Owners Bianca and Fabrizio made us feel at home as soon as we arrived. Our apartment was a two bedroom with plenty of space for the dining and kitchen area. We were minutes away from quaint tourist towns; including Assisi, Bastia, Gubbio and Spello and within an hour or so of larger cities like Perugia, Deruta and Florence. The food... More

Just 2 miles from Assisi, this lovely Agriturismo ranks as one of our most memorable Italian experiences. The rooms are spotless, well appointed and roomy. There are public rooms with stunning fireplaces, where, in the evening, one can share wine (grown on the estate) with friends. The host and hostess, Bianca and Fabrizio could not be more charming, welcoming or... More

We thoroughly enjoyed this centrally located, lovingly updated agriturismo. It was the ideal place to relax and just hang out or to use as a home base to visit all the wonderful cities of Umbria. We traveled with several friends and it was wonderful to come together at day's end in the living room with a wonderful fire, great wine... More

Its really relaxing, set in beautiful countryside about 5-6 km out of Assisi (not the 2km mentioned on the website). We didnt have a car which was fine as we didnt want to go too far in any case. We... More

We stayed in I Papaveri (The Poppies) which was a two bed, two bath apartment, and quite comfortable for two couples and a small child.

Seating not... More
