July 2022Beautiful Umbrian Hilltop House
We had a fabulous family reunion at this lovingly restored house. The property manager Guido did a fantastic job, by preparing the home for us and supplying us with the coordinates; there was no street address per se, but thanks to Google Maps it was relatively easy to find. Guido continued to help us throughout our stay by making reservations for restaurant meals and local wine tastings. The pallazone was beautifully appointed. We prepared numerous family dinners in the modern kitchen, and enjoyed the large BBQ on the patio. The bedrooms and baths were great, but one of best features of the property was the swimming pool! Everyone loved it. The water temperature was perfect, and the view of the Umbrian countryside was unsurpassed. We made several day trips to places like Assisi, Perugia and Todi. It was great to get to know a previously unexplored part of beautiful Italy. Bravo!”

May 2022Overdelivered!
Our group had a fantastic stay at this fabulous house -- the pictures & description don't do it justice. Location felt more remote at arrival than it turned out to be for our daily excursions and it was a genuine retreat to return to at the end of every outing. Guido was extremely responsive before & throughout our stay despite being down & out from COVID -- Mille Grazie!”

May 2022Beautiful Setting
Had a wonderful stay at Podere, greeted by Guido on our arrival who was amazing and so helpful in making our plan for the week. The homes beautifully appointed with several lovely spots to take in the magnificent views. You will definitely be doing some driving if you want to take in all that Umbria has to offer but it’s well worth it !! ”
