About this house rental
Dating from the 12C, this borgo is perched at 700m looking down into the Niccone Valley and onto The Reschio Estate. The main house has 7 double bedrooms, 2 drawing rooms, open fire places, a large dining room and fantastic views. The borgo (collection of farmhouses) has a dedicated pool (open from June to Sept), a stand alone - non-consecrated chapel - and an old grotto where Saint Donino is said to have contemplated life.
This house has soul, is very old and been renovated to honor its past as well as adding in some of today's comforts - private pool, wifi etc. Close to Citta di Castello, Assisi and other historic towns, it provides a great location with true peacefulness. Great for the summer, but also in spring and autumn - where the colours and light are fantastic.
Significant time has been placed into retrofitting solutions to take the property's impact to minimal. Solar water, photovoltaic, batteries etc are in place. No fertilisers, herbicides and or sprays are used on the land.
There is a substantial veg garden - with orchards.
Water is used from a lake (garden) and from a well (house), and as much minimization procedures have been put in place as possible, so this is not a property of green lawns in the summer.
Lastly, the map on this site showing the house location is slightly inaccurate. The house should be between San Leo Bastia and Lisciano Niccone - and on the Umbrian-Tuscan border.

The house is really nice and well organize. The view is incredible on all the region.
One or two points need to be improved.
The outside table on the terrasse is only with 6 chairs and the house is for 16 people. The kitchen is the only room where you may make some renovation. And last point to improve, need to explain that the water is only dricable in the kitchen !!
For all the reste the house is incredible and the person living next to the house, really helpfull.
Imporant to know that the house is far from everything, in the nature, but need to take you car for everything.
Again great relaxing stay.

Gorgeous location, but not easily accessible. Lots of room, but, in cooler weather, difficult to utilize all the spaces. We loved Uwe, the caretaker, who bent over backwards to help us with everything. Maybe a summer trip would be a better choice .

Everything was as described. The detailed info sheet was very helpful. The communication with William was very good and Uwe was the best host. We loved staying there.
Would definitely recommend this house to everyone who is not afraid of scorpios and spiders.

A wonderful rural retreat from which Perugia Assisi Cortona and many beautiful historic Umbrian and Tuscan towns and villages are easily explored. The borgoo is a calm oasis set high on the Umbrian hills with stunning views over the beautiful Niccone valley. It is warm and welcoming with large airy rooms and a typical country kitchen with modern appliances and every kitchen utensil you could imagine. The guardian knows the area well and is friendly helpful and an invaluable source of local knowledge. The owner is very helpful and really wants his guests to enjoy Umbria as much as he does. We had a lovely week exploring the area and returning "home" to San Lorenzo often to delicious locally prepared meals. These can be ordered in advance and delivered or cooked in situ by a delightful local lady. Absolutely amazing to have a dinner served in the baronial dining room after a tiring day of sightseeing! The guardian was also able to shop locally before our arrival. in an adjacent valley is an authentic family run pizzeria which deserves more than the one visit we managed!We had a wonderful week of exploration and relaxation and are already very much looking forward to our return to San Lorenzo next year
