MARTININO
Dear Willemijn and Saskia
We had a very positive experience at San Martino. It was a lovely cottage, in very good condition, and well equipped including plenty of garden furniture. It had a lovely position with a great view and was very quiet (although it would not have been as peaceful if there had been a family renting the house next door with children using the pool). We were lucky and there was no-one in the house next door so it was a perfect place for a quiet relaxing holiday.
The owners and family were very friendly and accommodating - they gave us complimentary drinks at the bar when we arrived and the father-in-law brought us some croissants etc. for breakfast one day.
There was plenty to do in the area, a highlight being a visit to Assisi, and the countryside is lovely.
The restaurants recommended by villainumbria were generally good although Il Galluzzo at Castel Rigone turned out to be closed and was also located down a very rough track which we would not want to traverse again in our car.
Regards, David
Dear Saskia and Willemijn,
We have tremendously enjoyed our holiday in Martinino.
The house as such is fantastic, even as the swimming pool. The position and view of the house are wonderful. It is really quiet and we have slept very well (good bed also).
The owners are lovely. The morning after arriving and the morning we left, the owner passed by with warm brioches.
We did advise the owners to make a wifi spot in their bar because Northern Europeans really can't do without, even on holiday. The two internet points in Mercatale did not function.
That is all I believe. Thanks for your help.
Best wishes, Jan Kees and Mieke
Both houses
Dear Saskia and Willemijn,
we look back with great pleasure on our holiday in San Martino and Martinino.
Despite the weather nog being exactly what we would have expected, the holiday was fantastic.
Also all our compliments for your organisation. All wat totally well organised. Even when we had rain you organised some last minute activities for the children hoping their holiday would still be pleasant. And yes, your anti-rain dance did have its effect!
Both houses were very good. All was clean and the kitchen was very well equipped.
The garden, the pool, the covered terrace, all were in optimal state.
And then the owners, such sweet, friendly and kind people who did everything to make their guests stay pleasant. They even brought icecream and vegetables, fruit and croissant, … unbeliebale that a thing like that does still exist.
We have very fond memories of our stay in San Martino. We could not have wishes for a more beautiful position.
All you describe on the website was correct.
Again thanks for your good organisation and who knows we will meet again in Italy.
Also give our regards to the family.
Best wishes, Chantal
From 2010:
Dear Saskia and Willemijn,
Our stay on the ground floor of San Martino has been fantastic on all fronts: the garden with all its lovely places to sit, cat and horse, the serenity, the owners, you name it. Time flew by! The kitchen maybe a bit small but it certainly is well equipped! All in all we had a lovely week in Lisciano Niccone!!
Thank you once again.
Kind regards, Hans en Connie
Dear Saskia and Willemijn,
Just to let you know we had a lovely time during our three weeks in Villa San Martino. Everything was as described and the owners really are very good-natured.
We already look forward giving you a ring in the future to make use of your services!
Kind regards, Dirk
Dear Willemijn and Saskia,
We have been home for two weeks after an amazing two weeks in San Martino. What a superb location and the view from the pool really is breathtaking! And what a kind owners and granny fondle (as we had named him) is adorable. Almost daily he came over to bring us some products from his garden and twice sweet croissants. It was delightful and fantastic!
Will you give our regards and thanks to the family?
Kind regards, Brigit
From 2009:
After recent scandals with rental companies that appeared not to exist once arriving where people thought they had booked, we left rather sceptical for our holiday in Umbria. Our only contact with you had been via the web.
Already upon meeting the owners of San Martino all our scepticism disappeared. How sweet these people are! Unfortunately we do not speak italian and they do not speak any english or german. We ended up comunicating with hands and feet.
Arriving at the house and overlooking the pool and the wide surroundings we thought we arrived in paradise. The owners are very proud of their property and it shows! With a lot of love they take care of their house and the land around. Everything was clean, neat and well taken care of.
The only negative aspects we can come up with: The cooker hood in the downstairs kitchen does not function. The toilet upstairs kept leeking water. When we mentioned it to the owner he immediately came by to fix it. Unfortunately he couldn't do that himself and had to call a plumber. Since it was our last day we haven't seen the person anymore. We missed some coffe/tea cups. There were many espresso cups, but hardly any larger coffee cups. Wine we drank from waterglasses. A serving tray would have been handy. But these are all minor things.
Maybe it would be handy to leave a guest book in the house, or some practical advise. We discovered you cannot use the dishwasher and the washing machine at the same time!
We had a wonderful holiday and will surely promote your website and services.
We will not have a holiday in Italy soon, but when we come back we will surely ask your advise.
Thank you very much and we wish you a lot of succes.
Hilde
Dear Saskia and Willemijn,
We had two wonderful weeks, despite the bad weather during our first week in Villa Sanna.
The second week we changed to San Martino and loved the place. Gorgous location and pool and very friendly owners. Maybe some small advise for them: a larger roof over the BBQ area. If it rains one is obliged to eat inside the house where the sitting area is not very large. Even with rain the temperatures are high, so sitting outside would have been a pleasure even with rainy weather.
Thank you, Heleen
From before 2009:
Dear miss Lindeboom,
We have returned to the Netherlands. We very much would like to let you know that all went well in Italy and maybe you would be able to tell the owners that we really enjoyed their hospitality and that the accomodationts etc. are run extremely professional and well cared for, which is rather pleasing. We will make sure to point your website and this house out to our friends and acquaintances in Holland. We will certainly return.
Kind regards, Herman
Dear miss,
Last week we came to the end of our holiday in San Martino. We had a tremendous stay: the house, the surroundings and not in the least the friendly and hospitable hosts. We thanked them for everything on our last evening, but we wish to repeat this via you. Without a doubt this can be done much better in fluent Italian than in our 5 words from a travel dictionary.
Thank you very much beforehand and we might meet again,
Kind regards, Danny, Marijke, Thomas, Lander, Chantal, Charlotte, Laurens, Cedric, Corneel en Luk
We have just spent two wonderful weeks in a fantastic house. Definitely to be recommended.
The hosts were very hospitable, kind for the children, and verry attentive, we were brought all kinds of presents and goodies.
Our very warmest gratitude to any one who took part in this.
Regards, Moniek
