We are back from a 2 week holiday in the Pantano apartment and it was wonderful. The location itself is beautiful - right in a valley and stunning views of Umbrian hills all round. Its a great base for exploring central Italy, although we restricted ourselves to Umbria, spending most mornings lazing in the pool with our 1 3/4 year... More

We've been lucky enough to visit Santa Chiara before but this was the first time we have been since we had our son. What we wouldn't have realised on our previous visits was that it is an ideal place to bring a young child for their first holiday away. As per usual, Paul and Anita were the perfect hosts and...

We recently returned from a fabulous week at Santa Chiara and cannot add to the previous reviews. Whilst most people visit with their children we brought my aged 70 plus parents - we all had a great time. The weather was glorious, apartment was spotlessly clean and spacious, location and views simply stunning and the hospitality was second to none.... More

Just returned from our week's holiday at Santa Chiara with a 5 month old and 2 1/2 year old....it was wonderful, and the key ingredient was most definately Anita and Paul's care of us - they radiate warmth, professionalism and genuine hospitality. Given the draconian restrictions of Ryanair's luggage policies (don't get me started!), Santa Chiara is an ideal destination... More

We went to stay in Santa Chiara for 1 week at the same time of the previous reviewers! So a lot has been said that I can just repeat here(location/ home cooking). We were on our honeymoon with our 2 year old and came travelling from Tuscany (Chianti, Radda) and it was a most beautiful drive to Santa Chiara (... More

We have just returned from a wonderful week at Santa Chiara. Paul and Anita are very kind and thoughtful hosts. Their children Bella and Sandro are also very charming. I only wish we could have stayed longer. Anita's home cooking was delicious and I am hoping she will send through the recipes shortly and I will endeavour to try and... More

Just returned from a week's holiday at Santa Chiara - our only complaint is that it we didn't book for 2 weeks! It was a perfect base to sample and explore Umbria. Paul, Anita, Isabella and Sandro made us all feel so welcome - we didn't want to leave. A fabulous location, comfortable and well equipped apartment with a wonderful... More

Santa Chiara really is a fantastic place to holiday with a young baby. We took our 18 month old there and he (and we!) had an amazing stay. The location is stunning and Paul and Anita are unbelievably generous and supportive hosts. We made the most of Anita's fantastic cooking, the baby sitting service for a night out in nearby... More

Santa Chiara is perfect for sampling the lovely Umbrian countryside. Whether it's breakfast on the terrace, lounging by the pool or strolling around all the picturesque villages and towns nearby (Montone, Gubbio, and the charming Pierantonio at the end of the road). Paul and Anita are the perfect hosts and nothing is too much trouble. And with everything so child-friendly,... More
