The ecological vacation villa is set up as follows:
Ground floor: entrance in the living area with lovely wooden furniture all hand made, with the sitting room (with fire place) on the left and the dining room to the right, all in one spacious open area. The large kitchen (with ample working space, a big oven, 5 pit cooker, dishwasher and a lot of storage space) has a big glass sliding door and is situated behind the dining area. A door in front of the kitchen gives access to the private terrace and garden, where guests can relax and dine together under a stunning pergola of wild roses. In the hallway one finds a small guest bathroom.
The back of the house has a bedroom suitable for wheelchair users, with its own bathroom.
First floor: there is an internal staircase as well as an external one, leading up to the first floor of this ecological villa. The first floor has 4 bedrooms, all doubles that can also be made up as twins. Each bedroom has a spacious wooden platform with one or two single beds, ideal for children to sleep on.
The ecological villa has a private garden and terrace with wooden good quality garden furniture. The owner has her own private terrace at the other side of the villa. Around the pool (oval, 6m x 12m x 1.40m) the guests have sun beds, also made in wood. The pool is fenced with a thick hedge and has two small gates that can be closed. There is ample parking out of sight of the house (one can always drive up to the house to load or unload).
The villa has been built using ecological materials and with the latest building technologies for energy efficiency. The roof is a ventilating roof, heating is through wall panels, where new materials were needed, wood and stone have been used.

From 2010:Hello Willemijn and Saskia,
I'd like to report that we had a fantastic holiday at Villa Ecologica.
The weather was lovely, the area extremely beautiful and we have made some nice daytrips to Spello, Rome, Spoleto, Assisi and the Marmore waterfalls.
We really didn't want to go back home. Our children (9 and 12 years old) had a great time.
They have already asked if we can go back to this Villa next year. Our response was that there is a chance.
Elisabeth is a top hostess. We could always go to her if we needed some information.
In short everything was first-class!!!! We will make sure to spread some very good words about villainumbria.
Regards, L.P.
From 2009:Dear Saskia and Willemijn,
Our holiday is already over for quite a while, but I would still like to thank you for your professional, but personal approach in helping us deciding which house to rent.
We, two families with in total 7 members, had wonderful days in the Villa Ecologica near Spoleto.
The Villa was much better then we expected from the pictures. It is very large and has all the comfort one needs to really relax and enjoy a holiday.
The garden is quiet and well taken care of. The pool was extremely clean and good to swim in. The owner was very friendly and helpful whenever we had some questions.
Spoleto is a nice old town with, to our spositive surprise, not that many tourists.

Dear Saskia & Willemijn,
We came back to Israel yesterday, after a wonderful vacation.
We had great time in Villa Ecologica - it was very spacious, well equipped and made us feel just like at home !!!
Moreover, we had a great pleasure of making the reservation with the excellent service of yours.
Thanks again, Adi & family
Hello,
The families Bruninx-Jorissen and Jorissen-Jans got a fantastic time in Villa Ecologica during our 2 weeks stay (10 -27 July) !
This house is truly the best experiences in the 5 years that we travel to Toscany and Umbria. As we both have disabled children (one in a wheelchair and one with severe autism) it is so important to have an environment where they (we) feel at home and Villa Ecologica certainly answered that need.
The house itself, the rooms, the kitchen, the pool area, everything is adapted to give everybody (and also disabled children) an unforgettable holiday feeling in a breath-taking environement.
And we want to give special thanks to the owners of the villa, who live nearby, but who were so discrete that you won't notice them unless you needed them.
Elisabeth and here husband did their utmost best to help us to solve small practical issues on the spot. And not to forget the tasteful vegetables, olive oil and wine we got from them...
Highly recommended !
Erwin
Good day,
Our stay in the Villa Ecologica has been a pleasure.
The vIlla is very large and there is everything you need for 16/16 people. We were with 5 adults and 5 children. The kitchen is large with enough pots, pans, plates etc. This is not always the case in large houses. Up to three times we got fresh figs from the owner.
Elisabetta also gave us a lot of information about activities in the area. With the children we ended up not using her tips, but we suppose for other people it'll be very welcome.
Temperary negative aspect - if we need to mention one - would be that we had problems with the umbrella of the dining table. It was broken. We ended up moving the table to different spots in the morning and in the evening to be able to sit in the shade of the large chestnut tree.
The bleating of the donkeys may disturn somebody, but we thought it added to the charm of the place.
A small advise: some lights around the pool (now only in the pool) would guarantee wonderful evenings around and in the pool. Elisabetta, though, pointed out to us that there are some very strict rules that she needs to follow to be able to rent out. One of these concerns the lights near the pool. We understand her point of view.
Elisabetta and Altero had a lot of respect for our privacy. They were never at the pool together with us, which for us wouldn't have been necessary.
Spoleto also is a good basis to explore parts of Umbria.
Regards, Kris
We had an almost perfect holiday here. The only bad thing is that it was too short!!! Thank you Elisabeth for the beautiful house, on this very special place and thank you for this wonderful week!
We loved to go to "L'Osteria del Matto". Very delicious and special!
Karin & Detlef
We enjoyed our stay in Villa Ecologica. The villa has everything we need: confortable rooms and bathrooms, a fantastic kitchen, great pool and excellent environment. We will surely recommend this villa to our families and friends!
Thanks for this week,

From before 2009:
Dear Willemijn,
We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Ecologica near Spoleto, only praise.
The house is brand new, very comfortable, everything one needs is there, all very clean, every room its own bathroom, fantastically well equiped kitchen so well suited to foodies.
Swimming pool and garden lovely.
The owners are very helpful and friendly, sometimes a bit uncertain of their role. They make use of the swimming pool now and then but it is certainly not an inconvenience. It would be good to know that they are there (for gasts who care for even more privacy).
Kind regards, Nienke
Hello,

Yours sincerely, Hans, Renate, Lisa, Floor and Lotte
