An Oasis of Peace and QuietAs soon as we arrived at "La Casa Del Pastore", we knew our vacation would be nothing less than magical. Yes, the road was rough but worth it! And, with patience and daily practice, the ride was very manageable.The house was perfect in size for the two of us, tastefully furnished with a well-equipped kitchen featuring the best set of knives we ever had in any vacation rental.It was very hot during our stay, and while the cottage has ceiling fans in every room, it stayed pleasantly cool for us that we never turned them on.Manuela and Martin, the owners who live in the main house completely out of view above the cottage, could not have been nicer and were very respectful of our privacy.We wanted to rest and relax, and "La Casa Del Pastore" was the perfect place. We would come back in a heartbeat.

This holiday home is absolutely outstanding! It offers plenty of space, is modern, and beautifully furnished. Everything was spotlessly clean and perfectly equipped – you immediately feel at home. A true highlight is the spacious pool: perfect for relaxing, swimming, and soaking up the sun. Surrounded by stunning nature, the property also boasts breathtaking views that invite you to unwind and enjoy every moment. The quiet location, combined with the easy access to sights and shopping, makes it the perfect getaway. We came from Germany and had a fantastic time and would gladly return – five stars without hesitation!Many thanks and warm regards to our wonderful hosts, Martin and Manuela.

We had an excellent two week stay in this beautiful house, which is accessed down a 1.5km track, and is located in the grounds of the main property but remains secluded. The view from the terrace overlooking the valley is fabulous to wake up to or to watch the sunset behind the hills in the evening and we regularly saw wild boars grazing in the field below in the early evening. On the other side of the property you can see the nearby village of Civitella d’Agliano, which is a 2 km walk and is well worth a visit. The property has been converted to a high standard, is well equipped and very comfortable. The pool area was also excellent and well maintained. We felt entirely at home during our stay and Manuella and Martin could not have been more helpful with advice on restaurants and places to visit whilst not at all intruding. The area itself lies on the beautiful border of Lazio and Umbria with lots of hilltop towns and other places to visit. Orvieto is a 30 minute drive and we also had days out in Perugia and Spoletto as well as trips to closer locations like Lake Bolsena and the UNESCO listed Civita di Bagnoregio. The area itself is very rural and lacks the crowds we have encountered when staying further north into Umbria or Tuscany but a car is essential.We would thoroughly recommend La Casa Pastore at Carpinetta for those wanting a quiet escape.

We were staying at a beautiful house situated on top of a mountain with stunning views. The location was absolutely breathtaking, with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The house itself was spacious and well-appointed, with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The highlight for me was the gorgeous pool, which was the perfect spot for relaxation. The nearby villages were charming and full of character, offering a glimpse into local life and culture. I enjoyed exploring the narrow streets, browsing the local shops, and trying the delicious cuisine at the quaint cafes and restaurants. Overall, my stay at this mountain-top house was truly unforgettable. The combination of the stunning views, comfortable accommodations, and proximity to charming villages made for a perfect getaway. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and picturesque retreat.
