A lovely haven
Vasciano is a lovely haven and Hilary a thoughtful and responsive host. The house is charming and well-equipped. The garden is a real joy, mature and well-maintained - the photos do not do it justice - with banks of flowers, the pool set apart, table in different locations and a built-in barbecue. The situation is peaceful with some local views. Given the rural location, few journeys other than to the nearest village are less than half an hour; there are attractions in every direction, though staying put is also very appealing! Highly recommended for a family or small group.

Beautiful, secluded stay in Umbria
We had a wonderful week - the sort of place you almost don't want to tell people about in case everyone discovers it! Beautiful garden, pool, views, well-equipped and spacious farmhouse which was ideal for our family. All communication was perfect and lots of helpful information in advance and at the house. We feel very grateful to have found it and hope to return. Thank you Hilary and Jack.

Total bliss
Fabulous garden! Swimmingpool with stunning view. Totally charming farmhouse. Very well equipped kitchen. Don’t let the drive of the last kilometer to the house scare you of: It is a steep climb on an uneven road (for a Dutch driver anyway), but totally worth it!

10/10 Excellent

Best holiday home I've ever had.
The farmhouse is great, the rooms are well furnished and the kitchen is really well equipped. But the the best of all is the fantastic garden with the awesome view. We enjoyed the stay and fell in love with the house, the garden , the peaceful atmosphere, the delecious food, the tasty regional wines and there friendly Umbrian people. We surely will come back.

Tranquil getaway in the Umbrian countryside
My family of 3 had an incredible week at this beautiful restored farmhouse. The pictures simply do not do it justice. I have traveled extensively and stayed at some beautiful places but the setting of this farmhouse could not have been lovelier. In addition, both the owner and the property manager were great to work with and very responsive, both prior to our stay as well as during our time there. If you just want a place to hang out and relax or looking to take day trips to the many beautiful villages and towns in the surrounding area, you will not be disappointed.

About the host

Hosted by Hilary or Jack Robertson

Host profile image
We are now semi-retired after demanding careers in special education and senior management in the NHS. We love living in a quiet part of Belsize Park, North London, with its easy access the the West End, theatres, cinemas and art galleries and the wealth of events on in London. We are members of The Tate, The National Gallery, Kew Gardens, The Art Fund and The National Trust and we enjoy South Bank festivals, Open House Weekend, Open Squares Weekend and open gardens days. We walk in London's parks, along the river and the canals and we are avid readers. Jack is the art and musical mentor to Hilary who is the practical DIYer in the family.

Why they chose this property

Very peaceful and relaxing yet near to so many delightful places to visit, to eat, see art and architecture, shop, enjoy museums, festivals and cultural events, walk and take boat trips, play tennis and so much more

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the unique ambiance. This we have retained and the house is now extremely well equipped and traditionally furnished as a family home. So it has a very personal feel while maintaining the sense of history and place.
We have made the large private garden from abandoned fields. Many of our guests go back regularly. As a friend said it has "good ghosts"
