Photos and Description of the Montone vacation farmhouse rental
Farmhouse, 2 Bedrooms + Detached Unit, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 4-6)

Situated on a wooded hillside you have spectacular views, peace and tranquility, always a fresh breeze, the fragrances of Rosemary, Thyme, and Juniper around you, and an overall feeling that is so soothing to your soul; our guests always want to stay-on longer.

The Perfect spot for a family with kids, a couple wanting a romantic and secluded place, or an artist needing quiet in an inspirational setting.

The position of the property is perfect because it is not far from the comforts of civilization, yet you are alone on your wooded hillside without the noise of farm equipment, traffic, or neighbors. Also, the property sits up high enough so there is no need for Air Conditioning and we have never seen a mosquito there yet!

Visit at a short distance: Gubbio, Assisi, Cortona, San Sepolcro, Citta di Castello and other villages and cities. Follow the Wine Route through Umbria and taste the incomparable Sagrantino di Montefalco and other great wines. This is also a great Olive Oil region and you can visit local groves. You can also buy direct Umbrian fabrics in Umbertide or the famous ceramics of Deruta.

About Jonathan

My wife is from Rome, I am from Connecticut, and we met in Honduras! For the past twenty years we have worked as expatriates, but this is our base and where we want to spend our free time.

Jonathan purchased this farmhouse in 1993
Why Jonathan chose Montone

My wife would escape the heat and chaos of Rome each summer and stay in this area, so as soon as we had enough saved up we bought this old farm house; a real fix-er-upper, and now look at it!

We did not buy it as a vacation rental property, but there is so much extra room that we decided to share it (and help offset some of our expenses).

What makes this farmhouse unique

We are so close to being far away. With the amazing local food, great views, and peaceful surroundings we just feel so good the moment we arrive. One local Cappuccin monk commented, 'This place is so Franciscan!' We agree, there is something so soothing about this place; no exaggeration.

We have always wanted to travel to Italy...of course to see the sights that are world-renowned but also to have a family holiday where we could relax. We realized this dream with a 4 week stay in Italy this summer but the definite highlight of the trip was staying at this beautiful villa near Montone. It is just off the path of tourists that seem to gorge the country in the summer but also close enough in proximity to drive to many of the major destinations. Montone is a quintessential medieval village with excellent food and the friendliest people! The villas themselves were stunning and being able to be at this property truly encapsulated everything that we had idealized/visualized/glamorized about what an "Italian experience" should be. We truly cannot recommend this property enough...it is perfect for families but also for adults or couples. The owners were exceptionally gracious and helpful in responding to all of our questions and concerns and they were definitely an asset in terms of our travel planning. This property is up quite a steep hill so not for faint-of-heart drivers but it is easy to get to and easy to get to other destinations from so it is worth it! The pool is magnificent and provided much respite from the heat of the summer in Italy. There are truly not enough adequate words to describe how wonderful this experience was for our entire group...we have and will continue to recommend this property to friends and will also plan to return ourselves in the future!

Owner's Response: Thank you for the complements and your gracious recommendation Zoe! It is true that the road up is a bit steep and narrow - we are used to it, but I can see why you point it out; good point.
We hope to meet up with you again one day and it was nice meeting you. Best regards,

This is the most idyllic spot. We spent 2 beautiful weeks here and could not recommend it more highly! Wonderful and hospitable hosts and so much to do - eat, drink, visit the hill towns, and chill by the pool or on the terrace. We even made bread and pizza in the outdoor pizza oven!

Owner's Response: Thank you Jane and James for offering to share your bread making expertise; we really enjoyed the the process with you as well as eating the outcome!

Incredibly beutiful

5 of 5
Submitted: July 3, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We are a family with 4 children from 2-12 yrs and were looking for a place with peace, privacy and a safe pool. We were extremely lucky to find Campo della Fiora. The view is incredible, the pool perfect and we managed to fit ourselves in il Fienile while the kids favour to sleep in the same room. This old farmhouse is renovated with good taste and excellent functionality, and the garden around is beautiful and well kept. This was really a luxury holiday for us. There are several places of interest to visit around within one hour drive or less. Montone itself is a picturesque village within 10 minutes drive.

We also appreciate the support and hints from the owner and the property manager.

We can recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful place.

LITTLE KNOWN PARADISE

5 of 5
Submitted: June 20, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
This beautiful cottage has been tastefully renovated while keeping the charm of its significant history. The rooms are comfortable and well maintained while the views and ambiance cannot be bought. The farm house sit atop a secluded hillside which is only minutes from the Montone township by car. The property offers the ultimate in privacy with the convenience of a short drive to shops and facilities. We hope to return soon.

Owner's Response: Dave and Jo are from a paradise themselves; we have been to Tasmania twice and would love to return, so when people from such a beautiful place make such favorable comments then it adds extra value for us as owners.

We are glad that you have enjoyed our Little Known Paradise as much as we do. Thank you so much.

Porcilaia for Two

5 of 5
Submitted: May 9, 2012 Stayed: March 2012
Found Porcilaia to be perfect for us! We had one of our greatest holiday ..... even decided not to travel to Rome as we had originally planned!

Views are at the location are outstanding ..... the whole 360 deg.

The location is ideal for peace and quiet, with short day trips to nearby villages and to Perugia and Assisi.

Matteo was very kind and helpful.

We highly recommend and we certainly plan on going back.
Owner's Response: Thomas ans Emma are very lucky people as they had spectacular weather of a whole week in March; then the following week when we were there we had more typical March weather but it was still very enjoyable. Thank you for your comments and we hope to see you again in Montone.
