Absolutely fantastic place. Amazing view, very child friendly (for teens as well - very important) with all kinds of toys and wifi/games. Ramonas mum showed up with an delicious tiramisu one evening and was always approachable with info or tips of the area. We would definitely consider coming back!

The Villa Ramona is just a dream. We were about 13 people and spent a week there. There were enough beds and sofabeds for all of us and a lot of space inside and outside the house. Its a beautiful area for a long hike, wine tasting etc. and there are a quite a few beautiful castles and cities not too far. The pictures are exactly as it is, we were all stunned when we arrived. The Kitchen is well equipped, the place is tidy and Ramona's parents who kept the pool clean and showd us around are very uncomplicated and helped us a lot. Ramona and her Parents are great hosts. Ramona is allways very kind, responds very fast and speaks four different languages. Her parents who are living close by look after the place and for their guests. They speak only a little english but they're very kind and helpful, and their restaurant is highly recommendable! Thank you for everything, we'll come again! Stefan and friends

This villa is outstanding!!! The views are breathtaking, the pool divine and the space enormous. Upstairs there is one bedroom, bathroom, lounge and kitchen with a balcony overlooking the lake. The middle level has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, large living room and a laundry out the back. This level leads out to the pool area. The third level had 2 king bed, 2 bathrooms and seating area. There is so much to do as well. They had a diving board, basketball ring, table tennis, PS4, lilo's pool toys. Our kids were in heaven. We were met by Ramona's mum who could not have been more helpful. One of our party had to drop a hire car back to Perugia on the first night and they followed him out there and drove him back which was a lovely gesture. She also dropped in during the week to check on things and brought us a fresh made Tirmasu. Leaving was very hard!!!!!!

Thank you so much Liviana, Mauro and Ramona! We had such a great time at beautiful Villa Ramona. The Villa is as amazing if not more as in the photos. The view is simply stunning and the garden has it all. You really feel you do not have to go anywhere. The garden has a ping pong table, basketball hoop, toys, swings, hammock and plenty of different seating arrangements. The communication before and during our visit was very good and Ramona always answered quickly to any of my questions and she was always very helpful. We are a family from Australia with 3 children, aged 8, 6 and 4 and we met my Swedish family at the Villa. In total 8 people staying in the house. We where met by Ramona's lovely parents and what a welcome: amazing fresh cut flowers, huge fruit platter, chocolates, drinks and prosecco nicely chilled in the fridge. The house was very clean and as we stayed 2 weeks we got the house cleaned once in the middle of our stay. It was very professionally done and we even received fresh flowers again which was lovely. The pool was cleaned almost every morning and leaves kept off the pool area before we woke up. Liviana also came by a couple of times just to drop off some home made gelato, which was a very nice touch. We also arranged for a special night where Liviana cooked a beautiful 4 course meal for us and a sommelier came so we could taste some great local wines. Liviana catered for gluten free and fussy children on top of the 4 course meal with nothing but a smile on her face. Highly recommend to have this arranged. We highly recommend Villa Ramona to anyone, it will suit small and big groups of people and families with children. It is very child friendly and we will definitely come back one day. Malin with family

Villa Ramona was amazing, better than the photos. We loved the sunsets over the lake and in the day the view was stunning too. The garden, grounds and pool were beautiful. There was a huge platter of fruit on arrival, some of which picked from the garden. We initially found it hard to find as the actual villa was not signposted although Via San Cristopolto is easy to locate! Anyway, that was soon forgotten when everyone saw the villa and couldn't believe how lovely it was. The villa was the perfect location to see Tuscany (Montepulicano and Cortona were highlights) and Umbria. We also took the short boat trip to the islands on the lake which were gorgeous. We wish we had gone over there for a dinner and got the last ferry back! Ramona;s mother was very helpful and lovely during our stay and we had food delivered to the villa a few nights from their restaurant so we didn't have to cook! We would definitely stay again. Thanks for a great holiday.

