Pretty house in beautiful Orvieto

The house is very nice and in beautiful position looking across the countryside with views towards Orvieto and the Cathedral, which is easily reached via the funiculare railway, there is much to do in the town with lovely shops and cafes. It would have been nice after a long journey to have had some milk in fridge, we were visited by a lovely old dog and a little cat everyday, both being animal lovers, we enjoyed this. Unfortunately the mosquitos and other biting insects were not so welcome! The pool is lovely and although not far it is a shame that it is not close to house. mosquitos and other biting insects.

Pretty property in a great location

This very well equipped and comfortable property was in a very quiet location with magnificent views. Just 10 minutes drive from the centre of beautiful Orvieto, everything we needed was provided with space and peace to truly relax both inside and in the lovely private outside space. Simonetta, our host, was very welcoming and helpful, and available should we have needed anything. Although we didn't use it ourselves, there was a private swimming pool available on the owners property just a short distance away. There is much to do and see within quite a short distance and Orvieto itself is a fascinating place. The Orvieto Card which gave entry to a number of historic buildings and museums was definitely worth buying. And the Duomo was truly beautiful! This was the first time we have stayed in Umbria and the combination of lovely countryside and wonderful villages and towns to explore made it a really good holiday destination. We couldn't fault anything.

A peaceful, beautifully situated cottage with fabulous shared pool.

A lovely, comfortable cottage with everything you need for a good stay. Simonetta could not have been more helpful and friendly. And the views from the terrace overlooking Orvieto will be long remembered.. To add to all this you can buy discounted (and delicious) wines from their own vineyard. What’s not to like!

Book here. It's as simple as that.

We're a family of 4. We have teenagers. We're British....but don't click away just yet. And we've travelled a bit over this planet. I've always said we'd never got back anywhere. Never. The world is too big. There's always a different corner. The familiar business of 'we must come back' written by a guest in cheap biro in a dusty dog eared visitors' book never rang true. I'll tell you what though; we'd love to come back to Il 2. Seriously. It is that good. Come here. See the sun set over these hills behind Orvieto and tell your grand kids. Taste the wine from the estate and boast about it at the pub. Kick back and relax by the pool and just let time run slowly. The house and the grounds allow stresses to drain away. Read this in November. It's dark at 5:00pm. It's cold. It's Sunday. You're watching Antiques Roadshow. Now think of a place where sun, sky and rolling hills merge. Think of a vineyard and wine and endless rolling views over southern Umbria. If this place is available and you've read this much then click on. Book it.

Perfect House in great location

Our first visit to Umbria but will not be our last. This house, the location on a fine vineyard with stunning views across to Orvieto and the warm welcome from Simonetta got our holiday off to a great start. The house is as the pictures - very tastefully furnished, clean and comfortable. Corrado's invitation to the wine tasting the night after our arrival was so kind. A very informative and enjoyable evening. A highlight was regular visits from Umbra the dog and the two cats. The short walk to the excellent pool, via the donkey and horse was lovely and we were blessed to have exclusive use the 10 days we were there. As the weather was so hot it was an excellent facility to have ! Orvieto is a delightful place with much to see and do. Food shopping as well as eating out was easy, with lots of fine produce to choose from. We fitted in a day trip to Rome using the very efficient train service. A great find was Bognaregio just a short drive from the house and a real highlight was a trip to Assisi. Many thanks to Simonetta for the great accommodation and communication to make our holiday go so well. Whilst on site and available if needed, the house and garden offers privacy to guests. We spent many evening hours under the pergola playing cards, chatting, eating and drinking good food and Le Velette wine. Many thanks for a great holiday- we would very much recommend the accommodation and location.

Wonderful house with the most amazing view!

We had a wonderful time at il 2. The house is lovely decorated, clean and has all the amenities you need. Simonetta is a very kind and wonderful host and always available for you. Our youngest son enjoyed the company of the cats and we all fell in love with Umbra the dog... We loved the view of Orvieto from the garden!

