Casa Lucati

Unfortunately our stay here comes to an end tomorrow. We must report that we have thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful casa and the surrounding Tuscan & Umbrian area.
Thank you for all the wonderful information that you have provided with the house.... and for having such a delightful property. BS, 2011

We had a wonderful time at Casa Lucati. Thank you very much. It was a beautiful spot and the house and gardens were so lovely.
I must say we had a fantastic meal cooked by Melchiorre at the house which Emma recomended to us. It was the highlight of our stay. MD, 201

This is one of the most amazing vacations I have ever had! Casa Jerika and Casa Lucati are absolutely magnificent! It was truly a magical place. The views are incredible. The charm of these hillside villas will be indescribable unless you come and experience it yourself! The ping pong tournaments were a hit in the evenings too. The dining room is beautiful! I take back home with me to my Florida beach house some wonderful decorating ideas. Thank you for opening your home to us.

This is our second visit to Casa Lucati. Our first was 2005. We were so amazed by our experience that our good friends scheduled a week here and invited us to join them.
It was such a joy to return here. Everything was as we found it before-and more.
It goes without saying that we are enchanted with everything about this lovely place from the architecture, the accommodations, its setting overlooking the valley, the landscaping, its seclusion and yet its accessibility to so many fascinating places, that we hope that some day we can bring our family, including our grandchildren back to your lovely home.

Casa Lucati is beautiful as is the view unbelievable.. We have loved our trips to neighbouring villages-Mercatale is full of charming people. It is hard to leave!
As you can see from the above comments, Casa Lucati was lovely and exceeded our expectations. (This is the sentence that got cut in half in the email I sent, but the rest follows on.)

Our stay at Casa Lucati was exceptional. Enjoyed the villa and beautiful grounds. There was plenty of room for everyone. Our granddaughter lived in the pool when possible. . I really appreciated the fully appointed kitchen in Casa Jerika and all the fresh herbs! Also enjoyed eating at Mimi’s and I Girasoli’s. Martin handled everything beautifully.
Our days were busy with trips to Cortona, Assisi, Gubbio, Orvieto, Montepulciano, and Castiglione del lago.
My favorite part of the day was watching the 6:30 am sunrise out our bedroom window. Listening to the tractor and sheep in the distance made the moment even more magical.
Thank you for sharing this property with us. D, 2008

........... the accommodation was superb. The location, food, surroundings and people were also very good which all made for a great holiday. The guide you have in the villa proved very useful and we would comment that the food and staff at the organic farm restaurant (a few km down the valley) was superb. Mimi's was also superb. So good we went twice. I'm not sure I have eaten so much in one sitting before and it's a shame we couldn't bring home a few barrels of their lovely fruity home made white wine! The local bakers and butchers (in particular the spit roast pork they supplied on one day!) was also superb.
I would also add that the people cleaning the pool and watering the plants on the Wednesday were also very polite and did a good job.
Many thanks again. We had a wonderful holiday. IL.

I wanted to send a note to let you know how very lovely our stay was at Casa Lucati. Directions to the property were terrific and the home exceeded our expectations in almost every detail. Thank you so very much for helping us !
 We will use your wonderful service again and we have already recommended it to friends.

"We had just a glorious holiday at Casa Lucati. Although we were traveling for 3 weeks, our time at Lucati was our favorite.
The house was just perfect for us! Thank you so much !"

May I say…. That Casa Lucati was absolutely everything we could hope for PLUS MORE!!!!!  We had a wonderful time – the only gripe being that we should have been there for two weeks instead of just one!!!  Am enclosing a view from the bedroom window……..  a photographers paradise…. (I managed to take 1608 photos in 2 weeks). Have recommended yourselves to many people. SG.

Casa Luce Chiara

It was fantastic thankyou.Definitely the highlight of our trip.What a beutifull place.We love Italy and would love to come back and do some more exploring. Regards J&JT, 2011

From the Visitors' Book:
How does one follow all the comments above when you have just spent one week in an earthly paradise, under the discreet but always friendly care of Maggie, in a house that lives up to its description in every respect? This is a nomination for a 'Best ever' award if ever there was one. Top restaurant? Casa Calagrana, Spedalicchio, but the local place in Lisciano also good. To those who follow, ENJOY! AM, 2010

La Rovina
What a privilege to be the first guests in this beautiful place! It felt like home within minutes and we really enjoyed our stay. Big thanks for all the help and maps. There's so much to see and do around here and the drives between are entertaining in themselves. On our lazy days we enjoyed the pool during the day and the fire-flies at night. Thanks again. If we ever come back to this area we'll certainly see you again.
N, L, and A.

A wonderful house and a fabulous place. Tasteful interior and nice CDs, books and magazines. Thanks again for thegroceries and hospitality. We'll be back for sure. Ciao!

