Sobre aquest allotjament

Citta Di Castello, inter-gen family occasions, staycations, parking, sustainable

  • Dating from the 12C, this borgo is perched at 700m looking down into the Niccone Valley and onto The Reschio Estate. The main house has 7 double bedrooms, 2 drawing rooms, open fire places, a large dining room and fantastic views. The borgo (collection of farmhouses) has a dedicated pool (open from June to Sept), a stand alone - non-consecrated chapel - and an old grotto where Saint Donino is said to have contemplated life.

    This house has soul, is very old and been renovated to honor its past as well as adding in some of today's comforts - private pool, wifi etc. Close to Citta di Castello, Assisi and other historic towns, it provides a great location with true peacefulness. Great for the summer, but also in spring and autumn - where the colours and light are fantastic.

    Significant time has been placed into retrofitting solutions to take the property's impact to minimal. Solar water, photovoltaic, batteries etc are in place. No fertilisers, herbicides and or sprays are used on the land.

    There is a substantial veg garden - with orchards.

    Water is used from a lake (garden) and from a well (house), and as much minimization procedures have been put in place as possible, so this is not a property of green lawns in the summer.

    Lastly, the map on this site showing the house location is slightly inaccurate. The house should be between San Leo Bastia and Lisciano Niccone - and on the Umbrian-Tuscan border.

Gorgeous location, but not easily accessible. Lots of room, but, in cooler weather, difficult to utilize all the spaces. We loved Uwe, the caretaker, who bent over backwards to help us with everything. Maybe a summer trip would be a better choice .

Good Stay

The house is really nice and well organize. The view is incredible on all the region. One or two points need to be improved. The outside table on the terrasse is only with 6 chairs and the house is for 16 people. The kitchen is the only room where you may make some renovation. And last point to improve, need to explain that the water is only dricable in the kitchen !! For all the reste the house is incredible and the person living next to the house, really helpfull. Imporant to know that the house is far from everything, in the nature, but need to take you car for everything. Again great relaxing stay.

Beauty, History and Serenity in the Umbrian Hills

Our party of 10 thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this historic, beautiful and roomy villa near Citta di Castello. 7 bedrooms, and a total of 10 beds along with 3 baths gave us all plenty of privacy with room to spread out, yet still allowed us to spend time together as a group. We usually dined inside, but the table on the terrace was a great place for a meal, morning coffee, or just a place to take in the absolutely beautiful views of the valley, villas, tobacco fields and castle almost 2,000 feet below (600+ meters). The views cannot be accurately represented in photos - none can do them justice - they are spectacular. The owner checked in to make sure we arrived and also followed up to see that our stay was what we expected. There is an on-site caretaker (Uwe), who was a tremendous help and pleasure to have access to. Unobtrusive yet always available to help with train schedules, and to address minor needs or questions, regardless of the time of day or night. We hired a chef (Daniela) to come in and cook 7 meals for us with a few days left open for us to have dinner out on our longer day trips. This was a great decision and recommended as the nearest restaurants are at least 30 minutes away. We had many leftovers for lunches the following day. Hiring Daniela gave us so much extra time and probably did not cost more than eating out. The home is rustic but renovated well and comfortable despite no AC. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Umbria!

Good times at Citta di Castello..

We had a pleasant stay at Williams house in Citta di Castello. The house is big enough to accomodate a huge group of people - we were 10 adults, but 4 more wouldn't have been a problem. The kitchen is big and well equipped, the rooms, living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms were all satisfying. The pool was great as well. We were in the last week of July, the temperatures were quite hot and for big groups there is not much shadow at the poolsite. We had a tarp to make us some extra shadow which was pretty useful. Altogether we had a pretty good time and would recommend the house to others.

