CASETTA :
Casetta is a fabulous detached cottage with a beautiful private garden and a terrace. On 2 floors, the 2 double bedrooms + 1 bathroom are on the lower floor, leading out to gardens. On the ground floor is the 2nd bathroom + the sitting room/kitchen/diner with dish-washer, which opens onto the terrace and the private garden. Spectacular mountain and valley views all around you.
However, please note that the private garden is overlooked by a large window in the next door house, Casa Grande.
The mediaeval, pedestrian city of Spoleto that predates Roma is 7 miles away, along the beautiful Flaminia. Here you will find a private tennis club that welcomes day memberships, several gyms, amongst which Unique is the best, and, a little closer to you, fabulous riding stables, where you can participate in moonlit, mountain hacks or simply train in the paddock.
We also offer a range of services, from a diversity of cookery classes : peasant dishes eg sausage and cheese making, high class truffle and porcini dishes, pizza and pasta making etc, picnic treks with a donkey, truffle hunts and chestnut gathering in pretty woods, then, cooking and eating alfresco, dining at a chef's home at whatever level you require, including sampling an olive oil, the best in Italy that was blessed by the current Pope in recognition of its worthiness.
Importantly, we have ensured that all these activities are done "in-house" within our small partnership group, thereby, undercutting by a long chalk, the often exorbitant rates charged by independent "activity" businesses, who rely on these activities for their living. For us, such activities are "add-ons" to ensure the perfect Italian holiday; we charge no commission; and, our partners are able to work on minimal profit margins because of the volume of guests that we, Umbria Holiday Rentals, attract.
Having been in the holiday rental business for 15 years or more, our partners, some of whose ancestors owned and controlled Spoleto and Umbria since before the 8C, alongside our combined experiences in knowing how best to present culinary delights, accompanied by the best wines and olive oils, means only one thing. GUARANTEED SUCCESS !! And, ALWAYS at affordable rates !
Lastly, in response to an enquiry, you will receive a list of restaurants, walks, bike rides and/or hiring, round trips, places of special interest, beauty spars, gyms, day trips with a chauffeur etc…compiled over the years, and, updated each year, on the recommendations of all our guests.
If you have a pet, it should be house-trained, quiet and well-behaved.
If you have mobility issues, you should advise us so that we can advise you as to which of the cottages is most suited to your requirements.
