Villa Sogna was a fortuatous find after searching 'apartments in Umbria' for way too long! This is Brian & Rosemary's home, and they treat you as their "friends here for a visit". They were so helpful suggesting places to visit and eat. We had a huge one bedroom apt, with kitchen, living room, bedroom and large bath. We were the only guests for the week, and had the whole pool and lounge area to ourselves. There are wonderful views from the windows and we set up a small table to enjoy our wine in the evenings. The village of Acqualoreto is very well maintained, with a fantastic Osteria 'la Cruccola' run by Neysa, best Italian food we have had, specially cooked for us on her closed day. We could not have found a more perfect spot to explore this beautiful part of Umbria, Todi is a gem, that doesn't seem to be discovered by the Tourist crowd..how perfect.
We had a wonderful week in this lovely property and can recommend both the accommodation and the area. Our hosts were very thoughtful and knowledgeable about the area and we were able to have some great days out. Some of the places we visited were Assissi, Lake Trasimino and Spoleto - all were attractive and easy to get to. The property has a beautiful garden with far reaching views across Umbrian countryside and is a pleasant place to sit. We did not use the swimming pool but it looked fine.

We personally couldn't recommend the experience more highly. Comfortable, spacious apartment, sensational views and above all two very kind and generous hosts in Brian and Rosemary. Very much looking forward to seeing both them and Acqualoreto again. Fabulous.
We stayed in this apartment for 8 nights in May and really enjoyed the experience. The apartment has stunning views across Umbrian countryside and the little village where it is situated has the advantage of a bar and restaurant. Within 90 minutes drive, there are numerous villages, small towns and attractions to visit and we had difficulty in prioritising! Assissi, Spello and Lake Trasimeno were among my favourites. Our hosts were also able to recommend restaurants in the area. The beautiful garden at the apartment is a particular feature and perfect for sitting out admiring the view and listening to the birds singing. There is very little else making any noise apart from the bell in the bell tower opposite which added to the sense of being in a traditional rural village. Fresh herbs are available from the garden and there is a big supermarket within 20 minutes drive with a smaller convenience store about 15 minutes drive away. A car is a 'must' here to really explore the area.
