Nespolo Uno

Umbria is a dream - and so is this quarter! It is an olive farmhouse in a picturesque secluded location, very tastefully and stylishly furnished, spacious, with impressive pictures on the ancient walls - just great. You think you're going back in time. This house definitely belongs here, it's not a glossy UFO that landed here (some quarters give that impression). If you're looking for luxury, this isn't the place for you, if you want to get closer to the land of Umbria, yes... We definitely felt at home right from the start. There is no Wi-Fi, no TV, no dishwasher, no air conditioning, no large oven (only a combination microwave with grill/oven function), the bare minimum of crockery (here we missed the small flat plates for breakfast, there were only large), no washing machine - this is important to know. It's also a small journey back to the roots, which tends to support the recovery effect. Nights were initially hot and sweltering (until we acclimated) as there was only one fan - so if you plan to use multiple bedrooms it might make sense to bring an extra one. The landlord Andrea Moretti (himself an olive farmer, but does NOT live on the property, you are alone here) is friendly and pleasant, communication is in English. It is advisable to call him before you arrive - he will tell you where the key is and then give you a detailed description of how to get there, because this can be done via two paths or slopes: navigation systems (including Google Maps) usually show the way. We mounted the VIA MONTE PETRETO, which is steep and in bad condition, fully loaded with four people and luggage, so you need a lot of ground clearance and maybe all-wheel drive in rainy times. A better way is via the VIA DELLA BADIOLA, immediately after leaving the town, take the next right, then always left h

The holiday home is beautifully situated and accessible by car via a gravel path. The owner is very friendly and easily accessible. The view from the garden over the valley in the direction of Magione is beautiful. The authentic house is extra attractive due to the decorated window shutters and paintings. All windows are fitted with mosquito nets. The bathroom is spacious and has a bath where you can shower. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds are good and clean. Also the rest of the house, such as the kitchen is clean. When you walk through the kitchen the floor shakes slightly. Outside there are garden chairs and a table. The garden has a few leveled areas and is mainly sloping. The property is located on the 1st floor of the house, therefore there are no doors to the garden. With two seats you can sit under the canopy at the front door. Unfortunately, the garden is not in the sun until late in the evening. The property is in a quiet location and surrounded by fields with olive trees. It is not completely silent, you can hear the road in the distance in the distance. The paths around the house are occasionally used by hunters with dogs and recreationists, but mostly it was quiet. When you walk up the hill there is a fantastic view over Lake Trasimeno. In short, an attractive home, not luxurious, but clean and all the basics are present. Rural location with beautiful views and ideal for exploring northern Umbria and south, east Tuscany.

We had a fantastic beautiful house with a very nice location and a beautiful view over Magione. The house is large and you can easily stay with a large family. We enjoyed our stay.
