Spectacular in every way!
Andrea's house is stunningly beautiful, in a gorgeous little town, with a view that is out of this world (olive groves, hilltop Umbrian towns, birds galore, etc.). There is nothing bad about this place - the house is stone and terracotta with a very traditional kitchen, a comfy bed, and two well-appointed bathrooms. There is a TV in every room and they run on Chromecast which allows you to log in to your own accounts (Disney, Prime, Netflix, etc).There is air conditioning, which is absolutely necessary as the house is built into the side of a hill that is in the sun almost all day. And that is why you need the private pool and outdoor shower, with a massive umbrella that shields you from the sun. In the morning (and all day, to be honest) roosters crow, and you can pick the hilltop towns you might want to visit by looking out from the pool (we highly recommend Panicale and Citta della Pieve). This home is so private - we barely saw another human when we were on the pool deck. The town itself has a pharmacy, a bar/cafe, and a mini mart. Nearby there are several supermarkets, and there are restaurants in nearby towns. The shower is fabulous, one of the bathrooms and the kitchen have ancient marble sinks that are super cool, and there is a painting on tiles of the town over the kitchen stove. Behind the house there are two towers, and one of them chimes the time. Advice: Don't arrive at night - the road to the driveway is tiny (we had to pull our side mirrors in) and getting there in the dark was a bit stressful - also, rent a small car! Once you have the hang of the driveway, it's easy peasy. We spent 6 nights here and we cannot wait to return. Andrea told us we were the first Canadians to stay here - I don't think we will be the last as we plan to tell all our friends about this hidden gem.