Wonderful house on a wine estate just a few miles from glorious Orvieto

The little house had everything you could need and has been extremely well thought through. It was hot when we were there but inside was cool and calm with lovely comfortable furnishings. Orvieto is only a few miles away with lots of restaurants and bars and with a supermarket just down the road everything was to hand. Our hosts invited us to a wine event in their vineyard which was excellent and we were able to buy their wine all week. Driving in Italy isn't for the feint hearted and you do need to drive everywhere, the only drawback is that we couldn't find any restaurants close by - however, this is not unusual in Umbria. The swimming pool is glorious and much bigger than you would get with a private villa, it has plenty of shade but you do need to walk a good 10/15 mins through the estate or a quick 3 minute drive. Our hosts were very kind and gracious

Wonderful Place to stay

We were lucky enough to stay in this beautiful cottage for 6 weeks.It was perfect.The owners Simonetta and Corrado made us very welcome and were helpful in suggesting places to visit. The cottage was beautifully decorated and is just like the photographs.The kitchen was well equipped , the two bathrooms were modern,clean and with great showers.The bed was really comfortable with fresh clean linen and towels provided.The washing machine was very useful which was essential when staying for 6 weeks. The view was stunning and morning coffee looking over to Orvieto whilst watching the beautiful birds was a wonderful start to the day.We loved this place and were so sad when we had to leave we had a truly memorable stay and fully recommend this cottage to anyone.

Great Winery Escape

My wife and I came to Italy from a big city in the US. Weve realized when we vacation we want peace and tranquility and feel like we're one of the few people left on earth. This place was just what we needed, but our host was right there if we needed anything. Don't sleep on Orvieto either - the churches are beautiful, there's the amazing underground tours, and some of the best (while still being the cheapest?) food we had during our two week stop.

We loved the cottage in this lovely vineyard. It was in an amazing location with gorgeous views, easy access to Orvieto, immaculately clean, and very well appointed for dinners at home, or just relaxing in a peaceful setting. To top it off, Simonetta and her dog Pepe are lovely hosts.

Ein wunderschöner, inspirierender, geschichtsträchtiger Ort

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt auf diesem traumhaften Landgut sehr genossen und die Gastfreundschaft der Besitzer sehr geschätzt. Unser stilvoll eingerichtetes, sehr ruhiges Quartier mitten in der Natur mit atemberaubender Aussicht auf das imposant auf einem Felsen thronende Orvieto und seine Umgebung ließ keine Wünsche offen. Die ausgedehnten Spaziergänge auf dem Landgut, eine herrliche Weinverkostung mit Besichtigung der alten, aus etruskischer Zeit stammenden Weinkeller der Familie, bleiben uns neben zahlreichen anderen kulinarischen Genüssen und Zeitreisen in verschiedene Städte der Umgebung (Orvieto, Assisi, Todi, Bolsena etc.) in bester Erinnerung. Wir freuen uns schon jetzt auf ein nächstes Mal.

Just Perfect!-The real Italian life

When I first saw this listing, and all of the previous reviews were a perfect 10, i had two thoughts: Either the place is perfect, or the reviews have been "fixed". Its perfect! Small "out-building" on a working vineyard, just far enough from town. The space is on the smaller side, but set up in a modern decor so everything works. 2 good bathrooms, great washing machine, outside space for dining and cocktail hour, peaceful pool, and the best view imaginable. The winery tour and the cooking lesson/lunch are not to be missed. The property has a cat and 2 dogs who visit occasionally. very friendly! When I return to Orvieto, i will not need to scroll through all the property listings. I will just book this place again. A unique gem!

Peaceful and Relaxing Stay

Four of us enjoyed this cozy, charming house for two weeks. It was clean, well supplied and close to Orvieto which was wonderful. We quickly felt a connection with Simonetta and her family who were welcoming and responsive. The setting was quiet and the view overlooking the valley and Duomo was terrific.

So beautiful

This apartment was, without question, the most beautiful place we stayed during our 2+ week visit to Italy. Adjacent to the apartment is a patio and green space (which is part of the winery, but feels completely private), with spectacular views of Orvieto and a very green and lush valley. The apartment itself was clean, comfortable, quiet, and charmingly decorated. We arranged with the host to take a tour of the winery and a cooking class, which we all enjoyed immensely. The host was very responsive and helpful both before and during our stay. I feel lucky to have stayed in this beautiful place, and would do it again in a heartbeat.
