“Casa Fontanelle and Umbria were magnificent” From the first inquiry to the day we arrived at Casa Fontanelle eveything was taken care of. The villa was eveything and more that the advertisment described. We had a lovely holiday with friends and were lucky to have perfect weather and we all enjoyed the heated swimming pool and surrounding countryside. The two meals booked by the owner were excellent and gave us a real taste of Umbria. I will be recommending this property to my Australian friends.

“Best Holiday!” The villa is in an ideal location surrounded by sunflower fields and vineyards. The attention to detail at the villa was tops. It is isolated enough to be very private but close enough to be able to visit many historic places. Rural eateries were fantastic and easy to find. The villa and its facilities are a credit to the owners and managers of the property

“The dream villa destination.” Casa Fontanelle is an absolute delight. We have travelled much across Umbria over the years and of all of the villa accommodation we have rented, Casa Fontanelle is the best we have experienced. It is a charming property in a wonderful location, with superb 360 deg views and has everything to facilitate a comfortable and carefree stay. The owners have gone to every length to help; their local information and tangible support and assistance is second to none, and in a country where swimming pools are usually replenished with cold well water to have a large heated pool is a true luxury. They even provide a separate drinks fridge and the authentic home cooking that can be arranged from a neighbour is excellent. All this and the adjacent cantina, which sells great wines inexpensively, together with wonderful sunsets make for a holiday to be remembered. Casa Fontanelle is convenient for all the major sights in Umbria and we have no hesitation in recommending this villa as an ideal holiday location. We have already arranged a return trip!

Guestbook for Casa Fontanelle heated pool

Casa Fontanelle is absolutely beautiful standing on the hillside and provided us with a gorgeous home during our stay. So comfortable in every sense and you have thought of everything to make every holiday just perfect. It is so well situated making it possible to visit so many wonderful places, Rome and Florence among them. What a truly stunning, unspoilt, untouristy region, the views will remain in my memory for years (and on photos too).

Very many thanks again and I live in hope that we will have a chance to visit Casa Fontanelle again – my residing memory will probably be evening drinks at the side table watching the sun go down over the spectacular hillside then watching the fireflies dancing!! - Perfect.

Thank you. Kind regards. Karrie