This place was over what we expected . It was such a good place that it made us all want to learn Italian and go back there! Ramona is the ultimate host and helped us to connect to a local white truffle hunter to take us to experience it. She also helped us to find fisherman for fishing tour and the best part is her mom! She is the sweetest Italian lady, she brought us fresh eggs from their farm and cocked a five star dinner for us for a bit extra money( VERY AFFORDABLE) I will recommend Ramona place for all of you. Thanks again for beautiful vacation

Les vacances à la villa Ramona, c’est une carte postale d la Dolce Vita. Charme, confort, attentions délicates et situation font de ce lieu une parenthèse de rêve. Les visites des différentes villes sont d’une simplicité et d’une proximité assez incroyable. La petite station balnéaire lacustre de Passignano est à l’image de ce que tout à chacun peut imaginer de l’Italie.

Excelente comunicación con Don Gaetano, Trasimeno es un lugar espectacular, sobre todo para los amantes de la historia.

Excelentes anfitriones con la mejor disposición

Gaetano y Gousi los mejore anfitriones, muy amables y hospitalarios, su cocina fue una sorpresa, (URL HIDDEN) informacion y datos que me proporcionaron hicieron que el viaje sea maravilloso, un lugar espectacular a orillas del lago Trasimeno,

Это лучшее место для умиротворенного отдыха! Потрясающий вид на озеро. Огромное спасибо Gaetano и его жене за лучшее гостеприимство. Настолько прекрасный дом, что Вы точно захотите купить его ;)

The room is very nice and very comfortable. The house is located in a wonderful place. Gaetano and his wife are very kind and ver nice people. We enjoyed so much !

Gaetano è giusy ci hanno accolto nella loro bellissima casa con vista lago, sono stati gentili e disponibili dandoci informazioni utili per il nostro soggiorno. La casa e' molto bella, pulitissima e ben ubicata.ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo

Gaetano è una persona squisita, io e mio figlio Giovanni siamo stati felici di aver potuto conoscere lui e la moglie. Attimi di viaggio e di vita che ci hanno arricchito. La casa è incantevole. Ci siamo sentiti ACCOLTI fin dal primo momento. Conserviamo un legame positivo! Grazie!!! Alla prossima! Lino e Giovanni - Coast to Coast Elba 2016 -

100% we recommend this place to stay! Gaetano was very friendly very helpful and very informative of the surrounding area. Bed was very comfortable and all amenities clean. The access to a terrace is beautiful for breakfast or if you buy food near by to bring back for dinner. The view of the lake is spectacular! Everything is close by, restaurants, supermarket, lake. Lots to see and do! Highly recommend and we will be back! It is a beautiful beautiful home to be honest the photos Gaetano has put up they don't do it justice. It is a must see place!

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Casa Castalda was perfect for our family of nine. It is a beautifully renovated farmhouse / villa located on the border of Tuscany and Umbria in the most beautiful area of Italy. Celia and Francesca were so very helpful in making this a memorable experience from day trip recommendations to private chefs. Their response times were almost instantaneous, and suggestions spot on. The infinity pool and manicured gardens were spectacular, and the entire property sits on over 12 acres. The villa has the charm that comes with a 100 + year old property, paired with the modern conveniences and high design of a "no expenses spared" renovation. I looked at almost 100 properties on airbnb before choosing this one. I can't say enough good things about our experience there and highly recommend it.

Absolutely stunning villa with spectacular views across the valley - made even the thunderstorm we experienced quite a sight to behold! Particular highlights are the lovely terrace and fabulous pool (although located above the villa so beware those who might struggle with lots of steps). Celia was a great host and was a pleasure to deal with through our booking. Would absolutely recommend this as a place to stay for those looking for absolute tranquility and are happy to drive to discover the beautiful towns Tuscany & Umbria have to offer. (Trips to Assisi, Siena and Deruta for ceramics highly recommended).