What a wonderful time

Myself and my group all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Uwe and his wife were lovely and very welcoming the property itself is stunning and the surroundings and views are incredible. Getting to and from which is something had to do a lot due to family plans is a bit of a mission but if we had been able to just sit and enjoy the location is beautiful. The property is so homely and comfortable and suited as perfectly with the mixed group of guests we had, also William has been from start to finish of the booking and stay very accommodating. The only issue was that the water pressure and showers aren’t the best and sometimes had barely a trickle on the ground floor shower and the upstairs one fill lots of the room with water when used but is more powerful. The bathrooms themselves are beautiful. All in all I would definitely go back and would definitely recommend it to friends and family. Many thanks Rosanna

Amazing property

Wonderful. (That's the most apprpriate assessment) Brought my 83 year old mother on her desired Under The Tuscan Sun pilgrimage. Visited Cortona, Bagno Vigiani, Trensime, Arrezzo, more Vineyards and oil growers than can be listed. The villa is self sufficient, happy, full of light, a step back hundreds of years in time. Ewe the villa onsite manager was welcoming, helpful, and always around to check in. William, the owner, checked in with us via chat every other day and was concerned for our continued happiness. Stay here. Don't fear anything. Simply.. wonderful. Doug

Italian history in the Umbrian countryside

The house is enormous, with outdoor eating not far from the house and a pool. It’s lovely in many ways - lots of stone, history, and beautiful furnishings. It‘s peaceful but you need 30 minutes to get to any bigger road. We were disappointed with some of the maintenance issues - peeling paint and plaster, water stains from a dodgy shower (no cabin or curtains) algae in a children’s bedroom, malfunctioning pool umbrellas, etc. There is a fine line between rustic / charming and run-down. However, communication with the owner and the on-site caretaker was no problem and issues were addressed quickly. Overall a nice place for a holiday.

Perfect place for catching up with friends

We looked for a place for catching up with friends and we succeeded. We have been sitting on the square terrace-with-a-view for hours and hours, in the dining room with the open fire when the evenings were a bit colder, and in front of the huge pizza oven alongside the swimming pool, after our synchronous swimming competition. Kitchenware was fantastic, the rooms were beautiful, many quiet places in- and outdoors for one’s own moment to read a book or sleep in a hammock. We used the grotta for singing and watching Italian movies. We also enjoyed culture and nature in the surroundings (Gubbio was one of the biggest surprises), but found out that it took some time to travel to all those beuatiful places. Being on the hill has its prize, and sometimes we were confused about the different little roads leading to the house (or not). We had some persistent problems with the watersystem, but Uwe was always reachable and willing to help. In short, great and beautiful house, perfect for meeting with family and friends.

La Dolva Vita in

Fattoria San Lorenzo is a beautiful home overlooking the Niccone valley. We were there for a lovely week with our extended family who had flown in from all around the world - many enjoyable hours were spent either seated by the terrace drinking wine or playing by the pool. Uwe was happy to help with anything we asked - I have to say he went above and beyond firing up the pizza oven on a 30deg C day! In addition, William was a great host with very good communications prior to our arrival and always happy to respond to our questions and requests eg helping to arrange chefs to provide dinner one night. Thank you Uwe and William for making our family reunion so special!

Lovely secluded property away from it all

We had a wonderful time. The house has a magnificent balcony, with stunning views across the Niccone valley, and a delightful dining room for cooler or stormy evenings. We have been renting houses in Italy for nearly 30 years, and one thing we especially enjoyed was the slightly cooler air (and no mosquitos!) up on the hill. If you are looking for easy access to the great cities, churches and sights you will have to program in a 30-45 minute drive. But if you want magnificent views, solitude, and long walks or runs then it is hard to top this place. At night we saw porcupines, deer and wild boar in the forest. Very special. Communications with the owner were first-rate. He was very quick and helpful with any questions or concerns. Highly recommended.

