"Some may call it extravagant to rent an 8 bedroom house for two people, but I call it brilliant. This place is wonderful for the obvious reasons: the view, the pool, the jacuzzi, the copious space, the charming home. But, the secret and most clutch amenity is named Alice. She has exquisite taste and knows everyone and everything surrounding the property. She helped us get to the best butcher, and arrange the tours that truly made our trip magical. Gotta della Pieve is tiny and charming and...

"Francesco couldn’t have been kinder. He gave us great recommendations of places to go, came every day to clean the pool and sweep the courtyard. The villa is a short and easy drive to Orvieto and lots of other pretty hilltop towns for coffee and pizza. Shops only 10 mins away for groceries. Tranquil and beautiful property."

"The owner met us to check us in, but returned that evening while we were eating. Having interrupted the meal he wanted 300euros in cash as a deposit. He said he'd return next day. However, by then we realised that the downstairs toilet and drains were blocked as were 2 of the upstairs showers. There was no hot water in some. On return he waived the deposit and over the next 2/3 days fixed the plumbing and boiler. The kitchen is not adequate for a large number of people. Equipment is extremely...

"We had a great time. The property is gorgeous- attention to detail and amenities are awesome. The location is perfect, close to many services and attractions - yet very private. We loved it!"

"We are in love with the house, grounds and the vintage decor. Easy to travel to other cities and towns."

"As others have said, even more lovely than photos. We were 8 couples aged 23-77 for a week with room for more. A real advantage is the en suite bathroom situation, albeit some bathrooms and showers roomier than others. Highlight is outdoor dining patio where we took all meals given the mild September weather. Chef cooked two yummy dinners for us. Also glad we ordered villa owner’s olive oil and red wine. Short drive to major Umbrian sights. However, we recommend you go for lunch in nearby...

"Villa Cerqualto was incredible. From driving up the scenic roads with immaculate views, to lounging by the refreshing pool, to watching the sunset with a glass of local wine, everything about our trip was idyllic. The villa itself is an authentic restoration that feels both historic and comfortable, designed and crafted with care in each and every room and in the beautiful surrounding gardens. The host, Stephanie, made all the difference in our trip — she was accommodating, welcoming,...

"We were a 3 generation family of 10. Overall very good, a lovely pool and a games room with table tennis and table football. Rome was reached by train from Terni. ( but check ticket prices as it varies enormously depending on the train) Lake Bolsena, Orvieto, Todi, Spoleto, Bagnoregio and Cascade del Marmore are all easily reached by car. Village pizzeria is excellent. We drove from Rome Fiumicino Airport, very easy using Autostrada. My family all enjoyed the soft river rafting near Marmore....

"This was the type of property we were looking for. This was a trip with my wife and me and our 4 adult children. We loved the location away from crowds but close enough to get to every where in Umbria for day trips. If you are traveling in the summer, just be aware there is no air conditioning. Probably not as big a deal if you aren't used to a/c as us spoiled Americans. But with temperatures near 100°F there isn't enough natural air flow through the house to cool it off. For that you will...

"Great place to stay while visiting the Umbrian valley. Peaceful, quiet and convenient for visiting surrounding hill towns. If you have the opportunity to have a meal prepared and served by the personal chef known to the villa owner you must do so, the meal was absolutely fabulous! One of the highlights of our trip."

"Great space for 4-8 people. Quiet and peaceful, but within 5-90 minutes drive to endless wonderful small villages."

"Couldn’t have asked for a better location or villa for our family trip to Umbria. We were a total of 9 with varying needs and our stay in Todi checked all the boxes. We loved exploring Todi (highly recommend dining at Enoteca Oberdan!), Assisi, and Civita. Some in our group also did a day trip to Rome via the Terri train station (approximately 35 minutes away). We enjoyed cooking in the well appointed kitchens and taking in the beautiful views of the Umbrian hills while we dined. Couldn’t have...

"A group of friends, on occasions there were up to 10 of us, have just enjoyed a great holiday in Gian Franco’s beautiful spacious villa; rustic in style the generous proportions make it ideal for a large group. It is in a glorious location high up on the hillside overlooking the fabulous Lake Bolsena; the evening breeze being particularly delightful. The location of this house in the surrounding rolling countryside and the views from the garden are simply wonderful. There are numerous...

"We had a tranquil week in the 3 bedroom villa. This VRBO can plan meals, tours and events for you if you choose. Any needs we had were promptly attended to by the staff. Our cooking class fun and the meals that the staff prepared were first class. Chef's kiss! The tours are superb. Highly recommend as an easy and efficient way to see central Italy. Citta della Pieve was a 20 minute walk and has great restaurants, stunning views and interesting history. Thank you for pampering us. This is not...

"This is a beautiful home in a lovely setting. The pool is a perfect size for a group of 4 and the property has a gorgeous view. We appreciated the fans in each bedroom for the warmer nights, but being a stone house, it was never too hot to sleep. We loved spending time outdoors and had most meals under the pergola. The caretakers were lovely, kind people who responded immediately when we had a question. The caretakers also brought a flyer advertising the festival taking place in the village...

"A wonderfully peaceful location. The estate is surrounded by stunning grounds and gracefully kept gardens. Peacocks, cats and 2 dogs live here in harmony and were gentle companions. The pool is wonderful and we managed to blend reading, swimming and relaxation with visits to local villages and Orvieto. Our host was helpful and friendly."

"Very clean; friendly staff; beautiful location"

"The property is amazing great view and large rooms. It is very romantic. You are away from the city and you can hear the birds."
