Exactly as described. An idyllic rural retreat with amazing views across the Tiber Valley within walking distance of a small non-touristy village and with friendly helpful hosts. We wanted peace and quiet for a few days and this is exactly what we got. Casa Avena very functional and has all the amenities you require ! The WiFi works perfectly. Barbecue area and little external pool are amazing. There is 3 TV ( including 1 smart with Netflix ) washing and dishwashing machine. No air conditioning needed a cool breeze from the valley kept the temperature pleasant at night. They also have extra accommodation for biggest group available on request. We are definitely pleased we came and would recommend the location to anyone ! Thank you very much.

This place is truly amazing! The house is of very high standard and the garden, barbecue place are just wonderful. The landlord was also very helpful and supported us massively in organizing tour in Umbria. On request are available many extra services. I can truly recommend Casa Avena ! Thank you.

The view alone is spectacular: though only a few minutes from the E45 autostrada (for Rome, Cortona, Gubbio, Assisi, etc.), there is no sight or sound of this from the house. The owner, Giulia, could not have been nicer, and provided us with simple, clear directions for the 20 minute drive from the airport. Instead, you are surrounded by beautiful green Italian countryside. Casa Avena itself is wonderful: traditional and attractive to the exterior; modern and cosy once inside. With one large master bedroom and a single loft bedroom, the house was perfectly sized for our family. Downstairs, the living quarters are large, open, comfortable and clean. Warm days we spent sunning on the private patio (if you have children, the garden beside it is big enough to kick a football around), and cool nights relaxing inside. (there's Sky TV and Wi-Fi). The kitchen is fully-stocked with everything you might need, including a large fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. As sad as it sounds, the latter was really useful – it's so nice to return home with all your clothes clean! Montone, the nearest town, is tranquil and medieval, and boasts stunning views and several nice restaurants. For our last night, Julia recommended eating at Erba Luna, located in the town's converted horse stables, where my wife and I had the best meal we've had in a long time. All in all, a fantastic holiday, and a place where I look forward to returning.