Off the scale! Complete reboot complete, thank u

We just lived the Italien dream! For us it was the mix of rustic charm, cultural immersion - it’s not often you get to live in a traditional tobacco farm with the luxury of high ceilings, fine sofas, terraces and pool time. The house is a real testomy to sympothetic restoration with original features and masonry. We were four families with 8 kids and never felt on top of each other and when left on our own (just the three of us) we didn’t feel like we rattled around. Stunning views, I’m sure there’s plenty to explore but we rarely left the property (more like a very small hamlet!) although the local winery did get a visit as did the pizzeria which were nearly as good as the pizzas we made by the pool on the enormous pizza oven!! The perfect place to escape and spend quality time with friends and family. Already planning the next big birthday bash!!! So many happy memories, thank you

Wonderful and relaxing fortnight

We enjoyed a wonderful two weeks at Casa Padronale. The house is beautifully situated with a delightful and calming view over the valley; the heat of summer, which is fairly intense at the bottom of the valley, is reduced by the breezes that generally flow up the valley walls. Early mornings and long evenings are the best times of day. We invited several friends over the fortnight to share the holiday and found the house to be ideally suited to sharing by 3-4 couples with kids. The house is spacious enough (for example, with two living rooms on different floors) to accommodate a big group of friends who are willing to share shopping and cooking. The kids made full use of the swimming pool and could easily retreat to the second living room in the evenings if they wanted to spend time together. The adults usually ended up reading in the shade during the day, making day trips for sightseeing or sitting around the spacious outdoor dining table, enjoying the view, food and conversation until late in the evening. Umbertide and Cortona are each about 45 minutes' drive for food shopping. I should mention that, since we arrived on a Saturday when shops were already closed for the weekend, the caretaker Uwe (resident next door) had already by prior arrangement bought ample high quality food and wine which was waiting for us in the kitchen. Uwe was most friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and well networked in the area. Highly recommended. Ian and Birgit

We visited Citta Di Castello as part of our family Summer holiday with two other families, a total of 16 people, inc 7 children and 3 babies under 9 months, the house worked perfectly for this large group of families, with room to spare, and there were three cots and highchairs. The house itself is charming, elegant and spectacular, while retaining a cosy and homely feel, perfect for settling in to enjoy our stay. The views were wonderful and if you're luck enough to see the low lying cloud within the valley in the mornings you're in for a breathtaking treat. The house is perfect for staying put and doing nothing but relax and enjoy the pool and house facilities, however there is plenty to explore in the local area, including Lake Trasimeno which we visited on a couple of occasions. We had a few sat nav issues early on, which lead to some bumpy track adventures, but this only added to our experience and the charm of being at the top of the hill. The house keepers were friendly and welcoming and always happy to help and offer advice. We also enjoyed a few meals out at the local restaurant within the valley, which was always welcoming with great food. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were all sorry to leave. We hope we will get the opportunity to revisit in years to come, and we look forward to seeing how the surrounding barns and buildings may evolve. .

Such a magic place - beautiful, old, just the right mixture of ramshackle and grand.

William and Uwe looked after us so well, answering questions, fixing any problems and sharing tips about the local area. The kids loved pootling by the pool, catching lizards and chasing butterflies. A week of pure relaxation.

Peaceful haven to explore the delights of Umbria

A wonderful rural retreat from which Perugia Assisi Cortona and many beautiful historic Umbrian and Tuscan towns and villages are easily explored. The borgoo is a calm oasis set high on the Umbrian hills with stunning views over the beautiful Niccone valley. It is warm and welcoming with large airy rooms and a typical country kitchen with modern appliances and every kitchen utensil you could imagine. The guardian knows the area well and is friendly helpful and an invaluable source of local knowledge. The owner is very helpful and really wants his guests to enjoy Umbria as much as he does. We had a lovely week exploring the area and returning "home" to San Lorenzo often to delicious locally prepared meals. These can be ordered in advance and delivered or cooked in situ by a delightful local lady. Absolutely amazing to have a dinner served in the baronial dining room after a tiring day of sightseeing! The guardian was also able to shop locally before our arrival. in an adjacent valley is an authentic family run pizzeria which deserves more than the one visit we managed! We had a wonderful week of exploration and relaxation and are already very much looking forward to our return to San Lorenzo next year