Le Sette Vene

Just a belated note to thank you-our stay at La Sette Vene was very enjoyable, we loved the quiet countryside, the nearby villages and the great weather. Thanks again and happy holidays to you and yours, Italy was fabulous!
Angela L.

The location is wonderful overlooking a beautiful valley with hills in the far distance. We stayed in Casa Piero which had a large terrace with a splendid view. We had all of our meals when we ate at home on the terrace and only used the house to bathe and sleep. The house is very simply furnished but clean and very comfortable. Plenty of hot water, clean linen etc., We were so well cared for by Signor Cuculi.
The swimming pool gave endless pleasure to all of the guests as the heat is quite intense at times. The pool is illuminated at night and it is possible to swim late into the evening. The house is quiet and secluded and the area is very unspoilt by tourism. Eating out is very inexpensive and there are lots of interesting places to visit for day trips, Assisi was wonderful but cities such as Florence and Siena are accessible and worth a visit.
We found Gorgacce Rentals very efficient they always respond rapidly to e-mails, and they provided detailed directions etc., on getting to the house. They also provide a folder of information in each unit advising on places to go/explore as well a practical advice re shopping for food etc., If anything, we felt after our visit that our expectations were exceeded by our experience. It was our first time booking such a holiday on the net and we were delighted with the outcome.
Olivia O'S.

It proved to be a fantastic base for our sightseeing trips and with
Terontola station only 20 minutes away we were able to visit Rome and
Florence on separate day trips. We also visited Assisi and Sienna by car again both very accessible . We also enjoyed Cortona and went there a couple of times to eat in the
evening!  SM, 2004

Casa del Lupo

Casa del Lupo is charming, comfortable and best of all family friendly. It was perfect for us and our four boys.
It had everything we could possibly need for the quintessential Tuscan holiday. Well appointed for cooking, and outdoors
there is a ping pong table, grill and a dining table right off the kitchen on the garden patio under a picturesque arbor.
The pool is beautiful and overlooks the valley. It was big enough that my husband swam laps every day
and of course our kids spent hours playing there.
We awoke each morning to bells chiming from the beautiful stone church nearby, and with our village only
3 km away we still had complete privacy.
We stayed for a month and felt like it was our home. The owners were helpful and responsive, and gave us
great suggestions of places to visit in the area.
We highly recommend Casa Del Lupo and would not hesitate to return there or to any of the Gorgacce rentals
Sincerely D&A M, Washington, 2011

We had a lovely time,very relaxing and a beautiful setting.... lucky you!!!
Took some great photos and I particularly loved the fragrant lavender next to the pool.The boys loved the table tennis and the pool! My husband enjoyed exploring the paths on a mountain bike.We visited many of the local towns and looked at numerous frescoes and paintings....a fantastic location for art history!
Thanks again! VP, 2011

A belated thank you very much for a lovely holiday at Casa del Lupo. A. and I had a terrific time, and only wished we could have stayed longer. We loved the area and found the house and surrounding countryside very relaxing. There are so many places to see and explore that it definitely would have been better to come for a couple of weeks - hopefully we'll be able to stay for longer next time! JH, 2010

"THANK YOU for sharing your Italian home with us -- it was unforgettable. It is spacious, clean and very comfortable. The photos don't do it justice, as it was much larger and more lovely than we anticipated. The hilltop views are spectacular -- and I didn't need to go anywhere -- I just wanted to sit in the swing and absorb it all. The quiet was most impressive and peaceful. I sat up several nights watching the magical fireflies. It will be a lovely memory for all of us." RG.

The location was perfect for the things we wanted to do and see while in
Italy. The villa was wonderful. The rural location was just what we
wanted and it was still easy to see all the cities and towns from that
location. The pool was great!! It saved us during that heat wave in
June.
Thanks again for all your help and advice before and during our trip. We
would all love to return soon. JM

I can't believe it was nearly a month ago we stayed in your home in Italy. I have been meaning to write to say how much we enjoyed our stay at Casa del Lupo. It was absolutely perfect for us, the children loved the pool and the garden and we hardly moved from the place, only going into town to get provisions particularly the tiramisu from the baker!! The views from our bedroom window even inspired my husband to start drawing again. We had a great day trip to Assisi and my sister and brother-in-law enjoyed the wine and olive oil tasting. All in all a very relaxing holiday.
We will definitely recommended you to all our family and friends and we hope to be back soon.
Many thanks

We have just returned from our stay in San Martino. It's a beautiful place to stay and Giuseppe's welcome and his cottage made us feel very much 'at home'. Many thanks to you for arranging everything.
Best regards, Karen

Last year we spent a really great two weeks at San Martino. This year we have thought long and hard about where to go on holiday and can think of nowhere better than San Martino.