Casa Castalda est vraiment un lieu magique. La maison est immense et garde son charme traditionnel. Les salles de bains de chaque chambre sont récentes et ont été réalisées avec beaucoup de goût. L'endroit que nous avons le plus aimé est bien sûr la piscine qui est tout simplement parfaite : grande, à débordement avec une vue magnifique, suffisamment profonde pour plonger... et de très beaux couchers de soleil. Le calme de ce lieu est vraiment appréciable et permet un réel repos. Le seul bémol est la présence de taon à la piscine qui a parfois vraiment entaché notre tranquillité même si les proriétaires ont installés des pièges, qui sont efficaces mais malheureusement pas suffisant. Merci encore pour ce séjour de rêve. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir ! :)

This is a fantastic place to stay in the heart of Tuscany. We loved it so much we extended our stay.

We were a group of ten (six adults and four kids) and really enjoyed the stay at the house. It's well set up for spending time together but also giving everyone enough space. All rooms are nicely set up. House is well equipped. The pool is absolutely beautiful! Lots of nice little villages around with cute sights and food food. Only point of attention: the house's set up is absolutely beautiful but not at all suitable for toddlers who cannot yet walk stairs. Stairs everywhere (not obvious from the pics) but makes it a real challenge. Exchanges with Celia beforehand were great and she was very helpful. There is a local contact once there who is quite to the point but very engaged to help and get potential issues solved asap.

This was the most beautiful house and the best air b and b I've ever stayed in!! Will definitely be back. Thank you for having us Celia.

We totally and completely enjoyed our stay at Casa Castalda. It was absolutely breathtaking. The photos very accurately represented the accommodations. The only thing not pictured is the bathrooms, but never fear, they are lovely as well! There are many, many steps inside the house and to go up to the pool -- for us this was no problem and helped work off our children's boundless energy and all the pasta and wine we consumed. We really enjoyed the in-home chef recommendation too and had them prepare three meals for us while there. We did some day trips to Assisi, Spello, Cortona and Gubbio which were easily accessible within an hour. Everything was charming and very idyllic. Our host and the property manager were very quick to respond to any requests and gave us a lot of great information about the area that we used and appreciated! Casa Castalda è che bellissima!

We had a lovely stay at Casa Castalda. Had our three grown children and 2 year old grandchild there for 5 days. Enjoyed the beautiful Villa and especially the amazing pool. Great location and we had an a fabulous time visiting Assisi, Cortona, Montepulciano and San (URL HIDDEN) unforgettable family vacation at a home with great amenities and charm.

We have been in Martins villa for 2 weeks with 4 adults and 4 kids. It was a great time and I can't imagine staying at a better place than Martins villa, when you want to go to Umbria. The villa is nicely decorated, clean and comfortable, the pool is amazing. All just a few minutes away form Lake Trasimeno.

A fantastic rural location, and a terrific house with plenty of space. We had a great holiday and thank goodness for the pool, great for dipping your mozzie bites in to cool down! We stayed with two pre-school children and another family with a baby and really enjoyed making ourselves at home for a week.

We had a great time at Villa San Martino. Set in idyllic Umbrian countryside, the house is in top condition and spacious with four separate bedrooms (plus one extra that can be accessed from one of the others). The pool was lovely. We just loved spending time there in the afternoon after day trips to Cortona, Siena and Montepulciano. The place is secluded but you can do your grocery shopping in the small towns Mercatale and Lisciano Niccone, located only 5 minutes drive away. You can also dine there at Mimmi's, that offers delicious local dishes. We especilly enjoyed her pici tartufo. The place is ideally located for day trips to Tuscan/Umbrian attractions. In addition to great wineries and interesting hilltop towns, there are at least three golf courses located a reasonable drive away from the place.

Great place ande nice welcome!

A great house in an even greater location. Umbria is in some ways more beautiful than Tuscany, the house being located in a slightly remote but gorgeous valley. Access is easy with only the last 15km of a windy mountain road. The rest from Florence is motorways. The nearby villages and towns are friendly and authentic. Our stay was shared between lazy days and visits to glorious places such as Sienna or Florence. All in all a fantastic time.

Absolutely outstanding hospitality. Amazing place and the communication with Matteo was superb!

