Abbiamo trascorso 20 bei giorni al PODERE LA VIGNA di Orvieto. Accoglienza molto calorosa all’arrivo in una bella casa, molto ben posizionata, spaziosa, molto pulita, dotata di tutte le attrezzature necessarie. E’ un’oasi di pace e tranquillità a pochi minuti dalla splendida Orvieto; situata in posizione ideale per esplorare l’Umbria, la bassa Toscana, l’alto Lazio e, naturalmente, Roma! La cucina è completamente attrezzata (non mancano olio, quello buono, aceto, zucchero, sale e spezie varie). Al vostro arrivo troverete miele, biscotti, latte, caffè, della pasta e della conserva di pomodoro fatta in casa! Sarete invitati a raccogliere la frutta dagli alberi del giardino e vi saranno offerte uova fresche deposte dalle galline che ogni tanto verranno in giardino a tenervi compagnia! Tutte le finestre sono munite di zanzariere, e l’aria condizionata nelle camere da letto sono state apprezzate nelle giornate più calde e il giardino e la piscina, sono un toccasana per quando si ritorna dalle bellissime passeggiate. Alessandra, Pierluigi e Piergiuseppe sono ospiti molto gentili, premurosi ed estremamente disponibili (a noi è capitato un piccolo problema di salute e siamo stati accompagnati alle visite mediche necessarie, ci siamo sentiti davvero molto confortati!). Che dire: alla partenza si salutano degli amici e la speranza è di poterli rivedere presto! Adriana e Ennio

This is a peaceful, clean and comfortable holiday house in the middle of a garden in the beautiful countryside near Orvieto. The house is private but the hosts, Alessandra and Pierluigi, live next door, and they were extremely welcoming and helpful with tips about what to see in the area. The house has seating outside in the garden and access to a small pool; our hosts gave us delicious fruit from the garden's trees, and fresh eggs from the chickens. Orvieto was only a short drive away, and could also have been reached on foot in around 30 minutes. We had high hopes for our stay, and they were exceeded: this is a wonderful place, both as a base from which to explore the cultural riches of Orvieto and the Umbrian countryside, and as a haven of tranquility. All in all, our stay was a pure delight, and I hope to stay here again.

Where do you start when something is this good? The house is an attractive semi detached converted farmhouse in the owner's gorgeous smallholding on the outskirts of the small town of Orvieto. This is quite simply one of the best places we've ever stayed in and we really didn’t want to leave and come home. The house is good looking from outside, but the inside is truly special. This was Alessandra’s and Pierluigi’s family home before they built and moved into the adjacent property which is also on the smallholding, and the love and care that has been put into the place shows. It is a beautiful home and was a privilege to stay here. Alessandra and Pierluigi are fantastic hosts who are warm, friendly, welcoming and a fountain of knowledge of things to see and do, they could not have been more helpful. Add to that the wonderful welcoming touches such as fresh eggs from their free range chickens, fruit and vegetables grown on site, a simple selection of cooking ingredients in stock like salt, pepper, olive oil and herbs, some pasta and a jar of Alessandra’s wonderful homemade tomato sauce and we felt right at home straight away. As a base to explore the region, this is superbly placed but note you do need a car to make the most of it. The main car park for the town, the railway station, the local supermarkets or the autostrada if heading further afield are all with in 5 to 10 minutes drive. Situated on the southern border of Umbria, it is easy to explore this region and that of Tuscany to the north, or to visit Rome which we did by train for a day trip. We did have day out to the seaside as well which took about an hour and a half to get to so it is doable. This place is superb for families of all ages. It is also ideal for couples who want to explore the region, irrespective of the time of year. We certainly intend to come back to this wonderful place. Grazie mille, Alessandra e Pierluigi!

Alessandra and Pierluigi's place was fantastic. We were visiting there (40-something couple with our 70-something parents) for 5 days where we could easily go up the hill to Orvieto or drive to many other local medieval towns, wineries, or hikes. Their garden was lovely! Alessandra and Pierluigi were so friendly and generous and we all enjoyed being their guests. They had great suggestions for many things that we wanted to do and all of the suggestions were wonderful! The house had everything we needed for cooking in when we didn't want to eat out...we had inside and outside dining tables, and the house was cozy and very comfortable. We loved it and cannot wait to return!!

Stayed here for one week during a touring holiday of Italy & it was without doubt the best part of our holiday. Alessandra & Pierluigi are wonderful hosts - from meeting us at a nearby garage to the provision of home made tomato sauce for pasta, home made wine, fresh eggs form the chickens, fruit, vegetables etc in our wonderful little cottage to Alessandra's sound advice re places to eat & visit. The cottage was a dream - all mod cons but retaining rustic Italian charm. The bed was wonderfully comfortable & everything we needed was provided. Orvieto city is a 5 minute drive away but apart from the railway line you felt as if you were in real countryside- complete with Gallo the cockerel crowing in the dawn each day!. It is a wonderful place to relax - so peaceful and yet so handy for Lake Bolsena & other nearby hill towns. Our thanks to Alessandra & her family for looking after us so well. When returning to this area this would be our first choice to stay.

From the very beginning to the end of our weeks stay with Alessandra and Gigi everything was wonderful. Polite, friendly and helpful hosts who greeted us just after the motorway and escorted us to there farmstay. Alessandra and Gigi provided assistance and tasty delights throughout our stay. The house was impeccably clean. Everything needed was provided.

Un posto accogliente e molto funzionale, con proprietari attenti, gentili e molto disponibili. Un posto in cui ritornare, ottimo per evadere dalla città. Lo consiglio assolutamente!

Siamo stati la settimana di capodanno in questa bellissima casa di campagna circondata dal verde e vicinissima al centro di Orvieto (2min di macchina)!Tutto è curato nei minimi dettagli, pulito e super accessoriato. I proprietari sono persone squisite, accoglienti e disponibili. Torneremo sicuramente appena ne avremo l'occasione! Un caloroso saluto a tutti, compresa Pulce! :)

Abbiamo trascorso una bellissima vacanza a "la vigna", la casa bella e accogliente con tutte le comodità ci ha consentito di avere il giusto riposo tra una visita e l'altra nei bellissimi posti che si possono raggiungere da questa località tra Umbria, Lazio e Toscana.  Alle bellezze del luogo si è aggiunta la grande cordialità e disponibilità di Alessandra e Pierluigi che ci hanno dato consigli e pareri sui luoghi e posti da visitare e con la loro discreta vicinanza ci hanno fatto sentire come tra amici.
