Description

Situated in a triangle between Assisi, Perugia & Gubbio, the Owl can accommodate up to 8 people. The pool area with its comfortable sunbeds and sails is wonderful for relaxing and taking in the great views. The 8 metre diameter pool is very sociable. Children and adults alike just love it and the garden with its lizards and wildlife. There is a 'sitting room' with armchairs alongside a dining area and a barbecue with the best view ever! I have an enormous garden planted with ornamental and fruit trees plus a vineyard. It is easy to find a quiet spot to paint or just be! You can go for walks on Monte Cucco, the highest mountain in Umbria and watch the hand gliders, cream cattle and big herds of horses. in May, June and July the mountain wild flower meadows are a sight to behold! The world famous Grotte di Frasassi are nearby where you can see amazing stalagmite and stalactite formations!

The Owl has a large well equipped kitchen with cooker, dishwasher, sink, drainer and drainer cupboard, large fridge/freezer, worktops, microwave, large wooden dining table and benches. All house and pool towels are provided. There are many good value restaurants close by if you don't feel like cooking! And the best pizzas just down the road! Many wonderful places to visit within an hour of here. Historical hilltop villages and towns, walking up to the highest mountain in Umbria meeting herds of horses and cream cattle, tasting truffles and salamis and great cheeses aged in caves under the mountains, horse riding and tennis just up the road......and much more! in early July, Umbria Jazz festival takes place in Perugia with live music creating a very special atmosphere. Wandering groups playing in the streets and gardens! Plus the exquisite beauty of Perugia.

June is a lovely time to come. Glorious wild flower meadows up in the hills and in my garden! July & August are hot but my home is at 500 metres so the evenings are pleasant. Come September and the schools will have gone back so sightseeing is a delight. Relaxing....time for yourself.....do what you like.......great walks....best pizza nearby.......biking....tennis....swimming.....cooking.......direct train to Rome.....daytrips to Rome......taste truffles.....cheese and salami picnics up in the mountains......searchb for wildlife....birdwatching.....migratory birds......

There are 3 double bedrooms, 2 with large double beds and the 3rd has bunk beds. There are also 2 sofa beds each for one person, one in its own room and one in the bedroom with the bunk beds. There are 2 shower rooms and a comfortable sitting room with a big settee, tables, armchairs and a selection of books, dvds and games, if by any chance it should rain!

The Owl has its own independent entrance. Outside there's a terrace with a long table, chairs & 2 drying racks. I also offer a discreet use of my washing machine. This is my family home and I can help with advice on places to visit, walks and family restaurants. Fantastic new road links have shortened the time to get to places such as Assisi, Perugia, Gubbio, Lake Trasimeno and the East Coast. Even driving up from Rome takes just over 2 hours! Perugia airport is only 20 minutes from us. Ryanair flies there early in the morning so i usually stay at the Premier Inn at London Stansted airport the night before. Good value and really comfy beds. Ancona airport is about 50 minutes from us. You can contact me on WhatsApp on 0039 3386541022.

Regarding car hire....one family told me how they booked a rental car with free cancellation. Then nearer their arrival date they did another search and found the rental cost was much lower! So they cancelled the original booking and rebooked the new quote. Now that's worth a try! They saved nearly 40%!

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WILL BE AN EXTRA CHARGE FOR HEATING IN MAY & OCTOBER IF REQUESTED.

A Euro 50 cleaning charge is asked for on your departure to save you donning rubber gloves and getting the mop out! After all you are on holiday!

Beautiful Umbria

By Kerri & Dave, Calgary Canada on 21-Jul-2024

Dear Maria Thankyou so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. We very much enjoyed exploring Umbria. My favourite was the train & bird cages in Gubbio. Dave loved Assisi as did the kids! Our youngest loved the Frasassi caves and the ice creams! Your hospitals and helpful tips were incredible.. Thankyou! Kerri & Dave July 7-21st

Maria is a very friendly host

By Wieger & Ellen on 29-Aug-2023

Maria is a very friendly host who goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The pool is beautifully situated with panoramic views and has good shade. Gualdo Tadino has everything you need for your holidays and nice good value restaurants and is not very touristy. Moreover it is ideal to explore the rest of Umbria.

We loved our stay and highly recommend it!

By Lionel Pechaud on 29-Aug-2023

It is an idyllic place to escape from crowds and tourists, in the heart of nature, near the mountains and the sea. Thankyou again

A wonderful house in a great location

By Annabel on 12-Aug-2023

We had a wonderful holiday this summer in ltaly and Maria’s house was the perfect location. It is comfortable, well equipped and very cool despite the hot summer sun! It’s also very spacious with a really comfortable sitting room which means that all guests can spread out (for our 3 teenagers this was great!) and have their own space. The pool is fantastic and it’s such a beautiful setting. We did so much - visits to historical sites, watching the sunset in the mountains, eating delicious food. Maria is a fabulous host. She is full of suggestions and so helpful which made all the difference. We loved staying here and have lots of happy memories of our time.

Owner response on 07-Sep-2023

Thankyou Annabel! It was lovely to meet you all and I am so glad you enjoyed your holiday so much. Umbria is such a beautiful part of Italy and rather undiscovered and not so touristy. A huge variety of things to do here and then come back to relax by my stunning pool!
