-  Very special holiday destination and accommodation in Umbria -

Let your dreams come true and organise a stay in this old convent of the 12th century, covered in age old frescos (also about the life of St. Francis). Ideally situated on walking distance from Lugnano, close to Amelia, Narni and only one hour from the centre of Rome. Stay in one of the former monks cells, now turned into elegant apartments. The whole convent has been restored into a residence with apartments. Three of the apartments are now offered for holiday rentals, the smallest one has airconditioning. The convent has a semi olimpic pool of 25 by 12,5 meters (open in July and August) and a tennis court. The walled gardens slope down and around the convent, filled with century old evergreen trees on terraces, quiet and cool in summer.     Send this page to a friend Comments of guests Availability Umbria convent: apartment Botte, Forno & Pozzo Where to find the Umbrian convent Pictures and information about Umbria This convent is the place to go if you would like a different holiday, immersed in the past centuries and yet comfortably close to a nice hilltop village with restaurants (the convent also has a restaurant, but this is closed at the moment and we do not know when it will re-open).

WHERE TO FIND THE CONVENT IN UMBRIA

Back to the description of the Umbrian convent

Comments guests Convent in Umbria Back to the description of the monastry in Umbria From 2009: Dear Saskia and Willemijn, Our holiday was superb, couldn't have been better. Good room (unfortanutaly without private terrace, but we knew that), nice pool and tennis court, good information before departure, pleasant comunication, good weather (though nobody can influence the weather) and safe parking. With kind regards, Kim and Patrick   Dear Willemijn and Saskia, We had a superholiday in Umbria! Both accomodations were comfortable. Especiallt the Borgo Spoleto was very luxurious. Also the convent was very beautiful with a fantastic pool and tennis court. In both cases the owners were very friendly and helpful. Thank you for organising it and we'll be back in the future! Regards, Marcella & Joost   Dear Saskia and Willemijn, We stayed at Il Convento end of May/neginning of June and enjoyed it a lot. Top host, beautiful location and nice surroundings. We prefer the surroundings of Lake Trasimeno, but still we also enjoyed this area.Your information is just fine. Maybe it is good to mention that at the convent guests can use a free wi fi connection in a common room on the ground floor. There were some problems with the water supply, but the owner did his utmost to get it resolved as quick as possible. We enjoyed it that much, that you shouldn't be surprised if next year we'll contact you again. Best regards, Saskia   Hello Saskia and Willemijn, We had a terrific holiday! The convent really is a beautiful place. The apartment with small garden we can warmly recommend to any future guest of the convent. Other years we never stayed more then one week at the same place, this time two weeks were far too short. A tip for any future guest that likes cycling: do take your bike with you! I made some very nice tours myself. Thank you for advising the convent to us. We had an unforgettable holiday! With kind regards, Eveline and Martijn   Hi Saskia and Willemijn, We like to give you some feedback for your website. We had a wonderful honeymoon in the convent, apartment Botte. It is larger then what it seems on the pictures and in the garden with outside kitchen it is good relaxing. Cleaning lady Luciana was very helpful. When we had car problems she gave us a lift several times and even invited us for a local party in Lugnano. We missed our car a few days and hence were more at the convent, obliged to stay around the pool. Not a curse at all, to laze in the shade of the olive trees and enjoy the special atmosfere of the convent. What else to say. Good apartment, kind hosts, enough villages and towns in the area to do some interesting sight seeing  and only an hour by train to Rome. And of course: all around the possibility to taste to excellent Umbrian cuisine : Regards, Leonie & Bart   From before 2009: Dear Saskia and Willemijn, Our stay at Il Convento has been a succes: the location is truly special and unique. A place so authentic, the atmosphere of the monastry, the serenity but also the surroundings, the garden, the forest, the nature surrounding it, even with the history intact, a comfort of these times that the appartment offers. In short: above all expectations. Apart from that we treasured the hospitality of Mercedes and Bruno, discreet but always helpful and attentive. We have no comments to make, and not enough words for all the positive remarks. We truly hope to return next year, probably somewhere in fall (maybe October). Thanks for the correct and well done help with our booking (the information was perfect and very accurate) We would love to make use of your services once more next year! Along this way we would also like to convey our thanks to