10 of us stayed at Monte Santa Maria Tiberina and had a wonderful time. Robbie was extremely helpful before hand, helping us arrange a driver for a day in Florence, a dinner cooked at the villa and reservations at the restaurant steps away. Sylvia welcomed us and supported us throughout our week. We enjoy day trips to Florence and Arezzo as well as visiting family near by. The house provided ample space for being together as a large group and the pool was a great respite on warm, sunny days. And the views... absolutely incredible from every and any corner of the house all week long. We very highly recommend it!

Spent two weeks here and was simply amazing. The property / house is beautiful and impeccably decorated, and we loved the peace and tranquility of the area. Joe and Robbie were very gracious hosts - the house came with an essentials gift basket and they and even dropped off a bottle of prosecco on my birthday! Our caretaker Sylvia was always available to answer any questions and provide recommendations. Loved everything about our stay and look forward to coming back!

The location of the house is in a small and preserved village which is very high on the hills of Umbria. The views from the house is amazing !! especially from the house terrace . The house contains a number of rooms , designed and decorated in a special and very good taste. Attention has been given to each and every item in it. All in all - we experienced a wonderful time !

Stunning historic home tastefully renovated. Beautiful village setting in close proximity to a hilltop restaurant. Truly wonderful experience.

The pictures just don't do this place justice. The house is inside an ancient fortified Etruscan village up on a mountain which includes a castle and a church and is home to about 35 permanent residents, I was told. I have never seen a more amazing view than the one from our terrace. The house is on 4 levels (actually 5 including the pool.) We had a group of 13 which included a 20-month-old and an 81-year-old and we all did just fine, but if you have a member of your group that has trouble with stairs, it might be a problem. All the furnishings were great, each room having its own bathroom. Although it was high up in the mountains, it was a little warm in the house the last few nights so Patricia, who manages the place, graciously furnished us with fans--a big help. Walking around the little streets of this village is such a unique experience and one of the best things about the town is the little restaurant Oscari, which has amazing food and the view from its terrace is spectacular. One of my favorite things was to walk the few steps up to the restaurant in the afternoons and have bruschetta and a glass of wine. For major grocery shopping, the town of Citta di Castello just down the mountain has a great grocery store, but Oscari's has a little shop attached where you may purchase meats, cheese, milk, juice. We spent our first week in Italy in Chianti at a large villa and it was spectacular, too, but this place is really an adventure and must be seen to be believed!
