Beautiful villa - we'll be back!

We spent a wonderful two weeks in this beautiful villa with its amazing pool. Everything was clean on arrival and well provisioned. The villa’s surroundings are tranquil with picturesque hilltop towns from twenty minutes drive away. Everyone we met was so friendly and helpful, from the sommelier at the wine tasting, to the housekeeper and gentlemen who looked after the grounds. We especially appreciated Margherita who helped us, gave ideas of where to visit and booked restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Perfect relaxing Summer vacation

We have just returned from 2 months at this property, close to Fabro Scalo. The villa and its amenities were perfectly described, a charming rustic renovated farmhouse with essential air conditioning, a private pool and a fully equipped kitchen. Location wise a car is essential, as there are so many beautiful and charming places to visit within a 1hour radius. The property management were super efficient, always available and helpful but never intrusive. With extremely helpful advice on places to go, entertainment and festival opportunities in the area.

Great week enjoying the Umbrian countryside

We had a great week enjoying the Podere Marone. The pool was a great hit and we spent a lot time enjoying it. The house is lovely and well equipped - the views stunning from the pool and house. Margherita was incredibly helpful and offered lots of local advice and tips when needed. The local town of Fabro has some shops and restaurants but we had to travel further afield some nights to find the food we wanted. Our only negative comments were that the beds were uncomfortable!

Lovely stay

Very friendly and helpful owner and crew. The house has lots of privacy, a beautiful garden and a swimming pool that is already open per the 1st of May. Being able to stream (Netflix, Disney etc) was also enjoyable. The house has lots of mountain bikes and a table tennis table all of which we used frequently. The house itself felt a bit chilly due to the weather conditions early May (but there is airco to warm the house). We loved our stay and would recommend to go here. We found it especially convenient to visit Orvieto. Thank you Valentina for your hospitality. Ciao Wouter & Family

Perfect stay in the beautiful Italian countryside

This stay was perfect from start to finish. Margarita was the perfect host and greeter. We arrived to a beautiful and tasty cake, wine, bread and all the kitchen needs you can think of. Communication was consistent and so very helpful. We do not typically travel back to the same area twice but this villa would make me change that habit. Enough space to comfortably sleep 6 people, plenty of outdoor lounging areas, the pool was amazing and so clean. We ventured out on our own for a few days visiting the nearby hilltop towns (piece of advice, go to the lake and take the boat to the nearby island..spend the day there). For the days we spent at home, we lounged by the pool, rode bikes and hired a personal chef (Anna). Best food we ate in Italy! She was a must hire and so very sweet!! We visited the vineyard that the family owns and operates. This was also an amazing experience. We had a full tasting of some great wines. Yes...come to this villa for a excellent stay but honestly...come to this villa to experience this AMAZING staff. From start to finish they make this stay out of this world and everything we hoped it would be.Thank you all!!!

Absolutes Paradies

Wir (Familie mit Teenagern und Nonna) durften hier eine wundervolle Woche verbringen. Vom warmen Empfang durch die liebe Valentina, über das traumhafte Haus mit Pool und tollem (dezentem aber sehr gründlichem) Poolservice, Ausflugstipps von Margherita war alles einfach nur perfekt! Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet, im Kühlschrank und Vorratsschrank ist alles Nötige für den erste Tag, sogar Poolhandtücher werden gestellt, die Sonnenuntergänge sind ein Traum, der Pool ebenso...alle sind super freundlich und doch hat man seine Ruhe, ist aber von hier aus schnell überall. Danke an alle von Podere Marone!!! Es war so schön!! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Stunning views and charming property

We received a great welcome at Podere Marone and were stunned by the amazing setting of the house and the beautiful views! Good location for trips to towns like Orvieto and Perugia and close to good supermarket in the village. Pool is very nice and is being cared for daily. Charming outdoor terrace with a cover for shade and a great view of a Castello on the hill! Good bicycles available to do some up&downhill tours. We were also able to charge our electric car next to the house. Margherita the property manager is very nice and offered great service and communication. The owner Mr Calabresi came to say hello and was a very kind gentleman who has kept this old farmhouse well, while preserving all of its charm! Fantastic stay, this is how you would want to experience your genuinely charming stay in Umbria!

