Wonderful

Fiona's apartment was the last place we stayed on our trip and it was also the best. The villa is very roomy with comfortable sofas in a large loungeroom, great, well-equipped kitchen to cook in and 3 bedrooms, which suited us perfectly. There was a terrace just outside with a large table and of course the beautiful pool to swim in and lounge by. Fiona was the perfect host, full of information about the area. We had a couple of yummy meals in Trevi, which is in walking distance (uphill). We couldn't have asked for anything more.

Perfect location in a gorgeous property

Our family of five absolutely adored our week in Trevi staying in the three bedroom apartment. To be able to walk into a beautiful village (Trevi) for a coffee, wine or dinner without hoards of tourists but also have access to a gorgeous pool and spacious self catering accomodation is rare. The pool, garden and views are stunning and we enjoyed sharing it with Fiona/Richard and another delightful family staying at the property. The three bedroom apartment is comfortable and functional and we ate on the verandah whenever we were home (this verandah does not have the amazing view but it is shaded and cool in the afternoon and lovely to sit out for all meals). There were mosquitoes however we managed it with spray and repellent coils so we could still enjoy fresh air and the most amazing view from the windows inside the apartment. Richard and Fiona are wonderful hosts and very generous sharing their knowledge of restaurants and places to visit. The location is also ideal to easily visit Assisi, Montefalco (wineries), Spello (recommend the Roman aqueduct walk and Villa of Mosaics) and much more. Our only regret was that we didn't book for at least 2-3 weeks as Umbria has so much to offer and is great value as well. We would happily return and hopefully will in the near future.

An absolute gem!!!

We have stayed in rentals for many years. This was the most outstanding!! It had the feel of a real home, not an IKEA built rental. The kitchen is supplied with everything one could need. The apartment is spacious, airy and perfectly clean. The pool is an added attraction. We were in it every day. Fiona and her brother Adrian are wonderful hosts. Responsive to our requests; very helpful with information about the surrounding area. It is a 12-15 minute walk up to town, and although Trevi is not noisy or overrun with tourists, the location of the house makes it very quiet and peaceful. Not just a 5 star review. As the Italians would say 10 + lode!!! (Note: There are cats and a dog on the property, should one be allergic to animals.)

This is heaven!

Four of us stayed in the two bedroom apartment, and we LOVED it! Fiona is an amazing host and has created the perfect retreat -- I can not imagine a more idyllic setting! The garden around the beautiful pool is lush, and Fiona left us a carafe of homemade Limoncello, made with lemons from her tree. What a treat! Trevi is a lovely small medieval town with romantic little alleys, and a charming square with a couple of lovely restaurants but far fewer tourists than the larger hill towns. It's an easy walk up the hill from Fiona's place. And it's easy drive to any number of beautiful Umbrian towns nearby. We would love to return!

Incredible stay

Fiona's home is perfection. Walkable to town but in a rural setting. A pristine pool and a lovable dog, Lapo. It's wonderfully simple and a makes for the best Umbrian vacation. We're already planning on coming back next year for a bit longer. Fiona was all we could ask for in a host, too.

Lovely villa in beautiful surroundings

We had five wonderful nights in Fiona’s gorgeous villa. The large flat is spacious, well-equipped and very clean. The pool is so nice and refreshing in the middle of a lovely garden. The children loved playing with Lapo the dog and cuddling the cats. Fiona is a gracious and welcoming host and keeps the place so beautiful. Trevi is a short but very steep walk away. Many good restaurants and a lovely atmosphere without many tourists.

Beautiful, well-located property

This a very clean, spacious, and well-equipped villa just outside of the beautiful hill town of Trevi. Fiona is a friendly, responsive host. We spent 10 enjoyable days in her 3-bedroom apartment, taking advantage of the swimming pool and short walk to Trevi where there are many good (and inexpensive!) restaurants. This was our third trip to this part of Umbria and not the last. I think we have found our new home base!

