We spent 5 excellent days on the farm & exploring Umbria and also partially Tuscany region after our 1st vacation wk in Lazio region.
As this was our 1st visit in Umbria region is was an absolute delight to hear lots of information and tips from Franco and Bozena in advance and during our stay. The place is magnificent, 1st floor apartment was spacious, well equipped, functional and very clean.
The terraces were excellent. Internet connection was fast, swimming pool was great and especially the 3 different cooking nights (25€/person, including guided cooking, lots of food, wine etc.) making pizza, pasta and saffron risotto etc. were the highlights of our stays, as it also allowed us to get familiar with other guests and the hosts in a better way.
Our special thanks goes to other guests as well. It was nice to change opinions, info’s , tips and thoughts about different cultures and other things as well. We’ve been in Italy for 11 times and this was absolutely one of our favourite trips as the hosts and region were so wonderful. Visiting eg. Perugia, Città della Pieve, Cortona, Orvieto, Carraia (Fioroni cashmere outlet in industrial area), Bolsena, Civita di Bagnoregio, Celleno, Viterbo is within easy reach (10-70 minutes), depending how much you want to see during your stay, on your way to the farm & to the airport (eg. Rome).
Perugina chocolate factory was nice to see as addition to arts, culture, churches etc. In Fabro a few kilometers from the farm, there is also a good grocery store (Coop, open from 08:30 - 20:00 Monday-Saturday, closed on Sunday afternoons) and some other good stores & cafeteria.
There were also 2 friendly cats which the guests were able to pet.
The fresh eggs tasted exceptionally well. You can also buy also wines, jam’s, limoncello, saffron, olive oil etc. from the farm.
We could not have asked anything else, this was absolutely a pleasure to visit the farm and enjoy about the hospitality of Franco & Bozena, you are absolutely amazing and we can warmly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy about different kind of visit in Umbria region.
Grazie mille Franco and Bozena, Ci vediamo!