Perfect holiday home

What a perfect holiday we spend in this house. It’s so private and has splendid views all around. A great pool, which is being cleaned every morning. Communication: perfect. Margherita was extremely kind and doing anything to make our stay more comfortable and pleasant. Checking in and out with Valentina went also very smooth. Absolutely loved everything, except maybe the beds…. Uncomfortable to us, but that could be personal. The house was very well equipped and anything you could want was present. Would love to come back. The region was so gorgeous, could easily have spend a few more weeks here…

Soggiorno incantevole.

Posto incantevole. Villa in campagna con piscina. Ci siamo trovati benissimo, abbiamo apprezzato molto la piscina (pulita e sistemata ogni mattina) e il tavolo da pranzo sotto il portico con una vista bellissima sulla campagna umbra. Unica pecca i letti che sarebbero da rinnovare perché non molto comodi. Per il resto c’e tutto il necessario, ben equipaggiata per due famiglie con bambini. Inoltre ti mettono a disposizione (a pagamento) le bottiglie di vino della loro cantina. Tutti i dipendenti e le persone che ci hanno accolto sono stati molto gentili e disponibili.

Perfekte Location

Podere Marone liegt sehr günstig, wenn man an Kultur interessiert ist: Orvieto, Perugia, Siena, Arezzo, Assisi etc. sind gut innerhalb einer Stunde mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Und es liegt günstig, wenn man an gutem umbrischen Essen interessiert ist. Der Empfang war herzlich und die Betreuung während des Aufenthalts perfekt. Der Pool war super gepflegt (jeden Morgen kam jemand und sah nach dem Rechten), das Haus war sauber, alles vorhanden, was man für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt benötigt, die technische Ausstattung hat einwandfrei funktioniert (WLAN, Fernsehen, Klimaanlage). Die Betten sind vielleicht etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber das hat den Gesamteindruck keineswegs beeinträchtigt. Wir können das Haus und die Gastgeber mit Nachdruck empfehlen.

Air co en supplément mais nous n’en avons pas eu besoin malgré les très fortes chaleurs. Seules petites ombres au tableau: odeur de l’eau pour la douche qui mériterait un petit système de filtration et pas d’accés direct de la cuisine vers la terrasse. Un superbe séjour!

Adorable, well equipped charming old farmhouse

Our family of four stayed here for a week in hot July. What an adorable sanctuary Podere Marone was after several days in hectic Rome! We enjoyed very much the fully air conditioned house (pleasantly cool) and lovely large pool from the bottoms of our hearts. Property is truly private and the views are stunning!! Kitchen is well equipped and nearby village has couple of nice shops to buy groceries. Despite of great variety of restaurants in the area, we made most of our meals in the house because it was so much fun. Property Manager Margherita was super helpful prior and during our stay, we were impressed about the extraordinary warm service. Recommending the tour at Muro Grosso and Castello di Montegiove Margherita arranged for us! Special thank you for the pool maintenance and gardening - the gentlemen arrived discretely each the morning (parking even their car down the hill not to wake us!) and worked without sparing their effort for our convenience.

Fantastic summer holiday

We had a wonderful summer holiday at Podere Marone and the property was perfect for our family of four (two small children) plus one set of in-laws. The location is beautiful and quiet and very private. A car is a necessity to get around in this area. Fabro has the basics but there are plenty of beautiful towns in driving distance (Orvieto and Citta della Pieve in particular). Margherita was wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble from sorting out a few things to do with the house to organising a wine tour to organising a very special dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Margherita’s fluent English made up for our lousy Italian and allowed us to check and confirm a few things to make our time more efficient. Deborah who popped up to the house if we needed something was also great. In summary, a fantastic holiday and great combination of pretty Umbrian villa, lovely, private grounds and pool with beautiful rolling scenery and excellent customer service.

