Il Berneto for your vacation with friends and family

In sum, Il Berneto was the absolute best rental property I have stayed at in Italy or rented with VRBO.Check-in was seamless - Martina was very communicative and upon arrival we had a thorough and fun tour from Angelino. The property exceeded expectations and was even more beautiful in person. The bedrooms (with AC) were perfect and there were plenty of bathrooms. We took advantage of the two kitchens as we were able to grocery shop at the family-run store down the road. Everyone was able to gather together and also have alone time in the various rooms, each with its own character and charm. The villa is so incredible you may not want to leave the grounds.The location was perfect for us as we wanted the ability to walk into town to get groceries or visit restaurants. We also took day trips to other towns, wineries and natural sites. It was a very easy drive from the FCO Airport and close to two train stations so we could do a day trip to Florence and also pick up guests coming in by train. A bonus was Martina's recommendations - she gave us wine shop recommendations (shout out to Umbrin Wine Shop who did the most incredible tasting for us at the villa), nail salons, wineries etc. Martina made sure we were able to do anything and everything we could think of (she arranged for chefs to come to the house for our final dinner).Thank you to Martina, her family, and Angelino for the incredible hospitality and and unforgettable stay. We will definitely be back.

Huge house, amazing location, great facilities, brilliant location to cafe/shops. Recommend the truffle hunting trip and the chefs who came to cook were exceptional. Excellent communication before and during and the house was excellent for our extended family (4 families, two with children). The swimming area was the best we’ve stayed at with plenty of sunbeds and lovely views.There isn’t really a main area to eat outside which has some shade, eg for dinner. There is a barn that is set back so comfortable for when raining, but if you want to eat outside by the view you have to carry the tables out and there isn’t anywhere with a little shade. A terrace would be a great addition.

This charming Italian Farmhouse was glorious. It perfectly accommodated our visiting family and friends. It was a great jumping off point for Florence and Rome. But the Umbrian countryside was not to be missed, including a trip to Assisi and Orvieto.Everything about the house was in good order. The villa was well stocked and very easy to live in. We were there for 25 days and found our time relaxing and fun.The seven bedrooms and bathrooms are spread between four floors. There was particular excitement about the bedroom at the very top where views are spectacular. The swimming pool was well used by our family and friends. It was serviced daily and always sparkling.The kitchen served us well!The small historic town of Monteleone d'Orvieto is absolutely lovely. We took almost daily walks down the long villa driveway and into town. Do not miss the painting by Perugino over the altar of the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul. Also, you must stop by the Umbria Like a Local shop. Between Il Berneto and the historic town are two fantastic restaurants. Baciamano, is a family friendly café. Seven Café is delicious upscale dining. Both are open for lunch and dinner. At Baciamano you can also grab a morning cappuccino. As well, there is Caffe Latte, a gelateria and coffee shop, and a small grocery market.You will definitely need a car. But driving in this area of Italy was easy. Martina and her family were welcoming and treated us like friends. Do not miss out on Il Berneto!

The greatest advantage that this place has is the view from the garden and the large swimming pool looking the view. It is amazing!!!! Otherwise other wonderful aspects about Il Berneto is the size of the house with many bedrooms, easy walk to gelato shop & cafe, restaurants & the yearly village festival in 2nd week of August. Il Berneto is fantastic place for a large gathering of family and friends with numerous number of bedrooms & bathrooms, different living spaces & 2 kitchens. Family room with bunk beds can sleep up to 6 persons, another bunk bed room sleeps 4 persons. Other rooms are double beds and all rooms with air con. Martina and Angelino were wonderful and responsive to our requests very quickly, if anything was missing. Delightful to wake up in the morning to see new swim floats that Angelino had organised for us. 5 stars for Il Berneto, we will be coming back!!

Very enjoyable stay for all the family of 13. Lots of facilities indoors and outside. Supermarket and cafe at end of drive are very convenient. The pool has a deep end with diving board and a large shallow end.

We had a wonderful week at Il Berneto. Located close to a beautiful and picturesque medieval town with a gelateria, a coffee bar and the fabulous Seven Cafe just a short walk away, the property is a serene escape with beautiful vistas. The house is large and easily accommodated our extended family of 10. There are lots of play spaces, a foosball and ping-pong table, a garden with easily accessible fresh produce, and a fabulous, refreshing pool. Angelino is the very helpful groundskeeper, and Martina is the very helpful and responsive owner. She recommended Natalina who prepared a delicious celebratory dinner on our last night, and led us in a pasta making evening early in our stay. Martina told us about several festivities in Monteleone which we enjoyed very much. The house is located conveniently for day trips to Orvieto, Perugia, Assisi and the delightful Città di Pieve (which is very close by). It was a wonderful week, and one we will never forget.

We were hosted with generosity and friendly greeting. Every aspect of privacy and comfort were available for us, from infant to grandparents. It was a dream!

Centrally located between Umbria and Tuscany, this property is perfect for those interested in experiencing everything these two regions have to offer. The check-in process was seamless, and the property manager was always in touch via text to ensure our well-being. As a family of eight, we found everything we needed readily available, and the additional supplies provided were a welcome touch. Don't forget to make reservations at 7 Restaurant, located just a quarter mile down the road from the house. It offers an unforgettable dining experience. We also highly recommend booking their truffle hunting tour. Lastly, there is a supermarket conveniently located just down the driveway, making it easy to access any essentials. Our overall experience was fantastic, and we created many cherished memories during our stay here.

My family of 14 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Il Berneto and were so sad to leave! Martina, the homeowner, was very communicative from before our arrival, when checking in, & during our stay. She let us know about some festivities that happened to be taking place in town the week we were there & in which we were happy to participate. She also was very helpful in arranging for Natalia to cook some Umbrian meals a few days for us. Natalia was just wonderful & her cooking was delicious! We were greeted by Angelino upon our arrival, who gave us a tour of the property and showed us where everything was: pool, pizza oven, grill, toys, etc. He also returned each morning to clean the pool and makes sure the grounds were ready for our use. The house was well stocked, big enough to accommodate all of us comfortably, and there were plenty of rooms for all of us to feel like we had privacy but also have quiet time if we wanted. We hope to be able to return to Il Berneto again soon and ideally keep coming back! If you are lucky enough to stay here, you will be sure to have a magical a time as we did! Grazie Mille, Martina, Natalia, & Angelino!

Our family came from various parts of the US to Il Berneto to celebrate my husband's 80th birthday. We were 10 from a6 years to 80) adults and 8 children (from 4-13). It was very hot in Italy but the fabulous swimming pool at the farmhouse cooled everyone off - morning, noon and night. We all played in the pool for many hours each day and the little ones learned to swim and dive. We walked to CafeLatte for coffee, gelato and wine and to Conad for groceries. The Seven Cafe is a magnificent restaurant. We had many lunches and dinners there. We took day trips to all the hill towns and went to Citta Della Pieve for shopping and more gelato and more fabulous restaurants. Martina was a great communicator before and during our stay. She found a magnificent woman to cook a few meals for us which were beyond amazing. At night, we played volleyball, board and card games. It was so easy to interact with everyone in the house and outside. We had a truly magical time. A Dream Trip. An experience of a lifetime.
