About this property

the Pigsties - 3 people Casale Monticchio, a 17th century farmhouse

We created this 90 sqm apartment from the old pigsties. Why they gave the pigs three beautiful south facing arched windows we still don’t know!
The open-plan layout was designed to take into consideration wheel chair access as this is the only apartment on one level. The feeling is quite contemporary with one stone wall and the others being painted white.
It is the most secluded of our apartments as it faces south and has views across the open fields toward Mercatello, where there is a nice bar run by our friend Paola. There is a 20 by 5 meters swimming pool shared with the other three units.

Happy Memory; This was the first place we actually started working on ourselves before involving builders. Somehow we managed to persuade our neighbors from Perugia to come and help us remove a 13.4 m long wall. Tiziana picked up the sledge hammer and proceeded to knock down the wall while the rest of us filled and emptied the wheelbarrows

Perfecto!

This property was everything we hoped for an more. The hosts were a hoot and we felt so welcomed. My partner and I were working here for the week remotely and were on video calls most of the day and the Internet didn't flinch despite being in a very remote location. We felt really at home here. The accomodation itself was super comfortable. Its strange how many properties in Italy at this price have such poor furniture but the pig stys so so comfortable and felt like a home away from home. The pool and grounds are lush and the kitchen is great to cook in. There's also a really good butcher in town and we were able to BBQ most nights! Highly reccomend this property for somewhere off the beaten track. Great for down time and relaxing. Thank you to our amazing hosts for such a special trip. We'll definitely be back to visit soon ❤

Idyllic peaceful setting with easy access to beautiful Umbria in splendidly design accommodation

Two of us stayed the week in the single bedroom accommodation, one of four which have been designed and converted beautifully by Andrew and Hugues, who were splendid hosts. The apartment was well equipped for self catering, although the local cuisine is excellent and had a tranquil, secluded terrace. Ate every meal on the terrace and used the BBQ extensively. The gardens are beautiful, with some interesting sculptures and lovely located infinity pool, which was a little on the cool side in June. Access is along a white track and if you visit follow Andrew and Hugues' instructions rather than rely on sat-nav as it will lead you along the more difficult route. There are nice walks from the accommodation, which if you are brave enough can include fording the river and the surrounding area is covered beautiful hilltop towns and villages - our favourites were Spello and Orvetio. Rome, Firenza and the coast are only 2 hours away if you would like trips further afield. It is a lovely quiet unspoilt part of Italy and we would recommend to anyone to stay with Andrew and Hugues.

A great place to relax, beautifully renovated, fabulous hosts

We were in a great, nicely decorated studio set slightly apart from the beautifully renovated farmhouse. Had a very quite and restful time with daily excursions (by car) into the surrounding areas. Hugues and Andrew were very welcoming and helpful hosts, very knowledgeable about the area, had great tips. We loved the cats, specially Sybil, shame she didn't want to come home with us :)

Brilliant place to escape

We stayed for a week last May as we were over in Italy looking for Wedding venues. Hughes and Andrew were great hosts and made us feel really welcome. The apartment was lovely and had absolutely everything we needed but our favourite bit was the pool overlooking the mountains! We're getting married in May this year and will be recommending the apartments to our guests as somewhere to stay after the wedding!

Traumhaft schön

Die Bilder lügen nicht - das Casale Monticchio ist ein Kleinod in Umbrien. Das Anwesen ist sehr charmant, die Räume sind ansprechend und zugleich eigenwillig angenehm gestaltet. Und die beiden Vermieter sind herzensgute Gastgeber. Kurzum: Ein Quartier, das zu Wiederholungen verführt.

wunderschön

wir können uns nur den vorangegangenen Bewertungen anschliessen. Das Ist nicht einfach ein Apartement, das ist ein Arrangement. wir fühlten uns nicht wie Feriengäste, sondern wie Freunde, die in der, mit Liebe eingerichteten Gästewohnung untergebracht waren. Die beiden Vermieter Hugues und Andrew haben uns wie Freunde Willkommen geheizen, es gab zwei super nette, tolle Essen..... Der Pool fantastisch! Einfach Klasse, und Danke nochmals an die beiden Vermieter!!!