Really charming site, view, and accomodations, but uneven

The house is situated in a beautiful site, and the views are lovely. Fabro scalo is situated in a terrific area for sight-seeing in Umbria, Toscana or Lazio. The house is comfortable, and the pool in full sunlight, so even in September, (although the water is a bit chilly) the area is warm enough to enjoy the sun and the swimming. Included in the rental are some bicycles, which can be used on some of the foot/bike paths near by as well. The house itself has three large bedrooms, and the master bedroom is en suite. The othe two bedrooms share a bath, andare comfortable enough, but the beds are small (in one room the twin beds were 31.5 inches in width, so quite narrow for full grown adults. The manager mentioned that the matresses were to be replaced, which is good as they are not all that comfortable. The house itself is situated one flight up from the ground level, and is not all on the level. One of the bedrooms is down three steps, one bedroom is up one step and the bathroom is down one step. I mention this because it is quite easy to forget, and trip over the step, as one of our group did. Warning strips need to be placed on these steps for safetly. The kitchen is adequately supplied, but could use some more utensils, especially for those who intend to go to the nearby weekly markets so that they can cook. Dishes and cutlery for eating are ample, but knives for cutting up meat and vegetables are sparse. All in all we had a very enjoyable vacation, and found the house comfortable and the area really interesting with plenty to do. We did have some problems, including difficulty with WiFi which the property manager tried to resolve as best as possible. I would also say to be cautious about the issue of air conditioning and its cost. We did not use the units, but somehow the meter indicated that we had used it. To be on the safe side, I would hand the property manager the controllers to the units upon arrival, so that you can prove that you did not use the units since you would not have access to them. The house was cleaned once a week as promised, and fresh towels provided at the same time. The waher works well and the dishwasher is new. It was a bit annoying, however, to find we had to supply dishwashing liquid and dishwasher soap as well as toilet paper. Having recently rented a house in Mexico for a month with all of this supplied, it was a bit surprising to find the cleaning products were to be supplied by us.

Beatiful views, lovely spacious gardens and pool, really friendly hosts, accomodation slightly basic

We had a great time, and really enjoyed the spacious gardens, views and pool. Plenty of shade by the pool and lots of sunbeds/chairs, even toys and inflatables.The air con in the house was a godsend, though quite expensive, and there was good wifi. The accomodation was slightly basic, very clean, but the beds were not comfortable (apparently new mattresses are on order) and we had a few problems with the fusebox tripping and dishwasher not working well that the hosts were very helpful in diagnosing and fixing/replacing. Margarita the agent was lovely, friendly and helpful, fluent english speaker. Deborah the lady who met us and did cleaning was also great. Had a great morning out at the vinyard and wine cellar. Was good to have bikes available for rides - though they needed a bit of TLC - again, when we asked the hosts they got spare parts etc. Accomodation up on first floor meant lots of going up and down the main stairs as the covered verandah and BBQ are on ground floor, might not be not ideal for very young kids or those with mobility challenges. Access is via a fairly steep gravelly drive, which was a challenge for my parents with a caravan, but the hosts arranged a 4x4 to pull it up - nothing was too much trouble for them. While we were there there was a festa di contadina in the village Fabro Alto which was good fun. It is 10-15 mins to walk into Fabro Alto and not the most attractive Umbrian village, though there are lovely places nearby. I would say a car is a must. It is well placed for a visit though, with a train station with regular trains to Rome or Florence or elsewhere and near the main A1. Orvieto is nearby and gorgeous, as was Citta Della Pieve. Some lovely countryside places to eat fairly nearby too. Overall a lovely week.

