was a bit too hot for the kids to walk around.
Montecchio has a lovely little village store where a gentleman sells his very own home made Olive oil which was delicious. Lots of local wines to try. All the locals were so friendly to us, Google translate became our best friend as many locals could not speak English. We loved this experience. If your looking for a holiday in an area not full of tourists Umbria is perfect.
This villa was perfect, where we made lots of special memories with our family! Thankyou Guido and your team for a great overall experience, highly recommended :-)
