We were a group of 18 people all related, with 8 young cousins aged 3 - 10. The site is ideal for such a group, with the springboard over the swimming pool a special attraction. Perugia & Assissi were voted best outings, although the myriad sporting activities on site - including a cut down football field for a five a side championship - made for a perfect holiday. The mosquito proof bedroom windows are most efficient, and the warm dry weather a big bonus. We were in time for the blackberry harvest- delicious! Francesca is assisted by a helpful team, and indeed we had two formal dinners courtesy of her chef. Perhaps the security system should be explained to future guests. We had no time to try out the cinema / music system, but did use the WiFi satisfactorily. A big thank you to Francesca - we hope you continue to offer your family home to new visitors.

We had a very good stay at Villa Palazzetti. The house and the rooms are large and comfortable. We were a group of 12 adults and 10 children between 4 and 9 years. The garden is huge. The ideal place for children to play as there is a small forest, a football pitch, a large swimming pool. The house is very well located close to supermarkets and the highway

We have had an amazing stay in Francesca’s palazzetto. We were a party of 4 families with 12 adults and two kids age 11 and 14. The house is nice and big in typical Italian style. The bed rooms were nice and spacious and there was plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen was well equipped and had all we needed. It was perfect with 2 fridges so there was plenty of room for all the cold beverages that are needed in +35 degrees. The pool was absolutely amazing, large in size and with a deep end for diving and jumping in the water. The pool was kept nice and clean by a local pool man and the automatic cleaning system. It was very hot during our stay but the house was nice and cool being a stone house and there are fans in all bed rooms. We used the window shutters to keep the heat out during the day and opened them during the night. There are activity rooms in the basement which we also enjoyed with games of table tennis and pool. The accessories to the pool table could use an upgrate, so could the soccer table but otherwise everything worked well for fun and games. The only thing I would have liked to know before booking is the fact that the pool activites are to be kept at a minimum and very quiet between 2-4 pm due to siesta in the neigbouring houses. We managed but we had to plan around it. All in all we had a fantastic week and would like to visit the palazzetto again to explore even more of the beautiful sorroundings. Thanks Francesca, you are a perfect host 🙏

We had the best weekend staying at this property - it was even better than the photos suggested. From the beginning, Francesca has been a great host and the communication has been perfect. Everything you need is here. Highly recommended!

The large house was great for our large party of adults. All the bedrooms are very spacious and there is plenty of room to find time to yourself when you need to. The pool is really good and was cleaned every morning before anyone was up. The gardens are also very large with a badminton area, a football area and a pétanque area as well as the pool and large outside table for dining. It would have been better had we had cushions on the plastic garden chairs and sun beds. Francesca was very quick to respond to any queries. I asked if there were any hairdryers and she bought a couple to ensure they were there for us. Although Francesca had messaged me before I made the booking to say that gas and electricity was an additional cost at 1Euro a Kw it was a shock to find out at the end of the one week that we had incurred a bill of 180 euros. We didn’t think we had been excessive in our usage but maybe the water heating is very expensive. The main downside it has to be said is the local barking dogs through most of the night. The cockerels we could have coped with but there were some very angry dogs nearby that seemed to sleep all day and bark most of the night. It meant many of us did not get much sleep. It is such a shame because the property and location is really good. Perugia and the really beautiful town of Assisi is close by and there is a lovely restaurant within walking distance.

We meet up as a group of 4 families every year and the consensus was this was the best villa we’ve had. Positives - Owner and her family/helpers were lovely. Always contactable and helpful on arranging things for us. During our stay we had chef’s service twice from the owner’s cousin which was simply spectacular. We are talking top, top food made with an incredible amount of passion. Great price too, highly recommended. They also arranged babysitting which went off without a hitch, lovely people. The house itself is gorgeous. Oozing with history and atmosphere. Personally I thought the outside was the best bit - swimming pool is easily the best we’ve had with a great slide and diving board, gardens and football pitch were lovely. Inside the house is huge and very good for families. Beds are pretty comfy, there’s no air con but the house generally keeps quite cool. Furnishings are on the antique-side which really makes the place feel like something out of a period drama. It has so much character. Location is perfect. We went to the amazing little vineyard next door - Cantina Brugnoni - twice and it’s a lovely place to taste some wines and relax on their terrace. Locanda dei Golosi is a 10 minute walk away and was a revelation - we ate there on 4 different nights as it was so good for kids and the food was amazing. Perugia itself is handy for shopping/a night out (taxis were fine to take us back) plus loads of other towns nearby. The local area is beautiful and amazing to walk around and enjoy nature. Negatives - So few as this place is great. - kitchen is well equipped but - like a couple of the bathrooms- could do with just a little updating. Very minor though. - house is generally v cool but on a boiling night a fan would be helpful so we bought a few for the villa. Owner was kind enough to reimburse us. - nothing to do with the owner but the local guard dogs can be really annoying at night. Given how lovely the area is I’m amazed they are needed. Overall This place is wonderful and I highly, highly recommend it to families or groups of friends. The location is spectacular and the house and outside space is first class. You won’t regret booking!

We had an amazing week with 12 adults and 12 children between 3 and 10 years old. The house, swimming pool and plot was ideal for a this large gathering of good friends. We will probably return.

What a wonderful house to spend a holiday in. We had 14 people and the house accommodated us with ease. Made very welcome by Francesca and everything was perfect for us. Wonderful house, gardens and pool. With great restaurant within walking distance when we wanted to eat out. Really hope to return in the future. Ralph and Susie Bell
