La Vigna, Weingut, Apartments mit Pool

2014: Dear Saskia and Sylvia, we herewith send you our feedback. Upon arrival there was nobody waiting for us. We called the owner, but he didn’t answer the phone. We were not worried at all, we thought: “we are on a holiday and everything will be ok!” We waited and we enjoyed the views from the terrace. At a certain moment a very friendly gentleman with his dog passed by and he asked us if we were the new guests of La Vigna! He spoke a bit English. He told us that they expected us one week later! He apologized for the misunderstanding, but it was all fine. He called Devis, the caretaker who was at that moment working in the countryside. They are a wonderful team. Very helpful and friendly. For the misunderstanding Devis gave us two bottles of Umbrian red wine. We felt more than welcome! They made us feel at home. Both informed us about places to visit, restaurants etc. On my wife’s birthday we got a nice “surprise” breakfast with eggs, sausages, cheese, bread, butter and a bottle of white wine in our apartment. How fantastic! I could tell you more about our holiday experience in Umbria, but in short we want to tell you that we had a lovely vacation in Umbria and we enjoyed La Vigna. A holiday not to forget. Many thanks to Giovanni and Devis, Villa in Umbria and the very nice Umbrian people. You all made our holiday complete! We will come back. Thank you for organizing our holiday. We will be in touch again! Regards, Gerard and Sonja Holland 2013: Hello Saskia and Willemijn, I want to thank you for a lovely holiday. We had a good time at a wonderful location. Devis gave us some excellent advice about restaurants in the area and we enjoyed the peace, the quiet, the views, the friendly people. It all made up for a good holiday. If possible, we would like to return to the same place next year. Kind regards, Giovanni & Anja Hi Saskia and Willemijn, We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Umbria ! It is a very beuatiful area and the silence one can actually hear ! Apart from the cicades and birds twinkling we didn’t hear a thing. This is difficult to find anywhere in Belgium. Devis did his best to make it all more comfortabe for us. He is very accomodating. Already the first evening we had to call him, because we closed rhe door with the keys inside and our baby sleeping inside! Panic ! But Devis came along and resolved the situation. A tip for future guests: always take the keys with you when you go outside. If the door closes behind you, you will need the keys to get in again. On the first morning Devis accompanied us to Bastardo to get to the supermarket and invited us for a coffee in the local bar. Such a good service! Each morning the pool was cleaned, the garden is well kept. A change of linen halfway or holiday (we stayed 2 weeks) was very welcome. We had several large centipedes in the house that scared us a lot, but knowing they don’t hurt we got them out before going to bed. We probably were the first guests, because the house was clean, but dusty. The location is a fair bit from the high way, but we knew this beforehand and it is probably because of this that we could enjoy the total silence. We fully enjoyed our holiday! Good luck to WIllemijn with her new endeavours and to Saskia good luck with Villa in Umbria. Thank you both for the good service. Regards, Bert en Marleen Hello Saskia and Willemijn, We were at La Vigna for the second time and we would like to let you know that there have been some improvements. The road leading up to the house was redone and easier to drive then last year. We now had fly screens in the bedroom windows. There was a fan available. We also had new pots and pans, plates, cups etc. All we needed was there. This time we also met the owners themselves. We enjoyed exchanging a few words with them. 

We can’t think of anything negative. Maybe the barking dogs during the night (now and then) but this really did not influence our holiday at all. We strongly recommend this holiday address. With kind regards, F. Verhevick
