Photos and Description of the Spoleto vacation farmhouse rental
Ideal for lovers and families alike, close to Assisi, Perugia, Orvieto + Rome
Villa Marianna, a fabulous 16C manor house with WiFi in every apt, its rooms large, light and airy. In an intensely romantic setting, the 5 self-catering apartments are well-spaced from each other : A + C occupy the entire 1st floor, B + D occupy the entire ground floor, each apartment separated by spacious hall-ways, and E in a position on its own, annexed at the end of the house. Hewn from the rocks, this majestic house looks over the pool and the magnificent, panoramic landscape, embracing monasteries, olive groves, woods, vineyards, fields of poppies, cherry orchards and hill-top villages, furling and unfolding through valleys and across a grand plain towards Assisi. If you are seeking an intimate experience with Nature, fun and frolics by the pool, within easy reach of “the bright lights”, then, Villa Marianna is for you. Further, subject to demand, we are offering lunches, using our home grown ingredients plus our VM biological olive oil.

We were retired ! We 'fell' into our holiday rental business by accident. It started as a hobby after someone pleaded with us to rent them our house in San Mamiliano, while we were away.
We now have 2 major partners and between us, we offer about 40 very diverse villas, apartments and pool properties, both in central Spoleto and close by. Please see them all on my personal website, the address of which you will find at the bottom of the HomeAway page of this property.
However, we still do not regard ourselves as 'proper business people' because we care far more about contributing to making our guests' holidays fantastic than we do about making money. Indeed, Trip Advisor has awarded us their highest accolade, their ultimate badge of excellence, which can be used to promote any of our properties, as a result of the volume of brilliant reviews we have received from all over the world.
We hope you stay with us !

a week in Villa Marianna
Our companion occupied apt. E, apt. D and apt. A. The other 2 apartments remained empty so, in theory, we had the house for ourselves.....Well: almost for ourselves.
On the 2nd night of our stay we found out that, apart from the 5 apartments, there was also a kind of restaurant in the same building located beneath the ground floor. From time to time people come here to have a family reunion or other type of parties. During our stay (7 days) there were 2 dinners and 1 long lasting lunch and on all the 3 occasions it was really loud and the whole area became more similar to a "piazza " in a nice italian town rather than to a quiet agriturismo we had hoped for. There was no information about this restaurant on the web page when we were making our reservation and this is why we were really disappointed.
To compensate us for this bad surprise Laurie invited us to one of the dinners. It was very nice of him and we do appreciate it, especially that the food was really good. However the fact stays the fact: nobody told us about the restaurant in the premises when we made our enquiry about the rental and we decided to stay in this property far away from any town because we wanted to have a quite place with no parties!
To summarize: we would love our stay in Villa Marianna if it had not been disturbed 3 times by the restaurant guests. We would consider coming back, preferably in a summer time, if we were sure that the restaurant would be closed. Otherwise we would rather look for a different place.
However, outside of the busiest 3 months of June, July and August, the villa is never fully occupied; and, because it is a mountain villa, we have found that, up to now, guests who have stayed there in quiet periods have found it rather too quiet and have often asked to move into Spoleto for a bit of life. If you are on your own, while you are perfectly safe, it can be a bit much to be in a huge detached villa, on your own, or, almost on your own, especially at night time. So, we decided that if there was an occasion for our chef to use the restaurant for local events, by appointment only, then, we thought that it would bring a bit of welcome life to the villa in such a quiet environment!!!
Indeed, when the above guests arrived, we waited for the usual phone-call to ask if we had anything available in town. And, when we didn't receive such a phone-call, we believed that maybe the fact we had provided the possibility of "more life" at Villa Marianna had done the trick !!
Certainly, in this case, we were guilty of a total error of judgement.

Wunderschöner Urlaub
Villa Marianna also has its own "cucina contadino" and a private chef, who prepares lunches and dinners (with unlimited top quality house wine!), by order, in the sensationally beautiful grounds for all our guests and at incredibly reasonable rates.
And, we now have our own animals in the adjacent field eg pygmy ponies and hens for the children to play with.
I translated this review, using Babelfish :
During the summer of 2009, a group of 17 of us spent 2 weeks in 3 of the apartments in Villa Marianna-Manor House. Everything was beautiful : the drive through the mountains to Villa Marianna was easy and the landscape all around, from beginning to end, was beautiful.
Once we arrived at Villa Marianna, we never wanted to leave. We loved the magnificent views that disappeared into the distance. We enjoyed breakfasts each day al fresco. We loved the very large and clean pool.
All the apartments were well equipped. However, if we asked for anything in addition, it was supplied instantly by Norma or Laurie, who are both very, very nice.
We hope to return to Villa Marianna one day. And, then, we are hoping to rent the whole house.
