Cottage holiday rentals in Umbria

Total relaxation surrounded by greenery. A clean and quiet show

We stayed at the wonderful Fontanaro villa in the village of Paciano, and it was truly a soul-refreshing experience. Lucia is an incredibly caring host, and Pam, who looked after our stay, was a real treasure. She not only provided excellent recommendations on places to visit but also took care of reservations, ensuring we had nothing to worry about. This was not just an ordinary stay; it was a unique experience. We had the opportunity to participate in an olive oil tasting and a cooking class—both activities left an indelible impression. The villa we stayed in was not only stunningly beautiful but also boasted an impressive wine cellar with an extraordinary collection. Overall, our stay at Fontanaro villa exceeded all expectations. It was more than just accommodation—it was an experience we will never forget.

I spent a week with friends at Patrizia's property. The property is nestled in the hills and greenery, in a comfortable enough position to visit nearby Umbria and the magnificent Aretini/Sienese villages. The stay was magnificent: the peace, tranquility and beauty of the context made this experience unique. An ideal place for those looking for relaxation, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Best place to stay in Gubbio

We felt completely comfortable in the house – everything was exactly as described. Antonio and his wife are extremely friendly and helpful. We were able to relax wonderfully and enjoy the holiday to the fullest. The house is highly recommended and we definitely plan to come back. There is much to discover in the area - day trips to Tivoli, Assisi, Perugia, Pienza and Orvieto are particularly worthwhile.

The "il Cottage" accommodation is a lovely two bedroom apartment that is right next to the fortress (which makes it even more evocative). Francesca and Aliek welcomed us with kindness and professionalism, making us feel like we are in our home. Their whole family was very nice and helpful, including dogs, cats, and donkeys who were an unexpected and very enjoyable company for us. The fortress is located in a very quiet area but at the same time close to the main tourist attractions of Umbria easily reachable by car, at most in a couple of hours. Absolutely recommended for both couples and families, or simply for people who love tranquility and beauty .

This place was everything we wanted and more. SO private (we were aline and no other guests in the big Vila next door). the view is just stunning- waking up to it every day, seeing it from the bedroom and drinking our coffee in this view was magical. arriving there is easy but the oast 5 min drive are in a bit more rocky road- fine for higher cars we arrived when it was fully dark and it was still.fine the pool is amazing we had everything we needed here and likes how it is surrounded by green and really isolated. the communication was easy thank you so.much! I wish we will come back!

We spend a wounderful week in Pogiolo in this converted farmhouse which has been renovated thoughtfully and with very good taste. We enjoyed the beautiful pool and the great view on Castelignon Fiorentiono. The hosts, who live on the property, were very nice and open. They gave us advice for great restaurants and trips in the area. We highly recommend and would come back any time.

I was looking for a spacious, comfortable place with pleasant outdoor features. I found it here. Beautiful, rural, Tuscan surroundings, yet only 20 minutes from Cortona: a great hill town of middling size. Plenty of room for 4 - 6 people with very good sleeping arrangements. Convenient kitchen, washer, and furnishings helped make my almost 3 week stay enjoyable. Definitely benefitted by the instructions, you tube video, and good communication. Would certainly consider another stay if in the area again!

We have visited Alessandro’s place as a group of 6 adults and 3 kids!! Place was very spacious and had a great outdoors seating space as well as ‘games’ room with ping pong table. Pool was great size good for swimming and entertainment. Villa surrounded by great views and it’s up in the heals so therefore much cooler which was amazing during the extreme heat in Italy. Alessandro thank you sooo much for fantastic time!! We will be back ❤️

We truly enjoyed our stay and loved the quiet charm of Gina’s home. Having Dadalo & his lovely mother Nonna cook us dinner was delightful & delicious! We also enjoyed their sweet family dog, Beethoven. Thank you again!

Francesco is a really good host. He speaks perfectly English and is always available. The apartment is nice - it’s like in the description. We had a good time and recommend Francesco.

This place is amazing. Like an Italian dream! I would highly recomend it and i hope I get the chance to come back soon !

We stayed a week at the cottage and had a wonderful time. The surroundings were so beautiful. There are quite a few beautiful towns nearby, perfect for day trips, but you’ll need a car, even to go to Castiglion Fiorentino, the nearest village. Fausto and Flavia were very welcoming and checked in us several times. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed during our stay.

The house is perfect for 2 families travelling together.

Flaminia went out of her way to acommodate us and even helped us with food given our late arrival and that stores would be closed. Appreciate that very much, she was also very flexible and understanding, the natural environment surrounding the house is beautiful and very peaceful.

Roberto's place is lovely, clean and comfortable. The surroundings are very beautiful. Excellent location. Roberto is kind and nice. The house allows quiet and privacy and is very convenient to get to the center of Cortona and the other beautiful cities of Tuscany. The beds were a bit hard for us, but we found a solution

Lovely place with a magnificent outdoor terrace and stunning views. We basically lived outside. Francesca and Ludovico are warm and generous people who will make you feel right at home. We loved our time there.

Staying at this cottage was a wonderful experience! Beautiful view and Federica is a very kind person, really exquisite! The cottage is very easy to reach, the rooms are clean and there is everything you need to spend a few days relaxing... also beautiful the pool, the solarium area and the animals. Perfect place for those who have children or want to relax surrounded by nature!

Our sty was wonderful, we had the peaceful location we were looking for, the kids found the space, playground, and animals to play with, the hoist Francesca and here mum were lovely with us, providing some local treats, felt really like home and having family members care. Place worth to visit with or without kids we really loved this place and will be pleased to do the experience again. Thanks for all.

This was the loveliest Airbnb stay I've ever had. I spent five days in July. For Americans who may deterred by the lack of air conditioning, I will offer that this was during an intense heatwave, but I slept very comfortably due to the cool bedrooms set back into the hillside. Grocery was convenient and the kitchen had absolutely everything I needed to use local ingredients for dinner Al fresco every night. The property included much private outdoor space, the view of orvieto and the vineyards, access to a large pool, and even a very friendly and delightful little donkey. Would give six stars if I could!
