Simply stunning property with amazing views
Wow! Was the reaction from the family when we arrived at Casa del Prete. The plot is so spacious and the views are incredible. The house is stunning, it has been beautifully restored with modern fixtures yet retains its charm. It’s even better than it looks in the photos. The spaces are so sociable both inside and out. As the weather was hot we spent most evenings eating (bbq) and drinking outside in the pool area. We visited Cortina and Castiglione, both around a 45 minute drive, and spent a couple of evenings in the local restaurants recommended by the owners. The local Tavern in San Leo has great pizzas at such reasonable prices. When we came home from the restaurants the family couldn’t wait to play darts and table tennis. We could have stayed so much longer. Philippa was so helpful and accommodating and Elsa was on hand for anything we needed. We had the best family holiday in the most wonderful home. We are so grateful we could share it for a while. We couldn’t recommend Casa del Prete highly enough.

Beautiful and quiet stay
We had a lovely stay in this beautiful home! The property is stunning and the views are exquisite. The location definitely requires an SUV to access, there are some windy dirt roads. All amenities worked well (the pool was closed for the winter) We had some issues with the wifi but Phillippa was extremely responsive and attentive. Would come again for a holiday.

Wonderful Christmas break!
We really enjoyed our stay in this beautifully restored house. It's very modern inside and exceptionally well equipped - we cooked at home every day, including Christmas dinner, and had everything we could possibly need. The bedrooms are large, warm, and comfortable and the bathrooms are spacious and modern with excellent showers. There are two living areas with huge sofas so there's lots of space for everyone to spread out, which our teenagers appreciated! Everything was spotlessly clean and any questions we had were quickly answered by the caretaker or owner. The house is perched on a hill overlooking the valley with stunning views - if you're looking for peace and quiet, this is the perfect place to stay. We would definitely recommend this lovely property and would stay again in a heartbeat Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us, we had a perfect Christmas!

Amazing views, history and modern features
Welcoming and all the features needed for a week in the country. The kitchen, bathrooms and furnishings were comfortable, clean and new/well maintained condition. Appreciated plastic drink ware for pool and loads of glassware for inside. Plenty of room inside and out for a group to be together or have a quiet moment to relax. Stocked with books, games and radio/DVD player for good entertaining. Fans in room made for cool nights without AC. We found traveling the road south of house much easier on the car and passengers rather than driving in from north/San Leo Bastia on gravel pitted road. The views of the hill ridge lines make up for the ride. We enjoyed ping ping from the balcony and chilly evenings in the billiards room. Our only hiccup was a lack of hot water for showers which was quickly fixed that day. Believe a rain storm power flicker caused this. Lovely garden with a cheery tree, loads of lavender and olive trees. While houses are nearby and we briefly met the farmer next door (with horse Emily and dogs Tango and Jacko), this place is secluded. Very few passing cars. The gated entry provides nice security. Really well appointed escape! Thanks for sharing with us!

Stunning property with lovely interior rooms and style and world beating panoramic view
This is a glorious place to stay if you like being up in the hills. Superb views and a wonderful pool area. All amenities including broadband and a modern kitchen. House is 10 mins frm a bar/cafe and small store. Most restaurants are 20 to 30 mins drive. The interesting medieval towns are about an hour away but lovely. Locals are very friendly and the whole feel of the area is wonderfully relaxed. Prices very reasonable too.

Perfect hideaway for a Christmas/New Year break
We loved being in a "home away from home" this Christmas - the well-equipped kitchen and amazing fireplace made for the perfect hideaway - great food, log fires and lots of relaxation. We are able to log in to Netflix (great for the teenagers) and had many rounds of pool and darts on wet days. The weather is quite mixed at this time of year and the clear bright days were spent exploring the area more fully. The house is pretty high up so bring a camera if you want to get some incredible morning shots above the cloud - such a beautiful way to start the day. The house caters for every need so it felt like home in many ways. Communication with the owners was simple and the locals are extremely friendly - cannot recommend this property highly enough.
