Casa Lucati

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.

We had a delightful week in this idyllic setting-we enjoyed some scenic drives, interesting towns, great shopping and a fabulous time was had by all.
The local baker, butcher and supermarket in Mercatale are excellent. There is no need to travel further.

We had an amazing holiday, loved Casa Lucati, the house, the views, the setting. We are still talking about it and reminiscing over the wonderful time we spent there. We will definately keep in touch as we all agree we shall want to return again and again and would love to use your services. Thank you very much for introducing us to the place in Italy which has become so dear to us. NC 2008

Casa Luce Chiara

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.

Il Appartamento .......

Our visit to Casa Luce Ciara was the perfect break away, peace & quiet away from the hustle and bustle. We loved it here. There is nothing we needed for, we had everything possible to make this the perfect break.
C&D

This has been the most perfect holiday in every possible way. Maggie has been an unobtrusive but perfect hostess. Casa Luce Chiara, a lovely apartment in a stunning location.
C&A

The appartment was lovely, really beautifully kitted out and a lovely base for our travels.

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!

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.

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

"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.
