The house itself is fantastic, with a knock-out view over a valley (fully visible from the pool as well as the patio), good-sized rooms, a well-equipped kitchen, parking for two cars, wireless internet, hi-fi, etc. Truly great value, very clean and well maintained.
As a big fan of Tuscany, I was surprised to discover that I actually prefer the countryside of Umbria - it's more hilly, picturesque and overtly... rural. There are plenty of intriguing medieval towns in the area to fill the days between lounging by the pool, and we were even lucky enough to stumble across a full-on festival in Monte Falco, complete with epic firework display.
All in all, a fantastic holday in a beautiful area at a great price

A perfect place to switch off

We were one of the first guests to stay at Il Vigneto last year, and loved it so much we returned with two friends this year. It’s the perfect place to switch off and de-stress!
Situated at the end of a quiet road, the house is very clean and well maintained. It’s decorated to a high standard with a mix of simple but stylish furniture and Italian antiques.
There are several restaurants in the area (recommended in the comprehensive handbook left in the house), but we chose to spend most evenings eating on the terrace – it has the most incredible views across a valley. The kitchen/living room has huge, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, which make the most of that view (and, when thrown open, mean cooking supper can be a much more sociable affair!).
There are plenty of possible day trips (Assisi, Spello, Todi, Orvieto and so on), but Il Vigneto and its pool are so lovely that we were more than happy to spend time at the villa too.
The welcome hamper of local bread, eggs, milk etc is a nice touch.
We hope to return again soon

A clean, well-maintained holiday home with a nice pool in a rural setting. The roads to the house are unmade and very steep and it is essential to have a car at this property. The local village is quaint and there are several basic but enjoyable restaurrants in the area. The information (books, folders, maps) were good and there is also a telvision and internet connection. Instructions for the use of all the equipment is good. Not really suitable for people with disabilities or those who have difficulty walking due to the very steep slopes and loose gravel paths.

Brian and Yvonne stayed here in July/August 2008. Il Vigneto is very well located, close to some of the very best places to visit in Italy, Assisi, Perugia,and not far from Rome and Florence. The accomodation is light and spacious, with magnificent views: and it was really great to be able to cool off at the end of each day in the pool. Being newly built, the property was beautifully clean and well maintained, close to a village for shopping and restaurants; very friendly and helpful people.
