2011: The positives:
What a lovely week we have had in Il Gelsomino! The house is spacious, the views lovely, the position excellent and the privacy total. In a week we have been visiting beautiful towns like Assisi, Orvieto, Todi, Perugia, Spoleto and not to forget the Tempietto sul Clitunno, all in about half an hour drive. After the trips we enjoyed the calm of the house and the refreshing pool. On the terrace with view over the whole (or half) of Umbria we had our daily breakfast and dinners, after which we brought the leftovers to the goats. Fantastic!
The negatives:
However wonderful it all was, in a different time of the year or with the pool closed I would not want to stay here. The grounds and the views are formidable but inside the house is rather dated and not very clean. The furnishings are typically Italian and we were prepared for this style, however for the price we paid we had expected the house to be thoroughly cleaned at least.
Comment from the owner: there will be other cleaning ladies in 2012 to ensure this will not happen again.
The owners ask for a downpayment of 30% of the rental fee.
You can pay the remaining sum one month before arrival. There is no security deposit to be paid.
