Guestbook for Il Maurilio
By accident we had our first stay at La Macina di Bettona in 2006, and what a week. We were taken very good care of by Roberto and his family and had a fantastic week. The place is very well looked after, and is all nice tidy and clean. Every morning the pool is cleaned and at 8 o'clock is ready for our morning swim.
La Macina di Bettona is located on the slopes below the medieval town of Bettona( a nice place for a late afternoon drink or dinner in the evening). The 20 min walk up the hill to Bettona is a bit stiff,but good exercise.
From the apartments is a marvellous view over the valley with the towers of Perugia located on a hilltop towards the west, shining white buildings of Assisi towards the northeast and on a bit further the picturesque town of Spello.Just sitting on the patio enjoying a cup of coffee or glass of wine is very relaxing, and for us an escape from our stressful everyday lives in Denmark.
The capital of Umbria, Perugia is just 30 mins away and should be on everybodies agenda. There are several beautiful small umbrian towns,within half an hours drive e.g Bevagna, the wine town of Montefalco,Cannara with the September onion festival,the wine and olive museum in Torgiano, and the streets of Deruta with the colourful ceramics.
Shopping is easy. Several shops in the nearby village of Passaggio, including our favourite bakery, and a supermarket open on Sundays is 15 mins away. Also don't miss the market at Bastia Umbra, where you can enjoy the traditional porchetta.
But best of all we always feel very welcome when we arrive at La Macina Di Bettona, and we really enjoy the hospitality of Roberto and his family,who do whatever they can to make us feel comfortable.
We have made La Macina Di bettona, our italian home, and try to get there once a year. We give Roberto our very best recommendations.
