Cottage vacation rentals in Umbria

We enjoyed our stay at this special place very much.

I spent a week with friends at Patrizia's property. The property is nestled in the hills and greenery, in a comfortable enough position to visit nearby Umbria and the magnificent Aretini/Sienese villages. The stay was magnificent: the peace, tranquility and beauty of the setting made this experience unique. Ideal place for those looking for relaxation, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

We had a fabulous stay in this villa over Christmas. The beds/bedding was comfy and the home was lovely and warm. There was a cot for our toddler and the place was relatively child friendly. Kitchen was very usable. Floriana’s wine was available to purchase (which we did) and she also left us one as a treat. We booked the cook to come make dinner one night and it was fantastic. The property is idyllic and it was nice to walk around and enjoy the views. Highly recommend staying here.

Truly incredible home and experience.

The "il Cottage" accommodation is a lovely two bedroom apartment that is right next to the fortress (which makes it even more evocative). Francesca and Aliek welcomed us with kindness and professionalism, making us feel like we are in our home. Their whole family was very nice and helpful, including dogs, cats, and donkeys who were an unexpected and very enjoyable company for us. The fortress is located in a very quiet area but at the same time close to the main tourist attractions of Umbria easily reachable by car, at most in a couple of hours. Absolutely recommended for both couples and families, or simply for people who love tranquility and beauty .

Dear Lucio, now we have visited you for the second time in Magione. This time only for 5 nights, yet just as enchanting and relaxing as last year. We appreciate your kind, quiet way in every situation. Once we did something wrong, you didn't even feel like a mistake. Thank you- and I'm sure we'll be back, that's already decided. With best regards, from Dortmund Andrea, Mia, Tom and Noah

We recently spent two weeks in this delightful house. The location is perfect for exploring the area around the lake and further afield due to good road links. It has all the feel of an isolated house while being close to shops and restaurants. The house was very clean when we arrived and although basic has all the things you really need. Andrea the host was absolutely delightful and welcoming. He was very kind and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

It was a beautiful and complete house in a good location with nice views. The house is clean and richly equipped. Close to Fabriano, so all amenities nearby. Paolo is a very friendly and helpful host who is always ready to answer your questions. For the pizza oven and bbq, all necessities were present, so we used this several times. A lovely pool and beautiful garden, we enjoyed our stay.

Francesco is a really good host. He speaks perfectly English and is always available. The apartment is nice - it’s like in the description. We had a good time and recommend Francesco.

Truly an amazing spot for a family vacation. An easy drive from FCO, the area is totally stunning. Gabriele was the most fantastic host, treating us like old friends. His recommendations, assistance in making reservations, and just general approach made this an enjoyable and hassle free experience. He even chopped wood for us for the evening. The house is secluded, with great nature walks starting from the property. Everything in the house was in fantastic shape, with everything we needed to enjoy it stay. A great small kitchen for cooking meals, nice bathrooms, comfy bedrooms and living room. It was exactly what we were looking for in our family getaway. I strongly recommend Gabrielle’s house for a fabulous Italian family trip.

The sentinel is a magical place, it has exceeded our expectations, with ample spaces, very well cared for and the welcome that only a very loved place has to offer. The view is incredible, it gave us wonderful moments. Francesca, co-host, was a friend, always available and with a big heart. We will definitely be back, such a place gives unique memories and we want to recreate new ones again!

We enjoyed a lovely week at Daniela’s country house. We were a family group of 3 couples and there was lots of space to spread out with many comfortable sitting areas. It was hot so the pool was used a lot. The town is walkable and we enjoyed going out for drinks and a meal a few times but equally enjoyed cooking at the house and eating on the terrace. A car is recommended as buses are tricky and the train station 22 mins drive away. There are lots of interesting places to visit in the area as well. Thank you Daniela for hosting us!

The stay with Fausto and his wife (Anna's parents) was really great: a clean cottage in a great beautiful area. The kindness and helpfulness of the hosts was heartwarming. For example, we got a bunch of herbs from their own garden, they came to bring medicine when one of us was sick and they were always ready to answer our questions. After another place we booked canceled a few days before departure, Anna's place was still available and she was quick to respond. We couldn't have found a better place to stay than this one and will definitely go back.

This place was everything we wanted and more. SO private (we were aline and no other guests in the big Vila next door). the view is just stunning- waking up to it every day, seeing it from the bedroom and drinking our coffee in this view was magical. arriving there is easy but the oast 5 min drive are in a bit more rocky road- fine for higher cars we arrived when it was fully dark and it was still.fine the pool is amazing we had everything we needed here and likes how it is surrounded by green and really isolated. the communication was easy thank you so.much! I wish we will come back!

A wonderful and relaxing week - the beautiful, mature and pristine gardens combined with a swimming pool and great views is what makes this place very special. Lots of different spaces to eat, drink and relax. 2 bars, a pizzeria, a mini market / deli and a good standard restaurant within 5 minutes and friendly locals. Cortona and Lake Trasimeno resorts in easy reach with driving very easy and quiet. Lots of places to see and explore within 30 minutes. The house itself has everything you need, good kitchen, UK TV channels, good wifi and Tuscan charm, downstairs bedrooms a good idea to keep temperatures down for sleeping. Ideal for a single family with children or two couples sharing.

The house is very nice, very secluded (1km private gravel path to the house) and quiet and completely surrounded by nature. The pool is huge and very well equipped with shower and toilet right by the pool. Each room still has its own large bathroom and there are even 2 kitchens. The terrace and in general the whole outdoor area is very nice and with enough trees you also have beautiful natural shade. All in all we were very satisfied, communication with Milagros was also very easy and fast. The accommodation is definitely recommended!

My family of 4 stayed here for a week and loved it. Very peaceful, easy access to other towns, and the area is breathtakingly beautiful. We loved taking the walking trail along the river! The health center was absolutely amazing after a long day of sightseeing. My only frustration is that the airbnb host is actually a management company that manages from a distance. When you arrive you are to contact the owner via text who is also not there. Then when you arrive there is Rita (owners mother) and Pamela (Rita’s helper); who are wonderful. There are a lot of people involved and you don’t really know who to talk to if a problem arises; communication gets tricky.

Thank you so much for everything, we stayed in this beautiful location for the New Year celebrations in a group of 8 friends, everything was perfect and even better than we expected both Silvia (host) and Camilla were super helpful and always available, everything really perfect, clean and tidy, there was everything we needed, I can only recommend it ;) thanks again and happy new year! Andrea

Truly a corner of paradise, everything you could want for a carefree weekend. Really impeccable host Aeneas and a rare person.

We had an amazing time at the property. The little house is exactly what we were looking for. Bright, comfortable, clean, well equipped, amazing hosts. Close to everything, yet in a very private, calm area. Would recommend without a doubt.
