A wonderful holiday stay
La Scarpaia is a delightful place to stay. Our hosts Laura and Adriano were all one could wish for - welcoming, friendly, and generous. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom house is all on one level, well-equipped, and has very comfortable beds. There is easy, secure parking and the house has its own private, shady gardens with lovely views, surrounded by cypress and olive trees. Laura and Adriano live in the nearby farmhouse and were always available if we had any questions or needed any help. The pool is beautifully located and although used by the family occasionally is mostly private. Always kept very clean, it is larger than most pools (12 metres) and excellent for exercise as well as relaxing and cooling off. The situation of La Scarpaia was, for us, perfect as it is set in quiet, beautiful countryside while being very close to all the places we wanted to be – Anghiari, Sansepolcro, Citerna, Monterchi, Citta di Castello (and for day-trips, it is also centrally situated for some of Italy’s greatest attractions – Arezzo, Siena, Florence, Urbino, Perugia, Assisi, Lake Trasimeno and many fascinating villages). As we well knew before going, the area also has some of the best and most affordable restaurants in Umbria/Tuscany, almost all of which have outside dining from May/June. We hope to be back next year and would like to thank Laura and Adriano and their family for their kindness and for a really wonderful holiday at La Scarpaia.
