Charming Medieval Townhouse with Breathtaking Views in the historic centre Todi

Our two week stay was unforgettable. The accommodations, the location were perfect. Carlo was very supportive and available. Be in shape, lots of stairs in Todi. Thank you Carlo! ♥️

We loved our stay in Todi! Carlo is an excellent host who takes pride in both his apartment and his city. The apartment was very nice; it had so much character and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. I would highly recommend staying here if you would like to explore Todi and the surrounding area!

10 day stay in June. Our 5th stay in Todi. The town is lovely as long as you enjoy hiking up and down steep streets. Many nearby places to explore. Carlos was the perfect host. We especially appreciated him helping with our luggage since our car was parked away from the rental.

If you are looking at the description of this apartment and wondering if it can possibly be as wonderful as it appears, the answer is a definite YES. This was a perfect home base for our week in Umbria in early May. Todi is one of the loveliest towns we visited in Umbria. The location of the apartment, an easy walk from public parking, was so convenient. The layout and decor of the apartment, on two floors, is delightful, with a light and airy feeling. Carlo has carefully provided everything to make staying here a pleasure. The bed is comfortable, the kitchen is charming, and I cannot even begin to adequately describe the amazing views from every room and especially from the balcony/terrace off the dining room. Coming home to this apartment each day was such a treat. Carlo was a perfect host. He handled arrival and departure seamlessly, at our convenience, welcomed us warmly and gave us a personal and information-packed introduction to the beautiful town of Todi. We hope to return in the future, and we would definitely stay here any time we're traveling in the area. Grazie mille, Carlo!

This beautiful townhouse is in a very old building on a quiet street in Todi, which is a perfect base for exploring Umbria. Carlo has renovated and decorated the apartment impeccably. It has much more space than we expected: two bedrooms, a formal salon with historical furniture, and a bathroom on one level, and a modern living room, dining room, large kitchen, half bath, and balcony on another level. The balcony does indeed have breathtaking views of church bells, rooftops, and the countryside beneath Todi. The main bed has a new and very comfortable mattress. The kitchen is well appointed, including a washing machine, and can accommodate full meals. The best feature is Carlo, who is enthusiastic, welcoming, and a gold mine of suggestions, maps, and guides. Highly recommended.

This apartment was amazing! It is HUGE, on two floors (with a bathroom on each floor), clean and full of art. The view from the terrace was mesmerizing, day and night. Todi is a uniquely beautiful hill town in the heart of Umbria, making this a good base for day tripping. Parking is not available at the apartment and there is a quite a hill walk between where you have to find a parking spot and the apartment but once you sit on the terrace you forget all about the climb.

We absolutely loved staying in Carlo's apartment in Todi. The view is unbelievable (almost every window has an incredible view). We spent a lot of time on the balcony relaxing at the end of each day. Carlo is a perfect host. He really goes out of his way to make sure you are happy and comfortable in his home. When we booked the apartment, we thought that it might be too big since it is just for two of us. We never regretted our decision. It was such a treat to have some extra room to relax in. The location is perfect. We visited several of the medieval hill top towns in the region during our five night stay and we agreed that Todi is our favorite. So charming and a central location to so much to see and do in the area. We walked everywhere in Todi. There was no need for us to use our car once we returned from our many day trips. The highlight of our trip was a cooking class with La Lingua La Vita school. If you are looking for an authentic experience with an Italian family, we highly recommend doing this.

What a wonderful, spacious and well-decorated two-story villa in the heart of Todi. My wife and I enjoyed sunsets looking over the Umbrian hillside from La Gardenia!s balcony after exploring Todi and the surrounding Umbrian towns. Carlo, the owner, is a warm and knowledgeable host who made us feel like family. Todi is a great town to use as a base to see Umbria and Tuscany, and La Gardenia is the perfect place to stay. We can't wait to return.

We had a GREAT stay at this lovely Todi townhouse. The town is enchanting, the home is lovely and well-maintained, and Carlo is a fantastic host. Between Todi's hilly terrain and the stairs in the building, our legs got quite a workout (consider yourself warned if climbing is a problem for you) but, other than that, everything was easy. We loved the marble floors, the comfy bed, the spacious kitchen and dining area, and the tiny but charming balcony where we spent many a morning sipping coffee and admiring the view. We'll definitely be back!

My husband and I stayed at the apartment in mid November 2016. As you can see from the other reviews, this apartment is a wonderful place. Todi is a beautiful Medieval labyrinth and you feel as though you are living inside a fairy tale. The apartment is located on two floors. Below are 2 bedrooms (1 queen, 1 single), a full bath, as well as an amazing room filled with Carlo's family antique furniture and paintings. Upstairs is a another room which can be used as a bedroom, a living room, dining room, kitchen, and half bath. The 3rd floor also has an amazing balcony facing south overlooking the hills of Umbria. The view actually brought tears to my eyes. From there, you can see sunrise and sunset. The apartment is clean, comfortable, the beds are comfortable, the towels are plentiful and plush, the kitchen is charming and utilitarian, but most importantly, it is actually a home with interesting art and books. For us, the best part of renting the apartment was Carlo. Carlo is a talented photographer and his work hangs in the apartment. He is also a wonderful host. He keeps a book with all of his suggestions for restaurants, coffee, shops, and outings. He has travel books for use, and many maps for your use. Todi is centrally located to many other towns. With Carlo's help we could suggest an itinerary of Assisi one day, a second day to Civita Bagnorigio and Orvieto, and a third day to Bagnava, Spello and Montefalco (this direction has amazing rural landscapes of olive groves and vineyards). Carlo also suggested a cooking class at the School of Italian Language and Culture in Todi. You can contact them directly and they will make arrangements. The class was in a family's home in Todi, and it was a highlight of our trip. Umbria is amazing, Todi is amazing and the apartment is amazing. I have used VRBO and similar sites for many years, and I can give this apartment my highest recommendation. Thank you Carlo. We hope we can host you when you come to NY !
