About this property

Citta Di Castello, inter-gen family occasions, overlooking Reschio

Dating from the 12C, this borgo is perched at 700m looking down into the Niccone Valley and onto Reschio Estate. The main house has 7 double bedrooms, 2 drawing rooms, open fires, a large dining room and fantastic views. The borgo (collection of farmhouses) has a dedicated pool (open from June to Sept), a stand alone - non-consecrated chapel - and an old grotto where Saint Donino is said to have contemplated life. This house has soul, is very old and been renovated to honor its past as well as adding in some of today's comforts - private pool, wifi etc. Close to Citta di Castello, Assisi and other historic towns, it provides a great location with true peacefulness. Great for the summer, but also in spring and autumn - where the colours and light are fantastic.

Significant time has been placed into retrofitting solutions to take the property's carbon emissions to zero and possibly into positive territory, subject one's purity in classifying emissions. Photovoltaic panels (PV) provides electricity (17kW) in the day, with the surplus generated powering a lead acid battery bank - which provides power at night or on cloudy days.

The house has an Electric Vehicle (EV) charger - which comes off the PV panels.

Solar panels (8kW) provides hot water in the sunny months (April - late Oct), then a wood pellet burner takes over. The house also has woodburners for the winter, hence my comment on purity of how one measures emissions, as technically burning wood and wood pellets are seen as a neutral emission.

The house has wooden shutters and rugs over doorways to try and maintain insulation in the winter months.

Water is used from a lake (garden) and from a well (house), and as much minimization procedures have been put in place as possible, so this is not a property of green lawns in the summer.

Fabulous hilltop Villa
We loved the house and setting. The rooms were nicely furnished and comfortable, with everything we needed for a large family group with both toddlers and infants. The views across the valley were stunning. The pool was a good size. A great place to unwind.

What a wonderful time
Myself and my group all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Uwe and his wife were lovely and very welcoming the property itself is stunning and the surroundings and views are incredible. Getting to and from which is something had to do a lot due to family plans is a bit of a mission but if we had been able to just sit and enjoy the location is beautiful. The property is so homely and comfortable and suited as perfectly with the mixed group of guests we had, also William has been from start to finish of the booking and stay very accommodating. The only issue was that the water pressure and showers aren’t the best and sometimes had barely a trickle on the ground floor shower and the upstairs one fill lots of the room with water when used but is more powerful. The bathrooms themselves are beautiful. All in all I would definitely go back and would definitely recommend it to friends and family. Many thanks Rosanna

Italian history in the Umbrian countryside
The house is enormous, with outdoor eating not far from the house and a pool. It’s lovely in many ways - lots of stone, history, and beautiful furnishings. It‘s peaceful but you need 30 minutes to get to any bigger road. We were disappointed with some of the maintenance issues - peeling paint and plaster, water stains from a dodgy shower (no cabin or curtains) algae in a children’s bedroom, malfunctioning pool umbrellas, etc. There is a fine line between rustic / charming and run-down. However, communication with the owner and the on-site caretaker was no problem and issues were addressed quickly. Overall a nice place for a holiday.

Lovely secluded property away from it all
We had a wonderful time. The house has a magnificent balcony, with stunning views across the Niccone valley, and a delightful dining room for cooler or stormy evenings. We have been renting houses in Italy for nearly 30 years, and one thing we especially enjoyed was the slightly cooler air (and no mosquitos!) up on the hill. If you are looking for easy access to the great cities, churches and sights you will have to program in a 30-45 minute drive. But if you want magnificent views, solitude, and long walks or runs then it is hard to top this place. At night we saw porcupines, deer and wild boar in the forest. Very special. Communications with the owner were first-rate. He was very quick and helpful with any questions or concerns. Highly recommended.