Just a perfect spot to gather with family and friends. We stayed with 3 couples and four kids, aged between 3 and 7. Very large and well maintained pool, with a mild salty touch, which is gentle on the skin. Ideal for the kids, as the swimming pool is situated a bit downwards at a safe distance from the house. Practical pool house with bathroom and outside shower. Enormous and very well equipped kitchen. Everything present you could even think about. Seperate laundry room. Spacious living rooms in Italian style. Several outdoor seating area's. Big bedrooms and enough bathrooms around. Nicely selected items up to the bath towels, candles, glasses and even cutlery. Which was soo nice we washed it by hand even though, there is a dishwasher available. We definitely can recommend this house to everybody.

We stayed at Alessandro's villa a few days before our wedding with our family, it was so peaceful, we had everything we needed, and the local town was not too far away by car. The view was unforgettable! Alessandro was great too and easy to contact if we needed anything. We loved it here, we will definitely be returning!! Thanks Alessandro!

A stunning villa with beautiful views , very clean with everything you need for a great stay.Alessandro was the perfect host and nothing was too much trouble, the donkeys were great too,definitely worth a visit we would love to go back and explore the area more.

Alessandro has been the best Host you could imagine. The house was clean, very big and well equipped (especially the huge new oven). Also the view from the house was breathtaking, its so much more beautiful than the pictures show. There is nothing bad to say about the villa, our vacation has just been perfect. Alessandro was always available, even months before we came there. I can and will recommend him and his villa to everyone.

Nous avons été accueillis très chaleureusement par Valentino et son épouse. La maison est tout à fait conforme à l'idée que nous nous en faisions au vu des photos : magnifique, avec un bonus pour les tomates du potager que nous avons pu déguster. L'intérieur est à la hauteur de l'ensemble, tout est de qualité et de bon goût, nous sommes vraiment dans une maison de famille avec une âme. Seul bémol, malheureusement, la proximité du réseau routier. Nous recommandons vivement. Christine et Philippe

Great place to stay and feel the spirit of Umbria. Very private and quite. Green tourism included. House equipped in a very smart way. Everything is clean, cosy and esthetic. Hosts are very friendly and interesting people. It was please for us to communicate with them. For those who want to have an authentic experience of the Italian way of living.

We loved the villa! The location is phenomenal. The panoramic view of lake Trasimeno is fabulous, especially when lounging by the pool during the day or cooking on the stone BBQ at sunset. Passignano sul Trasimeno is a great spot to set up base and embark on day trips from, should you feel so inclined. This villa is ideally situated on the Umbrian/Tuscan border so it's perfect for day trips to Assisi, Perugia, Florence, Seina, Cascata delle Marmore, Spoleto etc. (Options abound). The villa itself is spacious and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful, private, and are nestled in an olive plantation. Our party of 5 adults and 3 children had a great time making memories that will last a life time at this truly marvellous property. Alesandro is a wonderful host and was more than accommodating. He was always available to answer any questions we had. You can't go wrong here. We'd love to come back!

Villa incantevole, il panorama sul lago Trasimeno è veramente mozzafiato, soprattutto se ti stai gustando un cocktail a bordo piscina. Ideale per chi ha cani, anche il nostro Rolly si è goduto a pieno la vacanza :) Letti e servizi puliti e forniti di tutto, il proprietario è stato molto disponibile e accogliente, location perfetta per il relax, appena possibile ci ritorneremo sicuramente!

Our trip to Villa degli Ulivi was incredible! The house was stunning and fully equipped, with more than enough space for everyone, there is an amazing view of the lake as well as outdoor amenities (we used the wood burning BBQ twice)! both me and my friends have all said we are definitely going back to the villa, as we were just SO impressed with the hospitality of Alessandro, anything we needed or asked about he would reply straight away! Cannot recommend this enough - it is a slice of heaven on earth, and the best birthday ever!

Nous avons passé 2 semaines formidables à la posta di confine. L'accueil de Roberta et Marco était des plus chaleureux, toujours aux petits soins avec leurs hôtes. Un cadre enchanteur au milieu des oliviers, une bâtisse magnifique et très bien entretenue, une belle piscine pour se détendre avec vue sur les collines ombriennes et un logement plein de charme. Bref un séjour bellissimo.

Casa stupenda. Ben curata, grande e con una vista mozzafiato! Arianna è stata molto gentile e disponibile con noi.
