The Umbria region

Known as the green heart of Italy, the region of Umbria offers a range of memorable experiences. Perfectly preserved towns perched on hill tops contain many medieval and renaissance art treasures.

The local cuisine makes use of flavoursome products such as olive oils, wild mushrooms and truffles.

The Lake Trasimeno / Piegaro area

Lake Trasimeno is the 4th largest lake in Italy covering an area of 126 square km. The prominent fortified market town of Castiglione del lago is one of the main departing points for the many ferries that visit the islands situated on the lake. South of the lake the towns of Panicale and Piegaro represent small examples of medieval hill top towns, containing twisting narrow alleyways, bars, restaurants and weekly markets.

Between Piegaro and Panicale there is a water park available during the summer season.

Most amenities are available at Tavernelle (10min drive), to include garages, bars, banks, chemist, supermarkets, general shops and weekly market (Monday mornings).

Restaurants are found in all nearby towns - details and recommendations are found in the guest file at the apartment.

An example of the many numerous local summer festivals in the area are hosted by the towns of:-
Citta delle Pieve (Palio dei terzieri- August),
Panicale (Festa dell'Uva - September),
Lake Trasimeno, all main lakeside towns including Piegaro, (Trasimeno Blues- July),
Perugia (Umbria Jazz - July).

Being situated so close to the border of Tuscany, local explorations can include Montepulciano (wines) Pienza (fantastic cheeses) San Casciano dei Bagni (thermal baths and springs) Cortona (shops and great views of Umbria and Tuscany)

The nearby train station of Chiusi Chianciano Terme, can allow you to take further explorations direct to the heart of the cities of Siena, Florence and Rome.

The main Provincial town of Perugia, is full of shops, bars & cafes, restaurants and is home to the National Umbrian museum and many historic buildings and churches. Now accessible by a new Metro line, parking and visiting the town has never been easier.

“AAbsolutely fantastic holiday in a very comfortable apartment with delightful hostshtful hosts” We loved the ambience of La Fiorella, and had a fantastic 2 weeks there, relaxing around the beautiful pool and secluded patio and gardenswith its breathtaking views. We discovered some delightful towns including Pienza, Gubbio Panicale , whilst memories of amazing trips to the jazz festival in Perugia and sights of Orvieto and Assisi, shall take us through the dark winter months ahead. Johanne and Graham made us so welcome, with Dylan of course, and their knowledge of the local area was a great bonus as we pootled about this fantastic part of Italy. The apartment had absolutely everything we needed, and we were so impressed with the kitchen utensil shelving from IKEA, we got one ourselves. As for the bed, so comfy.........we weren't desperate to get back home to our own, as is usually the case. Just what we needed as we prepared for our daughter's wedding later in the summer. Rest assured, we'll be back. Response: So glad you enjoyed yourselves here, we are always pleased when guests have a "fantastic" holiday, and we appreciate your review on La Fiorella. It would be lovely to welcome you back to our part of Umbria anytime. Johanne & Graham

“Peace and relaxation in the Umbrian countryside” Enjoyed a wonderful week again this year - beautiful and relaxing after a few busy days in Rome. La Fiorella is like a home from home with all the home comforts we could need so we start relaxing as soon as we've arrived. Weather was more mixed this year but we still came away with a tan! Thank you Johanne and Graham for such wonderful hospitality. Response: We are both glad you enjoyed your return trip to La Fiorella, and thank-you for your kind words in your review. It's always a pleasure to have guests that enjoy the Italian way of life including the local festas!

“Excellent property in the heart of Italy which offers amazing value for money” Having rented on line for the past 10 years we have learned that not all property descriptions are what they seem and some photographs can be taken from very flattering angles. Therefore we always arrive at our holiday home with fingers crossed that the hours of internet research have paid off. La Fiorella most certainly did. The photos on the wbesite do not do it full justice. It is an absolute gem right in the very centre of Italy. The spacious accomodation is set on the first floor directly above the permanent home of the hosts. Access is at the side of the property up a flight of stairs. These may not be suitable for very small children but our 3 year old had no difficulty. The hosts Johanne and Graham are very helpful but unobtrusive. The apartment is clean and tastefully decorated. It is very well appointed for a holiday let and had everything that a family needed. The pool and views are amazing. It is a great base for exploring the heart of Italy. We had day trips to Assisi, Siena, Orvieto, Montepulciano and Cortona all of which are around 1-1.25hrs away by car. The closest village of Piegaro is not particularly well serviced or interesting. However within 20 minutes drive there are some lovely hilltop villages and towns which had some great little restaurants and play parks for the kids. Less than 10 minutes drive away is the town of Tavernelle which has all the amenities you would require. It is also blessed with a very nice waterpark, which whilst not being as large or exciting as those found on the Costas benefited from only small queues and we did not leave feeling like we had been mugged. We went on this holiday with 3 children of 9, 6 and 3. La Fiorella and the location managed to strike the right balance of relaxing by the pool, great Italian food, trips to the beach at the lake and plaparks for the kids whilst allowing mum and dad to visit some wonderful sights and see some culture. It may not suit families with older tenagers but I can not recommend the apartment or area highly enough. We loved it so much we have been twice. Something we have never done before. If you do decide to go try and coincide your visit with the festival at Citta del Pieve. A truly amazing historical pageant which entranced the whole family. I doubt there are any better properties in this region of Italy that offer the same level of accomodation at these rental prices. An absolute gem.

“Magnificent Views” Fantastic property - completely self contained 3 bedroomed flat with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. High up on top of a hill with uninterupted views and great walks. Excellent swimming pool - clean, neat and tidy. Owners live on the ground floor and are very quiet and unassuming but extremely helpful with local advice. Near to beautiful hilltop town of Panicale and the fantastic Lake Trasimino. Highly recommended

“Peaceful Umbrian hills in the sun.” We had a very comfortable stay in the peaceful, private and well furnished apartment. The pool was welcoming and cool as were the friendly owners. The views are outstanding and the surrounding country beautiful. The sights of Umbria and Tuscany were in easy reach but a car is essential. The only drawback isnavigating the last few kilometers of hilly gravel roads but we soon got used to that.

Guestbook for La Fiorella

'If you are looking for some luxury accommodation, high in the beautiful hills of Umbria, look no further. Close to such wonderful places as Panicale, Perugia, Assisi and Todi, Graham and Johanne's is a perfect base from which to explore.

The accommodation itself is on the 1st floor, which only adds to the amazing views and is extremely comfortable with a great kitchen and dining area, and the comfiest bed in Italy..

Enjoy your stay but don't book when we want to go......

"Delightful self contained apartment in Umbria with lovely views of the Panicale area. 3 well fitted out bedrooms including a spacious kitchen / dining / living room area – all tastefully decorated and in keeping with the area. Access to an excellent pool, again with great views. Hosts are most welcoming."

Beautifully appointed apartment with breathtaking views. We have thoroughly enjoyed our week and managed to pack a lot in - day trip to Rome, Siena and Cortona, plus much more. The festival in Citta delle Pieve was very special, as was the jazz concent in the square in Pienza.

A great holiday, made all the more enjoyable by Graham and Johanne's warm hospitality.
The photo's on the web site really don't do it justice

A wonderful week in a fantastic villa - Thank-you so much for making us feel so welcome and providing everything we could need for a wonderful week. We enjoyed the pool with stunning views and visits to Orvieto, Sant'antonio, Montalcino, Pienza, Assisi & Panicale - We are sorry to be leaving but will take away some great photos and memories
