Stayed here for a week in early September, four of us all in our mid-70s. It was wonderful. I’ve been visiting Umbria for more than 25 years, renting various properties. I’ve also rented comparable (by size, cost etc) places all over the world before I retired as a national newspaper travel writer. So let me say, with some authority, that without a shadow of a doubt Casella is easily THE best-equipped of any of them. The whole house is a joy, from the huge kitchen and its drawers full of surprises to cosy bedrooms and immaculate bathrooms. The pool is similarly lovely, the views amazing and its closeness to our favourite town of Montone and its location for exploring the Green Heart of Italy is a huge bonus. Sure, it could do with a a few handrails, a bit of outside lighting and a garden tidy-up, but that’s me being picky. You’ll love it if you’re 7 years old, let alone 77.
This was our second visit to this glorious villa - the first was ten years ago, but if anything this was even better. The villa is beautifully located and feels very private and secluded, yet at the same time it is close enough to walk to the small shops and cafes of the famous hilltop village of Montone. It is surrounded by glorious countryside, seen from the pool, which was made even more beautiful during our early June visit by the wild flowers and the frequent sightings of deer and birds. It is clearly a much loved and cared for family home and this creates an atmosphere of ease and relaxation. We are planning to return.
For lovers of Umbria and the upper Tiber valley Casella is hard to beat. A skilfully converted old house, it feels isolated in lush countryside, but is only a mile or so from a delightful hilltop village and within easy striking distance of all the stunning places to visit in the area, from Spello, Assisi and Perugia to Monterchi, Sansepolcro and Arezzo. The house is spacious, clean and well-equipped, the swimming pool gorgeous and well-maintained, and the owners friendly and efficient. What more can anyone want?
A wonderful villa surrounded by wildlife and flowers. Perfect house and pool to relax in after returning from amazing places nearby like Perugia and Assisi. Best of all, wonderful Montone just a few minutes away with its amazing selection of restaurants. The house had everything we could possibly need.
We recently returned from 13 nights at the amazing Casella. We are regular visitors to Umbria and have stayed in a number of places over the years but this is easily the best villa we’ve stayed in, with a great mix of brilliant house, pool and gardens, perfect location for privacy and stunning views, yet easy access to a beautiful hill top town. Testament to that is we’ve already booked for next year! The house and grounds are wonderfully well kept with lovely places to dine in and out, with all the facilities you need and a really good sized and very well kept infinity pool. Our 2 young girls (6 and 10) were also delighted to find a large trampoline tucked away beyond the pool. As the house is at the end of a lane and with no other houses in sight you have peace, privacy and amazing views over the meadow, and the trees and hills beyond to enjoy from the house and gardens. But head back up the lane and in minutes you’ve soaking in more stunning vistas and views of the beautiful Montone and in a short walk have access to a few really good places to eat and drink (preferably soaking in the evening bustle in the square), and a few places to pick up fruit, veg and other essentials, including the bakery. We stocked up in Umbertide on the way to the house, and didn’t need to return. The house itself is really well kept with clean and really comfortable well proportioned spacious rooms with those beautiful floors and ceilings, and with window screens upstairs and shutters all over you can let in the light and air and keep the rooms cool when required, topped up with the fans provided. It simply had everything we were looking for. We had a great time, and Casella and Montone were a true delight. Very much looking forward to returning.
5/5 Umbrian perfection We were so spoilt with this property. Great location-so near Montone and great facilities in the villa- it made life very easy. Thanks.
