Casa Porcospino is a holiday apartment with private garden, part of an old restored farmhouse in a tranquil position in nature. The holiday rental apartment has terracotta floors and thick wooden beams. The old farmhouse in the Upper Tiber Valley area, sits on 650 meters altitude, a guarantee for the best views over nature. This is the area where Umbria meets Tuscany and the Marche.
This is the ideal rental for nature lovers and anybody looking for a
quiet time, away from the fast pace, constant pressure and unnatural
environment. The apartment is, with one bedroom, ideal for a couple,
but there is a very good sofa bed so the apartment sleeps 4 people in total.
The old farmhouse is surrounded by 30.000 m2 of land with a small vineyard, olives and many fruit trees (that long to be picked!). No need to say that you can see far from here and what you see can keep you dreaming the whole of your holiday (and beyond).
This apartment rental offers total privacy, being at the back of the
house (looking over the house). There are 4 apartments in the old
farmhouse, owned by three different owners, all non Italian. Two of
the four apartments are rented for holidays. Each apartment has its
own entrance and none of the owners lives on site.
The holiday rental apartment is around 80 m2 and has a big living
room with good quality sofabed (for 2), a spacious kitchen corner
with a microwave/oven, 4 pit gas cooker, fridge with small built in
freezer and everything you need to prepare a good meal. The living
room has a CD player with some CDs. The furniture has been made by
the local furniture producers, known worldwide for their excellent
quality and craftmanship.
The apartment can be heated when needed and there is a working fireplace in the living room. The bathroom has a washbasin, shower, toilet and bidet. The spacious bedroom has a double bed and a chest of drawers for your clothes and a normal cupboard to hang clothes. Furthermore there is an iron and ironing board, plus a hairdryer in the bathroom.
The old farmhouse has a swimming pool (shared with all 4 apartments).
The pool is 12 by 7 meters and is open from mid May to mid September.
The farmhouse offers ample outside sitting areas and the apartment
has a terrace with outdoor table where you can dine, plus the private garden.
The centre of Citta di Castello is an easy 20 minutes drive from the farmhouse. On the road to the centre, on 15 minutes drive, you will find a big supermarket where you can do all your shopping. You can also go to Lama for shops, this is just over 10 minutes drive. Citta di Castello is an old city, offering a pleasant atmosphere. There are several museums both for old art as well as for modern art. In September the city organises every year the International Festival of Chamber music. The holiday rental offers, apart from nature and quiet, good opportunities to visit the beautiful antique towns and cities scattered around Tuscany and Umbria. To mention a few: Monterchi, Monte Santa Maria Tiberina, Citerna, Sansepolcro, Perugia, Arezzo, Urbino and many more. You can play golf close to Lerchi (9 hole golf course) and here you can also ride a horse. The Dutch owners will have a folder with information about what to see and do, where to eat, market days and more in the apartment.
The prices for a weeks rental of this lovely apartment are (in Euro):
Prices are for two people, all inclusive, apart from heating (as per
consumption). The prices even include the use of pool towels (apart

WHERE IS THIS HOLIDAY RENTAL SITUATED IN UMBRIA
Back to the description of the apartment in Umbria for rent
Guest comments (sorry, mostly in Dutch ...):
In April 2008 the road up to the holiday apartment has been fixed and now any normal car can get here.
Voor de tweede keer in Porcospino, maar het was eenzelfde succes als de eerste keer !! Heerlijk rustig, mooie tochtjes gemaakt en opnieuw goed gegeten. Bedankt voor de gastvrijheid ! Hans en Xenia.
Het leven is hier goed en Porcospino is een heerlijk huisje. Stralend weer, schitterende hemels storm en noodweer wisselen elkaar af in november! Veel gewandeld, veel ontdekt, veel gegeten ! Everzwijnen gromden in het struikgewas, reëen kruisten ons pad !! Hella en Hein
De aankomst op 23 december 's avonds was hartverwarmend. Het buitenlicht brandde, evenals de verwarming. Wijn stond op tafel! Geen witte kerst, maar bijna twee weken stralend vrieskoud wandelweer. De Monte Nerone was ontzagwekkend : picknick in de sneeuw ! We blijven hier graag terug komen !!
Woorden als verbondenheid met de natuur - sereniteit - de kunst van het genieten op Italiaanse wijze, komen in me op. We zijn dankbaar hier te hebben mogen vertoeven ! Verbondenheid is een groot goed. We hebben de kunst van het leven weer even mogen proeven. Frank en Monique
We zijn
enthousiast over wat we zien en raken in de loop van ons verblijf op
Casa Porcospino steeds enthousiaster ! Een knus ingerichte ruimte,
voorzien van wat er eigenlijk allemaal moet zijn !
Op alle
details is gelet......kaarsen en waxinelichtjes, scherpe messen,
schijnwerper en voor het eerst in een gehuurd appartement een
slaapbank, die ook als zodanig functioneert : comfortabel.
Bravo ! Het uitzicht is GENIETEN. Het is ontroerend en bedwelmend als
een amfitheater. Het pad naar boven met de auto vereist wel
stuurmanskunst. De vele vogels, het wandelen in de omgeving, de mooie stadjes....
Alles bij
elkaar : een prachtige en unieke ervaring. We komen zeker terug naar
deze schitterende stek.
Wil en Ella
We really
enjoyed this heaven-on-earth-spot Casa Porcospino. The
apartment has a very nice atmosphere and looks very good, with
marvellous views from the terrace. You can "hear" the
silence after a busy day. We have visited Assisi, Rome,
Florence, Siena etc.
Ian and Raquel
Wat een rust
straalt deze plek uit : waanzinnige vergezichten, prachtige
zonsondergangen ! Jammer genoeg was het weer de laatste dagen niet zo
goed, hoewel binnen zitten in zo'n appartement zeker geen straf is !
John en Marijke
Een
fantastisch huis, hoewel de weg ernaar toe moeizaam is. Het is
helemaal naar onze smaak ingericht. Alles klopt : het voelt als
thuiskomen ! Wat hebben we genoten : indrukwekkende natuur. Prachtige
uitstapjes gemaakt. Geweldig !
Jos en Tineke
Je voelt je de
koning te rijk in Casa Porcospino. Echt alles erop en eraan ! De weg
ernaar toe lijkt soms alleen wat weg te hebben van de Camel Trophy !
Eenmaal eraan gewend : een heerlijk huisje wat binnen no time als ons
" home away from home " voelde. Super !
Roy en Mandy
We hebben echt
een leuke tijd gehad. Het huisje was super en zo knus ! We hebben
hier zeker het gevoel van gastvrijheid mogen ervaren, door alle
kleine extra's die er in het huis waren. We hebben enorm genoten !
Als we ooit
een terreinwagen kopen, dan komen we zeker terug !
Erik,
Jeanette, Nick en René
Prachtige plek
hier ! We gaan nooit 2x naar dezelfde stek, maar wie weet komen we
hier nog een keer terug, want het is wel echt iets bijzonders !!
An
Het huisje is
perfect ! Knus, leuk ingericht en zelfs een cd-speler met cd's en
verschillende boeken. Geeft een welkom gevoel !
Ingrid en Peter
Als God ergens
woont, dan moet het hier dicht in de buurt zijn.........
Wilfried en Martine
