Family Country House with garden and swimmingpool

We have had the most perfect holiday! We feel honoured to have had the opportunity to meet Massimiliano and his family. The property pictures on the VRBO site don't do it justice.The property is spacious and very well equipped.The family live next door and we're always happy to help though we only ever saw them in passing on the drive.The pool had a great mix of furniture for the sun lovers and plenty comfortable seating areas for those that prefer the shade.Todi was a short drive away with some fabulous restaurants and cafes. We had hoped to be able to walk into town but found that it wasn't suitable after dark. But it was actually perfect coming back and sitting around the pool in the evening with the local wines.We would highly recommend a visit

The holiday home's location is incredible. A perfect holiday for everyone, whether with a dog or children. From the pool, the facilities to the great town of Todi. We were able to enjoy our privacy even though Massimiliano and Cristina lived in the adjacent house. Thanks to both of you Hummel family

Clarification for future guests: this is essentially an in-laws' apartment attached to the owner's main house. You share gated entry to property, grill in driveway, and pool area with owners, who by and large keep to themselves (we rarely saw them). As of this writing there is one air conditioning unit, upstairs in the living/kitchen area. The two bedrooms downstairs were stuffy in the extreme heat, so the four of us purchased fans to up the comfort factor. Again, as of this writing, WiFi connection is actually in main house and as such is unreliable. Do not plan to use in entire apartment or stream/download. Kitchen is adequate, but small--really only room for one person to cook. We had trouble with the oven temperature. The host was extremely communicative, friendly and kind. They have two cats and a dog whom you may occasionally encounter outside. The outdoor space here ultimately wins the day; the pool is just lovely, perfectly maintained with minimal chemicals, and boasts a view of the Todi countryside. The patio attached to the apartment has a large table that allows for outdoor dining in full shade overlooking a yard filled with flowers, plants and olive trees, and there's a patio on the pool deck as well equipped with power and a bluetooth speaker plus chairs, table, hammock. We even watched the annual hot air balloon festival launch from a field nearby. Washing machine and dishwasher worked well, and the apartment was spotlessly clean. Overall I do recommend, especially for two people who will make liberal use of the outdoors when it's not oppressively hot.

We moved to this house after 2 days in really dreadful accommodation, and the owner was really quick and helpful is sorting out our stay. The house is lovely - the photos don't fully do it justice. It's modern, clean and had every-thing we needed, with lots of small but carefully thought out touches such as candles for outside, beer in the fridge, soap and plenty of towels. Although it's adjacent to the owners house it still felt very private and we didn't notice the owners were there, although it was really helpful when we had questions. The covered outside terrace with countryside views was a real bonus; we ate most of our meals there or just enjoyed the quiet. And the pool is fantastic, with a large shaded seating area and a fridge for cold drinks. Todi is a beautiful town with lots of character, lovely to just walk round and great restaurants, and a good location for trips to Rome and Florence. We would definitely go back to this house, and would not hesitate to recommend it.

Amenities: We felt that more storage space would be useful in the kitchen. All other aspects were very satisfactory. WE had a warm welcome and Massimiliano and Cristina were very friendly and helpful.