Lovely Hosts, Lovely Stay

We stayed for an entire month at Fiona's and Richards place and had the most amazing, relaxing time. We came together with our 3-year old twin girls who were nothing but in love with Lapo the dog, who lives in the same building together with the owners. We enjoyed the pool a lot (don't be afraid of the salt water - it's very gentle) which is located in a beautiful garden. Umbria, with all its small cities is amazing and surprisingly non-touristic. Same applies to Trevi, the small city which is located 10 walking-minutes up the steep hill. We cooked a lot in the very, very well equipped kitchen and very much enjoyed the very easy and nice ways of the owners, Fiona and Richard. Big recommendation!

Abbiamo trascorso 5 giorni con la nostra famiglia nell'appartamento di Fiona, siamo stati benissimo. L'appartamento è comodo e spazioso, è dotato di tutto il necessario, la cucina è attrezzata ottimamente. La posizione è strategica per visitare l'Umbria, il paese di Trevi è tranquillo e caratteristico. Ci ha fatto piacere utilizzare la piscina per rilassarci e rifrescarci.

Traumhafte Tage

Als große Familie mit vier Kindern haben wir uns wunderbar erholt und rundum willkommen gefühlt. Das Anwesen unserer Gastgeber ist wunderschön und großzügig - der Blick in die Umgebung herrlich. Für jede Altersgruppe war etwas dabei. Der Ort lädt ein zum Entspannen - ebenso zu Tagesausflügen in die Umgebung. Assisi, Todi, Spello - alles gut mit dem Auto erreichbar und unbedingt empfehlenswert. Besonders gefallen hat uns die Gastlichkeit und Zugewandtheit unserer Gastgeber. Wir haben uns schnell heimisch gefühlt. Die Ferienwohnung ist schön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Es war Raum für alle. Wir vermissen diesen schönen Ort, an den wir gern zurückkehren, und danken Richard & Fiona & Hund Lappo für die schöne Ferienzeit! Herzlich Familie Manterfeld aus Berlin

Second visit as great as the first

After 12 weeks in the spring of 2017, we decided to return in the fall of 2018 for six weeks to observe the olive harvest. The groves are prepared during the spring. We enjoyed the stay last year and this year was just as good. The hosts were marvelous and ensured that any needs were taken care of. We stayed in the "Traviata", a 3 bedroom unit with marvelous views of Trevi, a private patio, grill and all necessary equipment. There is a fireplace with plenty of firewood available and heating which was very nice as the days turned cool in early November. The villa is a short walk to Trevi. There are several good hiking opportunities right from the villa. We cannot say enough about how enjoyable both stays have been. We did not use the pool this year as our stay was through October and half of November and it was a bit too cool (for us). We highly recommend the Traviata.

een voltreffer

We hebben met ons gezin met 3 grotere kinderen (11 tot 16 jaar) in augustus 10 dagen verbleven in het grotere appartement bij Fiona en Richard en dat is enorm meegevallen. Fiona en Richard zijn erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam en hebben ons heel goed ontvangen. Het appartement is ook heel goed uitgerust en heel proper en volledig zoals het beschreven stond op de site. Er is een gezellig terras aan en dus vrijwel altijd buiten gegeten en je hebt tegelijk ook heel veel privacy. Het zoutwaterzwembad beneden in de grote tuin is gewoonweg fantastisch. Onze dochter heeft ook veel gespeeld met de bordercollie en de kleine katjes die in de tuin rondlopen. Zoals overal in Italië heb je bij zonsondergang wel de muggen die opduiken, maar met een muggenstick of spray is dat snel opgelost. Het vlakbij gelegen Trevi op wandelafstand is mooi en gezellig om 's avonds uit eten te gaan en er is heel wat te zien in de buurt ook, zoals Assisi, Todi, Orvieto, Romeinse watervallen bij Terni, Bevagna, natuurpark Monte sibilli,...

About the host

Hosted by Fiona McPeake

I am British and have lived in Italy for over 20 years with my Austrian husband.

Why they chose this property

Villa Sotto il Monte is a unique property in an extraordinary location. Built into the hillside each of the three apartments has its own privacy and separate entrance. The garden, in which the pool is situated, is hidden below the Villa.

What makes this property unique

Villa Sotto il Monte is just a ten minute walk from town where there are all amenities including great restaurants. There is a direct train line from Rome and to Florence in the valley below.
