Beautiful villa - we'll be back!
We spent a wonderful two weeks in this beautiful villa with its amazing pool. Everything was clean on arrival and well provisioned. The villa’s surroundings are tranquil with picturesque hilltop towns from twenty minutes drive away. Everyone we met was so friendly and helpful, from the sommelier at the wine tasting, to the housekeeper and gentlemen who looked after the grounds. We especially appreciated Margherita who helped us, gave ideas of where to visit and booked restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Adorable, well equipped charming old farmhouse
Our family of four stayed here for a week in hot July. What an adorable sanctuary Podere Marone was after several days in hectic Rome! We enjoyed very much the fully air conditioned house (pleasantly cool) and lovely large pool from the bottoms of our hearts. Property is truly private and the views are stunning!! Kitchen is well equipped and nearby village has couple of nice shops to buy groceries. Despite of great variety of restaurants in the area, we made most of our meals in the house because it was so much fun. Property Manager Margherita was super helpful prior and during our stay, we were impressed about the extraordinary warm service. Recommending the tour at Muro Grosso and Castello di Montegiove Margherita arranged for us! Special thank you for the pool maintenance and gardening - the gentlemen arrived discretely each the morning (parking even their car down the hill not to wake us!) and worked without sparing their effort for our convenience.

Fantastic summer holiday
We had a wonderful summer holiday at Podere Marone and the property was perfect for our family of four (two small children) plus one set of in-laws. The location is beautiful and quiet and very private. A car is a necessity to get around in this area. Fabro has the basics but there are plenty of beautiful towns in driving distance (Orvieto and Citta della Pieve in particular). Margherita was wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble from sorting out a few things to do with the house to organising a wine tour to organising a very special dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Margherita’s fluent English made up for our lousy Italian and allowed us to check and confirm a few things to make our time more efficient. Deborah who popped up to the house if we needed something was also great. In summary, a fantastic holiday and great combination of pretty Umbrian villa, lovely, private grounds and pool with beautiful rolling scenery and excellent customer service.

Beatiful views, lovely spacious gardens and pool, really friendly hosts, accomodation slightly basic
We had a great time, and really enjoyed the spacious gardens, views and pool. Plenty of shade by the pool and lots of sunbeds/chairs, even toys and inflatables.The air con in the house was a godsend, though quite expensive, and there was good wifi. The accomodation was slightly basic, very clean, but the beds were not comfortable (apparently new mattresses are on order) and we had a few problems with the fusebox tripping and dishwasher not working well that the hosts were very helpful in diagnosing and fixing/replacing. Margarita the agent was lovely, friendly and helpful, fluent english speaker. Deborah the lady who met us and did cleaning was also great. Had a great morning out at the vinyard and wine cellar. Was good to have bikes available for rides - though they needed a bit of TLC - again, when we asked the hosts they got spare parts etc. Accomodation up on first floor meant lots of going up and down the main stairs as the covered verandah and BBQ are on ground floor, might not be not ideal for very young kids or those with mobility challenges. Access is via a fairly steep gravelly drive, which was a challenge for my parents with a caravan, but the hosts arranged a 4x4 to pull it up - nothing was too much trouble for them. While we were there there was a festa di contadina in the village Fabro Alto which was good fun. It is 10-15 mins to walk into Fabro Alto and not the most attractive Umbrian village, though there are lovely places nearby. I would say a car is a must. It is well placed for a visit though, with a train station with regular trains to Rome or Florence or elsewhere and near the main A1. Orvieto is nearby and gorgeous, as was Citta Della Pieve. Some lovely countryside places to eat fairly nearby too. Overall a lovely week.

About the host

Hosted by Az Agricola Murogrosso

Host profile image
Murogrosso is a wine cellar, with a selective production of fine wines ... qualified and courteous staff of winemakers and sommeliers will welcome you to taste the secrets of the traditional "barriques".

Mario Soldati * (1906-1999) : " The nobility of wine: is not a detached or abstract subject, that can be judged by drinking a glass, or two, or three, of a bottle that derives from a place where we’ve never been.
What do our senses tell us, when sipping a wine produced in place, in a landscape that we’ve never seen, a land where we’ve never stood, and people we’ve never looked in the eye, or shaken their hands? Little, very little . ...... You should go to wine, not that the wine comes to you. "

Why they chose this property

The villa is in the countryside, surrounded by beautiful vineyards, part of the property which provides high quality wines, produced in the cellar with the possibility of visits and tastings.
Murogrosso is the perfect starting point for day trips thanks to its strategic location whether in the search of wellness and cusine, such as thermal waters and truffles, or sightseeing to major cities such as Orvieto, Assisi and even Florence or Rome.
Podere Marone can also be easily reached by those who do not have a car, being just a short walk (1,500 m) from the station of Fabro – Ficulle which is on the main line Rome - Florence. All Regionals trains stop at Fabro - Ficulle;
The travelling time is about 01:35 hours from Rome Termini and 1.55 hours from Florence S.M. Novella. The Regional Trains are of average frequency, whereas the fast trains that run between Rome and Florence are about every 2 hours.
Hiring a car is essential for those who wish to visit the surrounding areas. Podere Marone is proud to announce a favorable agreement with the car rental company called Picchio & Stella located at only 400m from the Station who have a good selection of vehicles of all sizes. It is highly recommended that should you wish to book a vehicle through Podere Marone, that you send a request at the same time as the reservation and your chosen vehicle will be delivered to the station at the confirmed time of arrival.

What makes this property unique

Podere Marone and the Mediterranean diet
The Mediterranean diet is progressively attracting worldwide interest for its proven value in maintaining optimum physical conditions and natural defences towards common diseases. It is based, as is known, on the prevailing consumption of vegetables, proteins, olive oil, lean meats.
The Azienda Agricola Murogrosso offers guests of Podere Marone, extra virgin olive oil and a few bottles of wine of our own production. From the end of May to early June, guests can also enjoy fruits such as cherries and plums from our trees. We also give guests the possibility of free collection of our vegetable garden products: you will find, according to the seasonal period, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, courgettes, strawberries, celery, fennel, spinach, salad.

The natural cultivation in open fields, rather than in a greenhouse and the absence of forced irrigation, to increase the volume and weight of products, and switching quickly from the garden to the kitchen give these vegetables flavour and taste significantly different from products purchased in supermarkets, as you can immediately detect from your the first experience. Interested visitors will be accompanied in the garden and educated about the choices, method of sampling and the first treatment of the different vegetables.
Those who wish to know the most appropriate cooking procedures and preparation of various dishes of the Mediterranean cuisine and the most suitable condiments will receive the friendly help of a member of staff.
