Quiet and lovely

Well what can we say, amazing house in a quiet location. We stayed here for an entire month using it as a base for visiting the local region on daily excursions. The host Caroline was awesome and made sure we had everything we needed. Can't recommend this location enough to anyone looking for an amazing taste of life in Perugia.

Brilliant stay

We first stayed here around a decade ago, and always meant to return. The position of the house and its architecture is peerless, and Caroline is a great host - communicative and efficient. Would highly recommend and hopefully we won’t leave it as long until the next visit. One tiny update for the visitors’ notes: the Italian toll road system now accepts credit cards, so you needn’t worry about getting cash out before your trip.

An amazing house, in an idyllic location.

This house is just as described. The setting is beautiful and very relaxing. The house is incredibly well equipped and comfortable. The space in the house is amazing and would comfortably sleep 8. There were just 5 of us and it seemed enormous. Caroline is really helpful and has a great local knowledge. The only thing that could improve this amazing house, would be for it to be slightly cooler in the hotter months. The downstairs of the house is a fantastic temperature but upstairs can be a little too warm.

Beautiful house, mesmerising views

This was our second visit and we were delighted that the villa was just as comfortable and stylish as we remembered. September is a lovely time to visit - we had lots of warm sunny days over the fortnight and made very good use of the pool. Assisi and Perugia, Spoleto and Spello were also MUCH quieter than we remember them being in August. We love the location of the villa as the little towns close by are not at all tourist-y - but there are of course lots of tourist drawcards close by if that is what you want. Caroline was very helpful and solicitous in accommodating the arrivals and departures of several groups of friends and we also appreciated Cate's help when we made the booking. It was a wrench to leave! Finally, a mention of the cafe La Fraschetta in Ponte Valleceppi - we thought it was a standout for lunch and dinner in terms of local produce and value for money.

About the host

Hosted by Caroline Sampson

The property is owned by David and Cate Sutton, resident in Australia. The property is managed by Caroline Sampson, English, resident in a nearby village in Umbria.
David is an engineer/artist, Cate a passionate foodie. We have loved visiting Italy for years, study the language, and looked to buy. We came upon the opportunity to build a contemporary highly ecological house in the hills of Umbria. This greatly appealed to the engineer and our project has been one of enthusiastic collaboration between us, our Australian architects, the German builders who prefabricated the house, and the Italian building team who completed the construction. Villa del Verde is our second home and we have furnished it with original Australian art. It embodies all that is contemporary in both furnishings and the latest technology for thermally efficient houses and we want others to embrace and enjoy all it offers.

Why they chose this property

We particularly love being in a country environment while, at the same time, not being at all isolated. Our close proximity to a beautiful city, to real working italian towns, and many famous medieval villages is unique and offers a vast choice of activities. We have two neighbouring families closeby with whom we have good friendships and hence a sense of community. One lives there permanently and the other only for holidays. Our views are stunning and the environment peaceful and relaxing.

What makes this property unique

A point of difference for our house is obviously the International A+ energy certification it has received. Our state-of-the-art air exchange system allows the house to maintain an even temperature of your choice (low 20 degrees) all year round. Heating costs are not an issue as they would be in a typical traditional italian house. This makes our house comfortable and affordable all year round. The architecture and design is contemporary, and while local materials are featured, they are incorporated into a modern, light-filled, open, comfortable and highly efficient house. The house also has lots of security with outside sensor lights and an alarm system.
