Read More...This was a perfect visit! All the arrangements went smoothly, and the house and garden was a joy to stay in. The location - just outside the wonderful walled town- couldn't have been better, allowing us space, views ( and a ready supply of salad!) which we would not have had in the town itself. We were just the two of us, but there was ample space for 4 or more. The other half of the house and the land to the front is used by a local man and his family, and though they had no English and we had no Italian, they were welcoming and cheery. It was a plus to be close to a local working family- and there was no loss of privacy at all. We found plenty of wonderful places to visit during our 8 day stay. We'd love to visit again!

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our house is in the Umbrian countryside - a landscape of rolling hills, forests and olive groves - just outside the small medieval hill town of Lugnano-in-Teverina. There are views to two hill towns from the main terrace. Although the surrounding area is one of villages and small towns, we are only a few kilometres from Attigliano, which has train services to Rome,(about 45 minutes), Orvieto and Lake Trasimeno.
