Spent the last week of September at the Villa with a friend. We had the 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom arrangement. The Villa's situation, gardens and rooms are exactly as depicted in their photos. The views are stunning from every window, The kitchen is completely equipped for any sort of cooking (although we didn't do any...the supermarket deli in nearby Todi is filled with wonderful prepared foods!), A large part of the charm of the Villa is it's unique floor plan, including the daily climb to and from the 3rd floor, great for working off some of the pasta calories.
Rosemary is a gracious hostess; touches like the pot of pansies on the kitchen table and the freshly baked fruit loaf for our first morning breakfast are only available in a small establishment like this.
Our weather was a bit too cool for the pool but what a wonderful location for a glass of wine after a long day touring about. Again, the views out over the valley are stunning. We had full access to the garden area, protected by lovely Taffy the Corgi.
We loved the experience of life in a small country village. The church bells twice a day across the street, the greetings of other villagers when we were out and about, delivery of the winter firewood, the children leaving for school in the morning and returning in the afternoon.
To coin a phrase...I'll be back!

We had our second stay at Villa Sogno and were a little worried that we may get a little bored as we had been here for three weeks in 2011.
We needn't have worried though as it was as good as the first time we went there.There are so many places to visit,the position of Acqualoreto is perfect to visit all the wonderful cities and villages in the area.
The property is spacious and well equipped and the views are truly stunning from the garden and property.
The swimming pool was clean and well maintained as was the property.The hosts are helpful and friendly without being intrusive,allowing you the pool to yourself.
The negatives? Going home.

My wife and I joined friends already staying at Vila Sogno, in the gorgeous little hilltop village of Acqualoreto, in order to celebrate her 60th. birthday, and from the minute we arrived we were so glad we made the journey. Our apartment was spacious and fully equipped with panoramic views of the distant hills and valleys from our bedroom window on one side and the village bell tower on the other. The bed was king sized and extremely comfortable. But the best part was outside. Our hosts, Brian and Rosemary, could not have been more gracious, welcoming and helpful in every way, and one of the many highlights of our stay was the elevated view from the garden patio, where we enjoyed many glasses of the fabulous local wine, while overlooking the pristine pool below.
There was ample parking for our car and right across the road was a fabulous little restaurant, where scrumptious local dishes were served at unbelievably reasonable prices. Just round the corner on the opposite side of the village square was the local bar, where we soon became friends with the two employees, Roberto and Paulo, both of whom could not have been more welcoming. The local inhabitants of the village, from 5 to 85, were also warm and friendly and even though our Italian was extremely limited, language was not a barrier in the slightest to being made to feel welcome by everyone we met.
It is well worth taking day trips to the ancient towns of Todi, Orvieto,and Nani, all of which were full of interesting histories and particularly beautiful old churches. And every place we visited had the most amazing restaurants, full of charm, atmosphere and imaginative menus.
The last word, however, must be with our hosts who made us feel like members of their family with their warmth and generosity of spirit. We cannot wait to return to enjoy this little piece of Heaven!
