Agriturismo Piano Grande

Breakfast is included and is simple, complete, and properly Umbrian, which makes the already reasonable price feel like good value. The farmhouse is kept in good shape and has an authentic character, with roomy bedrooms and generous shared areas indoors and out. It sits high up, with lovely views over the hills. The owners are exceptionally kind, happy to answer questions and offer suggestions. A coffee table or mini-fridge in the rooms might be useful, though.

Alberico and his wife have such big hearts. They made us feel at ease in their beautiful place, and were always kind and available with advice or help whenever we needed something. We’ll be back soon.

The owners were warm and hospitable, and I’d gladly come back. It’s a wonderfully quiet spot if you need a break from city chaos, though there’s no air conditioning or TV, and breakfast would be a welcome extra. A pool would be nice too. The rustic rooms have distinctive coffered ceilings. We stayed in "Uncle's room," which could use some updating: the bed, wardrobe, bedside tables, and lamps. Even the slightest movement made the bed creak, so sleeping was difficult. The bathroom is large, but I couldn’t understand why there were padlocked cabinets in it. The old dolls on the shelves also felt a little unsettling.

Alberico, the owner, is very discreet but happy to chat. The property is in good condition, with a spacious, carefully maintained garden. The rooms are large and decorated in a farmhouse style.
