House with garden in a stone farmhouse

The room may be suited for a couple with two young children, but not for 4 adults. A small room with bunk bed is not a sleeping room for adults. The alternativ to use the couch in the kitchen/living room is no alternative too.

It was a beautiful apartment within a gorgeous country house. Everything we needed ++! Luigi was a fantastic host and a great communicator. Unforgettable time???

My family and I had a great stay here. Absolutely stunning views from the outside seating area and kids loved the pool. Luigi very helpful, easy to contact and showed us the way to the house on arrival which was much appreciated. It was very hot whilst we were there but once we got the airflow going through the house and the fans on we got used to it. There is lots to do in the area -biking and swimming and easy drives to lots of scenic Hill towns.

Vrbo makes the rental process super easy. Luigi provided excellent communication and care. He met us in Gioiella, a small town near the house, to take us the rest of the way so we would not get lost, and had even offered to pick up our friends at the Castiglione del Lagos train station. Do be aware that the second bedroom is very small with a set of bunk beds, of which the top is not suitable for an adult. There is a full out sofa as well with a full sized bed. The two bathrooms were wonderful and more than adequate. There is a washer, but no dryer (which is not uncommon - line drying clothes is still very much practiced in Tuscany, so give your self ample time for things to air dry. The house was well stocked with everything you need to make meals there. Grocery stores are near by in Gioiella or Castiglione del Lagos. Simply beautiful location. The views were breathtaking. A fantastic experience. We will definitely return.

The location of this house is absolutely perfect in every way. The view was stunning with miles of countryside and rolling hills. The house was perfect for me and my mother and father to stay together with enough room and privacy for all. Gino, our host, was the sweetest man. I loved receiving messages from him each morning with information about the day and places to visit. He was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. He has another home down south near Pompeii and I would like to visit there next time I travel back to Italy. Everything was perfect and I am so grateful to him for providing such a wonderful experience for me and my family! Grazie mille!!!

We found our vacation home in a very good condition. Very friendly and help full host Gino was awaiting us. We had everything we needed in a very quiet surrounding. Bed was very comfortable! Kitchen and bathroom was very well equipped. We very much recommend this accommodation!

A lovely stay with beautiful views and a great swimming pool. Very well equipped kitchen, so we had nice dinners. The host was very helpful.

Gino is a wonderful, very nice and above all attentive host. We were already in contact before the start of the holiday and the keys were therefore handed over without any complications. Arrived at the holiday home we were first impressed by the magnificent view, the fantastic pool - which we were allowed to use almost the whole time for ourselves - as well as the absolutely wonderful holiday accommodation. The domicile is absolutely just as pretty and lovingly furnished as on the pictures shown. Gino had very helpful tips for excursions from the beginning and was always available for us. The time in Castiglione del Lago was terrific and we were very that we have to leave after seven days. We can only thank Gino for the incredible time in Bella Italia as well as the great stay in this beautiful property. So: Thank you Gino!

It was the most amazing experience to rent this place from the first communication weeks before our arrival to our departure. The place is stunning and so peaceful. The pool is perfect and in general the surroundings are fantastic, We stayed a family of four and had the best time. Would love to come back.

On short notice, our plans to stay in Rome did not go through and we found this lovely place in the Umbria countryside. We met Gino in the little town of Gioialla and we followed him to the property. He helped us get settled, answered as best he could in broken English, all of our questions. and made sure we had his number in case we needed anything. There are four, possibly five apartments in this farmhouse complex. Most of the neighbors in the building are local Italians who come for the weekends in the summer to swim in the beautiful pool. Everyone was very friendly, but conversing was difficult as no one spoke English and we did not speak Italian. The nearby town of Castiglione de Lago was the real draw. The lake is beautiful, the setting is quiet, and there are boat rides and other touristy things to do. We also made day trips to Orvieto, Spoleto, Cortona, and Multepulciano. All in all, a very lovely experience. A couple of things to note: 1) you really have to have a car to get around because you are definitely out in the countryside; 2) Bring bug spray because you are definitely out in the countryside. One other important thing to note...the website listed Donatella as the owner and host. However, our communication was always with someone other than Donatella and I'm not sure Donatella is actually a person. No matter. It's a lovely place with two bedrooms, two baths, and a serviceable kitchen.

Our 4 night stay here was the highlight of our 2 week trip in Italy. This place is a Jewel (located just outside of Gioiella). I cannot imagine a more beautiful site from which to sit in the evening and look out over the wheat fields waving in the breeze watching the sunset. Our host was amazing. Very gracious and responsive. The apartment (part of a larger house, but with its own entrances and feels very private) was very comfortable. It has a washer, full kitchen, refrigerator, two bedrooms and two full baths and a living area. But the star for us was the outdoor covered patio complete with couches and table situated by a beautiful flower garden. We sat out there every evening well past sunset. We were there in June and there was a nice breeze every afternoon and evening. There also was a pool, which we could have used, but didn't because we were also very active visiting the nearby Tuscan and Umbrian towns, such as Montepulciano, Pienze, Castiglione del Lago (on Lake Trasimeno) and even further afield (but still only just over an hour away) Assisi, etc. We loved this location and would definitely come back here if we have the good fortune of another Italian vacation.
