Cottage holiday rentals in Umbria

Total relaxation surrounded by greenery. A clean and quiet show

We stayed at the wonderful Fontanaro villa in the village of Paciano, and it was truly a soul-refreshing experience. Lucia is an incredibly caring host, and Pam, who looked after our stay, was a real treasure. She not only provided excellent recommendations on places to visit but also took care of reservations, ensuring we had nothing to worry about. This was not just an ordinary stay; it was a unique experience. We had the opportunity to participate in an olive oil tasting and a cooking class—both activities left an indelible impression. The villa we stayed in was not only stunningly beautiful but also boasted an impressive wine cellar with an extraordinary collection. Overall, our stay at Fontanaro villa exceeded all expectations. It was more than just accommodation—it was an experience we will never forget.

I spent a week with friends at Patrizia's property. The property is nestled in the hills and greenery, in a comfortable enough position to visit nearby Umbria and the magnificent Aretini/Sienese villages. The stay was magnificent: the peace, tranquility and beauty of the context made this experience unique. An ideal place for those looking for relaxation, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Best place to stay in Gubbio

We felt completely comfortable in the house – everything was exactly as described. Antonio and his wife are extremely friendly and helpful. We were able to relax wonderfully and enjoy the holiday to the fullest. The house is highly recommended and we definitely plan to come back. There is much to discover in the area - day trips to Tivoli, Assisi, Perugia, Pienza and Orvieto are particularly worthwhile.

The "il Cottage" accommodation is a lovely two bedroom apartment that is right next to the fortress (which makes it even more evocative). Francesca and Aliek welcomed us with kindness and professionalism, making us feel like we are in our home. Their whole family was very nice and helpful, including dogs, cats, and donkeys who were an unexpected and very enjoyable company for us. The fortress is located in a very quiet area but at the same time close to the main tourist attractions of Umbria easily reachable by car, at most in a couple of hours. Absolutely recommended for both couples and families, or simply for people who love tranquility and beauty .

I was looking for a spacious, comfortable place with pleasant outdoor features. I found it here. Beautiful, rural, Tuscan surroundings, yet only 20 minutes from Cortona: a great hill town of middling size. Plenty of room for 4 - 6 people with very good sleeping arrangements. Convenient kitchen, washer, and furnishings helped make my almost 3 week stay enjoyable. Definitely benefitted by the instructions, you tube video, and good communication. Would certainly consider another stay if in the area again!

Flaminia went out of her way to acommodate us and even helped us with food given our late arrival and that stores would be closed. Appreciate that very much, she was also very flexible and understanding, the natural environment surrounding the house is beautiful and very peaceful.

We truly enjoyed our stay and loved the quiet charm of Gina’s home. Having Dadalo & his lovely mother Nonna cook us dinner was delightful & delicious! We also enjoyed their sweet family dog, Beethoven. Thank you again!

Francesco is a really good host. He speaks perfectly English and is always available. The apartment is nice - it’s like in the description. We had a good time and recommend Francesco.

Daniela’s place was spacious for our family of five. She was there to greet us upon arrival and give us the grand tour. Provided us with nearby attractions, which we attended. Our stay was in October and the pool was ready for us, we had a visit from a cat, whom we named Giuseppe and an indoor fireplace made the house toasty warm. We enjoyed our stay here and would come back.

This is a fantastic place to stay if you are looking for a quiet and relax vacation with breathtaking views. The house is in Cantalena region just 25 minutes away from Cortona. The house is very well maintained, clean and the host Luca is friendly and helpful.

We really enjoyed our stay in Apecchio. Pleasantly beautiful house and nice swimming pool. Friendly welcome!

La Casa di un tempo is a rarity, one of those places that takes you back in time just as the name implies. Perfect for those looking for accommodation surrounded by greenery, in an excellent location for excursions in nature and in the city. Perfect for a vacation with 4-legged friends. Thanks Patrizia for your hospitality!

The house is perfect for 2 families travelling together.

Roberto's place is lovely, clean and comfortable. The surroundings are very beautiful. Excellent location. Roberto is kind and nice. The house allows quiet and privacy and is very convenient to get to the center of Cortona and the other beautiful cities of Tuscany. The beds were a bit hard for us, but we found a solution

Amazing place for a family or friends getaway - lovely host always available to help and support the location is really peaceful and the amazing surroundings make it unique and worth it!

We have visited Alessandro’s place as a group of 6 adults and 3 kids!! Place was very spacious and had a great outdoors seating space as well as ‘games’ room with ping pong table. Pool was great size good for swimming and entertainment. Villa surrounded by great views and it’s up in the heals so therefore much cooler which was amazing during the extreme heat in Italy. Alessandro thank you sooo much for fantastic time!! We will be back ❤️

Lovely place with a magnificent outdoor terrace and stunning views. We basically lived outside. Francesca and Ludovico are warm and generous people who will make you feel right at home. We loved our time there.

Our sty was wonderful, we had the peaceful location we were looking for, the kids found the space, playground, and animals to play with, the hoist Francesca and here mum were lovely with us, providing some local treats, felt really like home and having family members care. Place worth to visit with or without kids we really loved this place and will be pleased to do the experience again. Thanks for all.

This was the loveliest Airbnb stay I've ever had. I spent five days in July. For Americans who may deterred by the lack of air conditioning, I will offer that this was during an intense heatwave, but I slept very comfortably due to the cool bedrooms set back into the hillside. Grocery was convenient and the kitchen had absolutely everything I needed to use local ingredients for dinner Al fresco every night. The property included much private outdoor space, the view of orvieto and the vineyards, access to a large pool, and even a very friendly and delightful little donkey. Would give six stars if I could!
