An unforgettable holiday between nature and art. Ideal family friendly location.

Located in the hilly green heart of Umbria, Podere Gnani is a 18th Century beautiful stone colonic villa surrounded by one hectare of fenced off private garden, partly cultivated with olive groves, from which a good self-produced oil is obtained.
In the higher area of the garden is located the private swimming pool, overlooking the splendid panorama of the valley.
The house was completely restored in the 2000s, in full respect of materials and colors of the local building tradition. Even the furnishings – all coming from an authentic antique familiar selection - contribute in creating the special atmosphere of the property.
Presently, the house is organized on three floors, connected to each other by an internal staircase. Each floor is also accessible from the garden.
In the house there are four double bedrooms and three full bathrooms (one with a bath-tub and shower, the other two with a shower). An additional bed is available in the small living room on the lower floor. Overall, the house can accomodate up to 9 people.

Amazing Property and Host
We stayed here for a family reunion and the villa was absolutely amazing (one member of our group is already looking to come back next year to stay!). Great host, great communication, beautiful property - we would absolutely stay here again next time we're in Italy!

Idyllic home and setting
A fabulous place to spend 2 weeks with grown-up family. Beautifully appointed home with so many seating areas both inside and out - and a wonderful pool. The local manager, Sandra, was excellent- can’t praise her enough.

Wonderful property, owner and team!
Beautiful property in an idyllic Italian valley. Property was clean and ready for us. We loved the Italian coffee makers and appreciated the coffee to use with them. We did need to bring Keurig-type cups for those of us who preferred the other coffee maker. We did not cook much, but the herb garden just outside the kitchen is a nice touch. The house is in the midst of a beautiful, very rural valley which means you need to keep all food put away to not attract outside creatures. The beds were comfortable and bedding clean. The bedrooms had dressers and wardrobes and opened up to beautiful views and patios. We felt very safe. The property is secured with a private gate and can be locked up tight. The area is quiet, with other estates sprinkled here and there around the valley. Though, we did have a gecko visit us in the lower level bedroom one evening. The bathrooms had linens and soap, shampoos, etc. The showers were refreshing albeit small as can be expected. The water pressure was very good and supplied enough hot water for 6 adults to feel refreshed and ready for another day of exploring. Communication with Valeria was easy and she was always ready with a quick YES to all of our requests. Valeria has a team of people to ensure your stay is as good as can be. Sandra makes sure the house is ready for you and greets you upon arrival with a tour of the house. Marga helped us create and took care of the details for an itinerary filled with tours, wine tastings, truffle hunting, a private chef, private drivers, dining reservations, and even joined us on a trip to Gubbio to translate as we researched our grandfather's childhood home. With her help and the help of Mauricio (our exceptional driver and translator) and a few kind citizens of Gubbio, we were not only able to find our grandfather's home, but met a distant relative and found the final resting places of other ancestors! Linda was our private chef on our last night. She prepared a number of authentic dishes from the region, a few were very similar to dishes we grew up enjoying. Finally, a word about Mauricio, our driver. He was always prompt and patient when we were running late. And, the help, translations and enthusiasm from both him and Marga to help us find our grandfather's home is truly a treasure we all hold dear. We could not have done it without them. Hurray to Valeria for putting together such a wonderful team.

Dreamy location for a family vacation
We had a lovely week at this property with our family! The atmosphere of the house is cozy, the place is very nicely renovated respecting the history but with modern amenities. The swimming pool is superb. The location is beautiful and peaceful, amazing views. Still not a long drive e.g. to the grocery store. Would definitely recommend this place for a family vacation! Only negative thing during this July heatwave was that there is no air conditioning and there was a little too warm inside the house as well.

Highly recommended
This villa and the surrounding countryside are beautiful. The interior is as-advertised, the pool is beautiful, and the grounds are immaculate. Do keep in mind that the location is somewhat remote. It is easy to find using Google Maps, but the final mile or so is on a gravel road that is quite steep and rutted in places. We were able to get in and out without great difficulty in a front wheel drive car with normal clearance.

Beautiful villa in a beautiful spot
We loved our stay! The villa is very charming and comfortable. We loved spending time by the pool and walking around the area. We were in the area for a wedding at the vineyard just down the street, and I cannot imagine a better place to have stayed! I highly recommend staying at Valeria’s place!

Umbertide
We spend perfect holidays in this house nested in a very quiet area, a few minutes from Umbertide. The house is very confortable, well equiped and with a beautiful view. You can hardly see other houses around so it is very peaceful without any noise. The pool is very large and agreable, with a view toward the countryside. It was easy to reach with the indications given by the owner and the house keeper was very helpful to discover the suroundings. We highly recomend this place.
