6 Reviews of Property 247510 in Todi, Italy

We were three couples in our 70ies and very active so the 4 flights of stairs in house did not bother us. It was fascinating for us to see how the owner had been able to modernize this 700 year old house and still maintain the charm of the place. We thoroughly enjoyed the style of the house, the ceilings, the antique farm doors, and re-purposed lights. It just took a little getting used to the odd arrangement of functionality and style in the kitchen. The views of the Todi country side from the bedroom windows and the 3rd floor patio were classic Umbria. The owner had suggested a chef to come in and give us cooking lesions in the house and it turned out to be a night to be remembered forever. An incredible 7 course dinner served over 5 hours with every one getting their hands dirty.
The main piazza in Todi was only a short 7 minute (uphill) walk away. A very interesting and pretty hilltop town that was not overrun by tourists as we had previously encountered in Pisa, Florence and Rome. Todi is a very clean, attractive and picturesque old city. We had briefly stopped in Todi in 2008 and had vowed to come back and spend more time. We are glad we did.

Dear George:

We are feeling very nostalgic about our 4-week stay in your lovely home in Todi. It was remarkable to live in a 700-year old house in a medieval hill town, which you have so tastefully restored. Your former home does not feel like a rental house at all. You did indeed put your heart and soul into it.

Anne just loved having breakfast in the garden, watching the swifts fly, and picking the cherries. The figs will be ripe in a week. Lucky for the next people.


Thanks so much for calling us from time to time. It was very comforting and helpful to have you so readily available, and to have Isabella to clean for us.

Todi is a wonderful place to spend a protracted period of time. I commend the city administration for keeping the city spotlessly clean. It made it so pleasant to walk up the stairs by the Etruscan wall to the piazza for an evening prosecco. A wonderful, peaceful place to linger and admire one of the great public squares in Italy.


Todi is also an excellent location from which to visit all of Umbria. We returned to Orvieto, Perugia and Assissi so many times that we did not get to many places we wanted to visit. I suppose we could have done so, but Todi is too pleasant a place to spend the day, and walks in the neighboring countryside are so pleasant, that staying home often won out over exploring new places.

Two things we hadn’t anticipated. First, Todi’s Olympic-sized swimming pool, which is kept immaculately clean. A great place on a hot day. Second, the nightly soccer games on the field below your house with 4 on 4 matches between local teams. Our grandchildren, who are soccer players, were mightily impressed!

We are so glad that we spent a weekend in your apartment in Florence and had a chance to meet you.

Warm regards,

Jon and Anne Halverson

Our month long stay at the charming Todi house over exceeded our expectations. It is a truly beautiful, comfortable and cozy home with views that take your breath away. And, of course, George was so helpful and personable, answering our many questions about the house and area.
We spent many many hours sitting in the garden "dining room" enjoying endless bottles of wine, fabulous dinners dreaming and planning the next hilltown to explore, the next fabulous restaurant meal to experience. And Todi is full of wonderful restaurants and shops with the friendliest people. A truly exquisite town. We were there during the Arte Festval of Todi, a truly enriching cultural experience. A place to warm your heart and soul

The Todi House was more than I expected. I would sit in wonder and absorb the beautiful design, architecture, and views. The grounds, inside and out were, immaculate. The huge dining room was our evening focal point where a jug of wine from the local winery was dearly enjoyed and plans were made for our next day's adventure. George was extremely patient and helpful, even recommending a driver to and from Rome and a rental car service. Due to Todi's central location and a rental car, our daily sojourns included eleven beautiful hilltop towns. Needing a day of rest, we enjoyed the numerous sites, pastry shops, and eateries. Our favorite was Pizzeria Cavour, a short distance from the main square. I have recommended The Todi House to all my friends as it affords privacy and a great location,