Amazing place

Thanks to property location, equipement, spacious house, wonderful pool area me and my family spent amazing two weeks in Umbria, special attention and thanks to Margherita and Deborah, welcome package and cake :O), during our stay we enjoyed beautiful sunny days (that views to surrounding hills !) and marvelous evenings with sunset views from private patio. Really special place ! Important is that property is very close to main roads including Autostada del Sol, train station (we made trip to Rome) and close to Fabro Scalo village with all what You need, supermarket, bars, pizza, coffee ... We visited Azienda one day and bought couple bottles of local vines produced in this place now we may think about Umbria during testing Thanks to the owners for this wonderfull place Waldemar

Special Place

Ideally located in the Umbrian countryside, the Villa is only minutes away from major roads that give you easy access to great destinations all around. We took full advantage of this and enjoyed the quiet of the villa when relaxing after our excursions. It's spacious and comfortable with wonderful views of the surrounding hills.

Fantastic stay

The property has fabulous views from all angles. The pool is very private and the views of the surroundings while swimming are lovely. The house is located on a hill which made the views spectacular. We were very welcome by Debora and Margherita who kindly brought us a delicious cake during her visit. We had the chance to meet the owner who was a charming gentleman. They were all very attentive to our needs and very responsive. The house was very comfortable and well- equipped. It is close to Fabro Scalo which has shopping facilities, a few bars and restaurants. Definitely no need to travel far to eat out and have a drink with the locals. I would recommend to friends. We had a really wonderful two weeks.

Fantastique !

Nous avons passé une semaine du 20 au 27 aout 2016 dans cette magnifique propriété, loin de l'agitation des grandes villes et du littoral mais tout de même très accessible car très proche de l'échangeur d'autoroute (5min en voiture) ou de la gare (2min en voiture ou 15min à pieds). La maison, superbe, toute en pierres et couverte de vigne vierge est très ancienne mais superbement restaurée avec beaucoup de goût. Le confort est total tout en gardant un caractère très authentique. Plafonds hauts, poutres apparentes, pergolas, climatisation dans toutes les pièces, superbe piscine entretenue chaque jour, 4 VTT, un terrain dont les limites sont à perte de vue dans la colline, que demander de plus, un vrai paradis ! Tranquillité assurée, mais très proche de toutes les commodités (centre ville où on trouve de tout à 2min de voiture et 10min à pieds). Pérouse, Sienne, Orvieto, Assise et toute l'Ombrie (magnifique) et même Rome sont ainsi accessibles rapidement. La villa est immergée dans une propriété agricole et viticole de plusieurs hectares, le vin qui y est produit et que l'on peut déguster et acheter un peu plus loin est délicieux. Que dire de nos hôtes qui organisent l'arrivée et le départ ? Margherita, Debora ainsi que le propriétaire du domaine sont charmants, disponibles et accueillants. Petit resto (La Locanda dei Desideri) dans un château médiéval à 1 minute de la maison en voiture : délicieux avec truffes et cèpes en quantité pour un prix plus que raisonnable... En bref : à recommander vivement !

Toplocatie om te genieten in een oase van rust en ontspanning.

Een aanrader ! Zeer mooi gelegen, gerenoveerd, proper landhuis. Is volgens mij zelfs beter dan de omschrijving op de website. De staf staat dag en nacht paraat om uw verblijf 100 % geslaagd te maken. Betere opvolging en service bestaat er volgens mij niet in deze categorie verhuringen. Mooie en rustige omgeving en zalig om in alle rust te genieten aan het zwembad of 's morgens en s'avonds onder de patio waar het wat koeler en aangenaam vertoeven is. Een aanrader voor wie op zoek is naar een rustige en zorgeloze vakantie weg van alle drukte. De eigenaar produceert ook 3 wijnen. Ik raad aan om ook eens naar zijn proeverij te gaan. Op aanvraag op 2 km, ligt allemaal op hetzelfde landgoed. Er zijn 3 Kamers, een aandachtspunt is wel dat de airco op 1 van e 3 kamers niet goed functioneert voor wie dit belangrijk zou vinden. Als dit landhuis op je shortlist staat moet je niet twijfelen!
