Centrally located Umbria's principal cities include Spoleto, Assisi, and Terni. The capital, Perugia, is famed for its chocolate. Take a tour bus or prepare for daredevil Italian drivers if you opt to rent a car. Assisi's Basilica has a host of treasures, including works by Giotto. The town is also home to the crypt of St. Clare, patron saint of television. St. Francis' meditation retreat is in the mountains to the north. Classes at Velia's Cooking Style in Terni make good use of local produce.

Country-chic B&B surrounded by the quiet Umbrian countryside, only 5km away from Assisi. This family-run B&B offers a panoramic swimming pool in a scented rose garden. The ex barn, recently renoved, has shabby chic furniture and free services as Wi-Fi, private parking, heating and air conditioning system. The cycle lane that connects Assisi to Spoleto is located only 700m away from the B&B.
Trip with family and a small baby. Excellent welcome, quiet area and very relaxing. Every detail is well taken care, inside, in the garden and in the pool area. Very important: net in all the windows.

We spent less than 24 hours at this place, it was okay, bed uncomfortable, no amenities ie we were told due to Covid no breakfast in bed and breakfast. Interesting there were open tins of ? Chocolate powder not sure how that factors re Covid. Like I indicated it was a place to sleep nothing more. Quiet. It was hot no AC but a fan would help. Linens need upgrading. Overall I would look elsewhere

We felt right at home from the minute we arrived. It’s idyllic. One of those places you want to keep a secret so it’s always available to you. ;) the rooms, beds, outdoor terrace - clean, comfortable and so inviting. I love that they hang dry the linens right there - hard to beat that fresh feel and scent. Francesca and her family were wonderful hosts. Her dad is happy to show you around his garden, fruit orchard and trout pond. We dined on site, had beverages under the gazebo and around the pool, and also took a pasta cooking lesson in the outdoor kitchen. Everything was fabulous and fun. There’s a mostly-pedestrian paved road out the back gate that takes you right up into Orvieto. It’s a climb, but it got us ready for the Amalfi Coast! And Francesca offers rides in her minivan for a minimal fee to/from the train station or the historic center. So convenient. I will be back with another small group in August. Truly looking forward to it!

We stayed for 6 days. Room had no wifi and beds were too hard. Still tape in the shower (left from painting...) Ended up having serious back pain after each night. Poor Italian breakfast. Cesare was very nice and gentle but other personnel not. Nice swimming pool and spectacular view. Would not go back

We had an amazing stay, lovely views, great food (make sure to book a table, it is a popular dining option for locals also), very friendly and helpful staff (owners?), nice pool area available all day. Breakfast had a great variety and was served in the cool of the main building, while the sun starts warming up the outside spaces. Thank you for 4 great days. Absolutely worth a visit.

Once upon a time...is a B&B emerged in the Umbrian green hills just in front of the ancient walls of Perugia and therefor the perfect starting point to visit the town!Our B&B is a typical rural Umbrian house built of bricks and beautiful roof tiles. A traditional Umbrian house joined with modern respect of nature, which for us is fundamental. We produce our own electricity with our photovoltaic implant which produces warm-water. A heat pump produces heating and also supplies us with energy for air-conditioning. This guaranties maximum comfort and restrains the consumption.To minimise any kind of impact on nature we have adapted recycling which abled us to achieve a "ecosostenibilità da Legambiente" mark, eco-sustainability from Legambiente (the most widespread environmental organisation in Italy, "association of environmental intrest")Our guests are welcomed to a family-based stay in a flat with an independent entrance on the first floor. We are more than pleased to give advice on what to visit and we gladly give indications to unknown artistic and culinary destinations in the territory.With love for tradition, such as ancient furniture, wooden beam and historical agricultural equipment, we have created our frame for the B&B.A big porch surrounds the B&B and guests are given the possibility to lay down in the hammock and listen to familiar sounds from the owl, the hoopoe, or if you are an early bird even hear the cock-crow.If you are more of a sporty person you can go for a walk in the forest, gather typical land products or simply just go for a bike-ride admiring the beautiful settings.
This place was perfect. The staff was friendly and very helpful. It is hard to park in Perugia so we went by cab which was not far and had a wonderful time. The views of the countryside are great. Food was good and Michaels father made us some sausage. What a great experience. I hope to return there. Thank you.
