Hi Giulia,

We had a fantastic holiday in your lovely house. Your tomatoes are growing well and the peppers are starting to flower. The area was so beautiful. It's a good job that I have managed to travel the world before this holiday as I think that if I'd been to Italy first we would probably never visited anywherw else, Mary and I were completely bowled over by it's beauty.

Thank you for letting us stay, I'm sure we'll be booking the house again soon.

With kind regards

Richard & Mary

This villa is a slice of heaven. It is perfect. Plenty of room (1400 sq ft) and very accommodating for 2 couples. The kitchen is well equipped and had plenty of room. The view of the lake and countryside is breath-taking. The charm of the sheep and their pleasurable bells provided our morning concerto. We toured the countryside and enjoyed every day. Being halfway between Rome and Florence, the location is perfect. We found the villa reasonable enough that we didn’t hesitate to take overnight stays at the coast and Florence with the benefit of just an overnight bag. All of this said, the place, the view, the countryside is all secondary to the gracious host Malcolm and Giulia. Their kindness, generosity, and expertise was appreciated immensely. It was a trip of a lifetime.

Giulia responds to contacts very quickly. She is Italian/English and Malcolm is English, which helps people like us who do not speak Italian. The couple are very welcoming, and provide many guide, history and activity notes to ensure you make the most of the fabulous location. A car is essential.

Their huge home is completely renovated and beautifully furnished. It has every item you could want, and everything works perfectly.

The peaceful location is a wonderful base to explore the amazing 'hill towns' of Umbria, Tuscany and Lazio. It is also a wonderful place to just sit on the balcony and relax in the evenings, and enjoy the fabulous food and wine that you can buy in the markets of the towns nearby, whilst watching the farmers working away in the distance.

We have stayed in many properties throughout the world: a few equal to but none better than LaPorcilaia.

Don't pack a corkscrew

Circumstances dictated that we were unable to actually meet Guillia and Malcolm but we were nonetheless extremely well looked after. Communication before, during and after our stay was amazing! The property is beautiful and the apartment very well appointed. It is clear that a great deal of love and thought has gone into it. We were deeply saddened to leave as we so very much enjoyed visiting the area, both on bikes and on foot. Swimming at Bolsena Lake was wonderful too!
