Stunning villa, ideal location and unbelievable hosts
We had a two-week family holiday - 8 adults and 6 children under 11. The villa is absolutely lovely - two separate 'units', one with three bedrooms and one with four (all with very good air-conditioning). Each unit has a kitchen, dining room and lounge but to be honest you spend most of the time outside. There is a wonderful and large balcony which comfortably seated all 14 of us for breakfast/dinner, but the star of the show is the gorgeous pool. Sun loungers, chairs and umbrellas galore. A sizeable pool house with a loo and a fridge. Unsurprisingly we spent most of our time here ! It's the personal touch that makes it though - Beatrice and Franca are wonderful hosts and incredibly kind people. Nothing is too much trouble and they went so far above and beyond for us. Anything and everything from delaying a night out to help us get in after we'd locked ourselves out (sorry again Beatrice !) to arranging for my father's car to be transported back to the UK after he broke his wrist. There is a barbecue and a small pizza oven, but if you have the time you MUST try the proper big stone pizza oven. It takes at least a couple of hours of stoking a log fire to get it to the right temperature, and a bit of trial and error to get the cooking right, but I was very happy when all the kids said it was the best pizza they'd ever tasted ! (Beatrice can give you the instructions you need, and you can buy fresh dough from Conad in Deruta). On the subject of food, Beatrice is a fantastic cook and on four evenings she cooked for all 14 of us. The meals were incredible (with SO much food) and not having to cook or clean afterwards is a big bonus. Good value too - I'd strongly recommend it. With young children we spent a lot of time in the pool, but there's plenty to do. The old town in Deruta is nice, and the supermarket (Conad) is close and has everything you'll need. Local vineyards are worth a trip ... We had extremely nice meals in Deruta at Osteria Il Borghetto and Taverna del Gusto - both lovely local Italian food and very friendly people (especially Luigi and Maria at Osteria). A few miles away is Torgiano, and Albergo Ristorante Siro is fantastic. Overall we couldn't have done better. For large family gatherings it's hard to think of anything that would improve it, and we're all so grateful to Beatrice and Franca for giving us a perfect holiday !

Wonderful Umbrian retreat
A beautiful, relaxed and special place to stay. Owner Franca and her daughter Beatrice are superb hosts. The villa is set in pretty grounds with a superb pool (complete with diving board and lit at night) on a hillside overlooking Deruta surrounded by fields, olive groves and a vineyard - good for early morning walks and to get a feel of the local area. The accommodation was clean, comfortable; a great mix of traditional and contemporary and beautiful local ceramics (many from Franca's ceramics factory in Deruta). The area is a mix of small towns and agriculture. We were a family group of 14 (including our labrador). The contiguous accommodation worked very well for us. Having 6 bathrooms for 7 bedrooms was good. The Belvedere kitchen became the breakfast and lunch space (breakfast on the terrace, lunch by the pool) and the Villa kitchen was used for evening meal preparations. The dining table in the Villa seated us all comfortably whilst the surrounding living space and balcony gave lots of space for break-out groups. We were there during a heatwave and the air conditioning in most areas was very welcome (nb one bedroom in the Belvedere and one in the Villa do not have air conditioning, along with the living space in the Belvedere but large fans had been provided). The pool was definitely the focal point of our stay! Franca and Beatrice were wonderful and both speak fluent english. They were on hand to answer queries, make recommendations and check the pool every day (usually early morning before we were up). The medieval chapel attached to the villa is a special addition - we were there on 15 August and the villagers came up for a service followed by coffee and Franca's homemade cake! Any improvements? We had 4 keen (and very good) cooks in our group so perhaps some additional kitchen utensils such as sharp knives/chopping boards would have been good. There are two sorts of electric sockets and we struggled a little with adaptors. Our recommendations: Deruta - Franca's ceramics shop, the Ceramics museum, Taverna del Gusto for lunch, the local butcher, homemade gelato (nocciola was a favourite), fresh pasta, Tuesday morning market Places nearby - Assisi, Gubbio, Montefalco (superb wine tasting at Fongoli Cantina including the local Sagrantino grape), Monte Subasio (spectacular views), Spello (preserved roman acquaduct), Todi...the list is endless We loved it and hope you do too.

Lovely spacious villa with beautiful pool
We had a fabulous week at this beautiful villa. The setting of the villa in the hill above Deruta with a magical view of the town and the valley is stunning. Many an evening was spent on the large terrace eating and drinking as we watched the beautiful sunset. But there was so many options to sit and enjoy meals from a table next to the pizza oven to lunches and a BBQ next to the pool. The children loved the huge pool, the grounds and ringing the bell on the old chapel in the grounds. All the bedrooms and bathrooms were individual, well decorated and large and there was a lot of space in the house (really 2 houses with kitchen and lounge area in each house- we used the facilities in the belvedere section as this worked well for us). Most bedrooms had access to the terrace or a balcony with views of the beautiful surrounding countryside. Even though the villa feels very rural, it was a very short trip into the town of Deruta for the local market, supermarket and ceramic shops. We were also fortunate to be there for the first day of a festival in Deruta (July 21st) so took the children into town to enjoy this local event. Franca and Beatrice were such attentive hosts making sure we had everything we wanted from suggestions of local places to visit to logs for the BBQ and pizza oven to helping us order a delicious shoulder of pork from the local butcher. They were always nearby if we needed anything. One of the best villas we have stayed in in our 14 years of this type of holiday as both the house and the grounds were stunning and close to many interesting places to visit - hilltop towns, Assisi and lake Trasimeno a few of the options available.

Fabulous Umbrian trip with friends...
We're sadly on our way home from a lovely fortnight at Franca's amazing villa... The description doesn't prepare you for the space, view from the terrace or attention to detail.... There was room for our big group (8 adults, 9 kids) and Franca was on hand whenever we needed anything.... She even cooked for us on our last night.... It's a little odd to have 2 separate kitchens but we just used one for breakfast and one for other meals.... She's planning a new big kitchen under the terrace that would work well... It has a fab pool house with toilet, shower and fridge/freezer for those poolside beers and ice creams.... Deruta is not really walking distance with kids although we did it once (for the spectacle that was Miss Umbria!!).... Pizza Party does great take away pizzas and Taverna del Gusto in the old town is friendly and fabulous..... Definitely try the water park at Tavernelle and lunch at the Alchemist on the square at Montefalco..... We may well return!!

Wonderful house
We stayed for two weeks at this house during the summer of 2015 and found it wonderful. The house (or really 2 adjacent houses) is beautiful and spacious. The rooms were nicely but simply decorated with good quality furniture, and the kitchens were well equipped (especially with ceramics!). For us, the only drawback was that there were two houses, and thus two kitchens and living rooms, and we like to hang out together, but there is plenty of room, so this isn't a big problem (and for many this could be an advantage). The area by the pool, where we would also eat, was just wonderful, and from the patio area, you could watch the sun set over Deruta. The pool is huge and well maintained. Since we were there in the middle of a heat wave, this was a vacation-saver! The gardens are beautiful and there is quite a bit of space both indoors and outdoors. The local hosts were very helpful with restaurant and tourist ideas, or issues with the house (I locked us out!) and yet not intrusive. They came every day to check the pool and water the plants, but usually before we were up, or when we were cooking dinner. Umbria is almost as beautiful as Tuscany, without all the tourists, so the area nearby is very nice and full of places to explore.