Mercedes and Bruno even if we have already done that personally. Kind regards, Joop and Mila   Dear Willemijn, We had a great time in the monastry in Umbria. It was a very special place to stay; we have been welcomed very warmly and the facilities were good. In the village we were able to do all our groceries and the people were very friendly. Only minor point was the bed in the bedroom. The what was original a settee-bed  became somewhat uncomfortable in the following days if we are allowed to say so. The matrass was thin and the coils were worn in the middle. It was a reason to leave a day early. Maybe the owner can solve this problem? Besides that the appartment is to be recommended to all! All praise for your wine tasting! Great location, well executed and fantastic quality wines. We took 4 boxes and are sorry we didn't load up the car some more. Good luck with your company and who knows till next time. Kind regards, fam. L. Comment Villa in Umbria: the owners have replaced the bed and bought a brand new real bed of excellent quality. Below is the picture.   Hereby we'd like to thank you for the speedy service at securing our stay in the appartment in the monastry. The owner was very kind; the appartment suited our needs very well. We had a lovely week in the (surprisingly non touristic) Southern Umbria. Kind regards, Katja   Hello Willemijn, Our holidays have ended unfortunately.... But all went well. What a location! What a surroundings! We thoroughly enjoyed it! We did have some thunderstorms with one tree blocking the path... just two cars in front of us... luckily no one was hit. You don't want to think about passing a few minutes earlier..... But all ended well, and thanks for the speedy communication! Regards, Annemie   Dear Willemijn, We have spend our holidays to our full satisfaction in Il Convento - appartment Forno. The welcome by Bruno and Mercedes was very warm. The furnishing can not be faulted and everything we needed was there. Kind regards, Peter and Mirja   Hello Willemijn, We have arrived back home in Holland. We tremendously enjoyed Umbria and two days in Rome. We like to thank you wholeheartedly for all your help and information. Both appartments were wonderful. Regards, Yvonne and Jochen   Hi We had a good stay in the Convento and we wrote our appreciation in the notebook. Thank you for staying in your Convento. Sincerely yours, Jos & Olga   Dear Willemijn, I have just returned from my holiday and I just wanted to thank you for everything that you did to make this the best holiday I have ever experienced.  Mr Bruno was very helpful and the monastery was delightful and Mr Antonio's La Torre was just wonderful.  We really enjoyed our time there. Thank you once again.  Best wishes, SUE    Dear mrs. Lindeboom, It took a while but: Also on behalf of my wife I would like to thank you for your mediation and the given information on the territory. The accomodation met our expectations. Francesco's restaurant (nice guy) was very nice. When we are to visit Italy another time we'll make sure to make use of your site again. We'll also recommend it to our friends and family. All the best. Kind regards, Paul   Dear mrs. Lindeboom, Through your organisation we booked a week in the old monastry in Lugnano. The appartment was called "Il Forno" Meanwhile we have arrived back home. We like to let you know that our stay there met all our expectations. Hearty reception, well situated and furnished, quiet, all perfect,........ Also your communication and information was very ad hoc and professional. Our thanks for your share in our holiday, we will warmly recommend you and your services to all of our friends and acquintances. Kind regards, Frank   Dear Saskia and Willemijn, Thanks for your email. After two weeks Umbria [Il Convento/Forno - Lugnano in Teverina]  we're back in rainy Holland. Regarding our appartments: nice reception and ditto owner, lovely pool [necessary with an average 38c degrees]. beautiful surroundings, nice villages,.... We even got a portable airco-unit in the second week [what do you mean: Il Forno..?] The only drawback was the kitchen, not only the small area but also the equipment: to make a cup of tea water had to be boiled in a large pan [difficult to light gas, burned my fingers once] and regarding teacups there was only something smallish ore something extremely large. An electrical watercooker and a few teacups would be wellcome here. Furthermore on your website it is mentioned that the area is 38 square meters wich seems quit large to me, but that besides. Regards, Wouter and Norma PS the restaurant mentioned in the documentation Il Convento has shut down......   We have returned from our stay in Umbria. We don't have any complains, we liked it. Only while looking on your website it occured to me that not all the information is up to date. Pictures as well as the drawing of Forno are no longer correct. Maybe something to look into. Reaction Villa in Umbria: Meanwhile we have updated all our info.    Back to the description of the monastry in Umbria
