Lovely

Very comfortable home in a beautiful rural location, amazing sunsets every evening viewed from the terrace. Pool small but perfect for a dip to cool off!

Perfect way to learn about real Italian life

This was my first visit to Italy and I must say that I am delighted that I spent my entire week at Casa Rosa, visiting the small towns of Umbria. The house is stunning, the gardens luscious and fragrant draped in jasmine and offering all the cherries you could pick. The kitchen is perfect; I had the pleasure of cooking a dinner for Sharri and Piero. Most importantly, I learned more about real Italian life this week than I ever could have scurrying feverously from one Roman monument to the next. I am already planning a return to Casa Rosa next year, this time with my grandsons.

A perfect Italian vacation!

This was the fifth time that we've stayed at La Casa Rosa; we love it more each time. The house is just lovely. Situated on a small road outside of San Terenziano, it affords privacy and convenient access to the nearby town. The house itself is in excellent condition with spacious rooms and comfortable furniture throughout, although we preferred spending as much time as possible on the outdoor patio with its stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The house has a full kitchen and we are always torn between preparing a simple supper there and eating on the patio or going to one of the wonderful local restaurants. Sharri and Piero are wonderful hosts. They responded immediately whenever we asked for help and they offered lots of suggestions for things to do and places to eat, even making reservations for us when we needed them. Our favorite restaurant is Le Noci in nearby Grutti; the food is superb. San Terenziano is an excellent central location to visit the major attractions in the area. This trip we visited Assisi, Perugia, Montefalco, Foligno, Todi, and Bevagna. On previous trips we also went to Orvietto, Lake Trasimeno, Norcia, Trevi, and numerous other Umbrian towns. We're particular fans of Umbrian wines, especially the reds, and there are many wineries in the area where you can stop by for a wine tasting. If you're a fan of chocolate, be sure to take a tour of the Perugina factory outside of Perugia. And the Pardi linens in Montefalco are gorgeous. La Casa Rosa is the perfect place for the perfect Italian vacation.

Beautiful property with stunning views of the Italian countryside

We had a fantastic time here and really felt like we were in the heart of Italy. Despite the feeling of isolation we were still close enough to all amenities such as shops and restaurants but you do need a car. Waking up to the rolling hills is something that will stay with us for a long time. The only slight downside was the size of the pool which was more of a plunge pool. We have three children who wanted to spend a lot of time in the pool but it wasn't really big enough. They did however make the best of it and we all still had a great time.

This is a wonderful, rural retreat with spectacular views. The villa is a gem.

The breathtaking mountains and sunsets make this a memorable place to stay. The villa is both comfortable and thoughtfully decorated and equipped. Sharri is a thoughtful and warm host who wants to ensure your visit is the best it can be, she is a source of useful local information and is happy to book restaurnt reservations for those of us with limited Italian! There is much to be explored and enjoyed locally. I would happily recommend this as a place to stay in unspoilt Umbria.

About the host

Hosted by Piero De Masi

We grow olives and love living on a quiet country lane, just a few hundred meters from La Casetta Rosa. I'm happy to welcome our guests personally and to provide suggestions and help when needed. I love sharing my favorite place in the world with guests. I speak English, Italian, French and Spanish well and can communicate a little in German and Dutch.

Why they chose this property

La Casetta Rosa was originally purchased for family, so it was decorated with comfort, tradition and style in mind. I want our guests to feel at home, living the unique Umbrian lifestyle.

What makes this property unique

We are located at almost in the center of Umbria, which means our guests can jump in the car and get to dozens of places to visit for the day. We are close to services -- restaurants, banks, supermarkets, etc. -- but down our country lane there is peace, quiet and relaxation. Here the birds sing and the bees buzz without being drowned out by traffic noise. It's sublime.
