IN THE HEART OF ITALY!

This was my second visit to Guidiolo. The first trip had been with my family
but this last time I visited alone. I was charmed again this time by the ancient stone structures and
the way the sun warmed the court yard as we sat outside for our lunches. Every meal we had included the delicious, distinctive olive oil that was harvested from Gudiolo along with other delectable vegetable and meat dishes. The roped strands of wisteria were just beginning to bud and I was so sorry I couldn't stay longer
to see it bloom in all its glory. Each room is masterfully appointed by the owner
who has a magnificent sense of color and beauty. One night we went into
Perugia for dinner at a wonderful restaurant where the locals eat. I was warmed and enchanted by the loving families that sat all around us. We spent hours looking for mushrooms in the wooded hills behind Gudiolo. The fantastic views from each window of Gudiolo are a marvel. I spent a lot of time just gazing out
on the scene. The owner is an intelligent, beautiful Chilean woman who speaks
at least 5 languages fluently and is extremely well read. She also is masterful
with her knowledge of classical music. We had many rich conversations over
meals or around the fire. The owner is locally known and loved so you get a feeling of being "at home" rather than being in a rental property.

I would definitely recommend this property for family or group gatherings. I would suggest going a bit later than March so the weather is warmer and one could also
use the pool and eat figs and other things grown on the property.
