29/07/2024: A hotel in the original style of the village in an amazing location including two nice swimming pools to cool off in. Later in the day there was sometimes no room at the pool, but then you could put your towel down on the grass. The breakfast was excellent, with delicious fresh sweet cakes and tarts! Dinner was tasty, but no variety on the menu. The hotel room was unique, but a little more attention could be paid to cleaning the stone floor. All in all we had a great stay and very happy with the good air conditioning on the hot days.
26/07/2024: I found this property last minute on Trivago. To book directly on the accommodation website. A skilfully renovated village immersed in the greenery of the Umbrian hills and woods. About ten houses with different types of apartments, central structure used as a restaurant and bar. Two swimming pools on two different levels, a path for walking or sporting activities all around among splendid Mediterranean scrub. Right from the entrance avenue made of white gravel and lined with huge poplar trees, everything speaks of relaxation, calm and peace. Unfortunately, although comparable to a shining jewel, some small cracks can be seen:
- in a world increasingly open to tourism with animals in tow, you cannot make me pay €50 for the stay of the dog who in fact does not benefit from any service other than his own mat brought from home.
- Everything is a bit neglected, the care of the greenery deserves more attention, especially urgent maintenance of the path reserved for walking and sporting activities also because there are useful gymnastic equipment along the route. Weeds prevent you from walking easily, yet 1 hour of brush cutting per week would be enough to make everything easier.
- The two swimming pools are undoubtedly a plus in this structure, at least 60m2 large but also neglected, water and edges dirty with vegetation and mud, equipment not dated but certainly in need of overhaul with a little maintenance. Above all given the large number of people, the two swimming pools should be divided into their use between children and adults, this is because no one cares about enforcing the most basic rules of coexistence so the peace by the pool is often disturbed by shouting, diving, balls...
- Our bathroom, although spacious and with a large shower, was missing a bidet and I honestly don't understand how this accessory could be missing in an Italian structure.
