About this villa rental

La Pizzichina is a very charming old stone villa dating from the early 1600's where the time seems to stop.
It is set on a hilltop with a breathtaking view, facing the beautiful medieval city of Todi in the heart of Umbria. Excellent for an unforgettable holiday...

The old farmhouse has been sensitively converted into a warm country home with lovely antiques and comfortable modern furniture to match the old terracotta floors and beamed ceilings. On the ground floor, a spacious living room and a very nice kitchen open into the garden and a stone loggia surrounded by a well-kept garden with extensive lawns. A second sitting room and a television and reading room on the first floor provide alternative areas for lounging. Just below the house, the swimming pool is set on paved terrace with plenty of garden furniture positioned to enjoy superb views of Todi and the stunning surrounding countryside.

We had a family of 8 adults staying in this house for a week. The house and property around it were beautiful, clean and comfortable. The area is probably the best and most convenient area to explore Umbria - about 10 minutes drive to Todi, and under an hour to other medieval towns of Umbria - Gubbio, Assisi, etc. The view from the house is gorgeous - you are on a hill, overlooking Todi, just stunning. The kitchen was well stocked, you have a barbecue, there are grapevines and fig trees (we enjoyed fresh figs from the trees!), there is a beautiful pool. Plenty of space for a big family or a group of friends. The owners were very responsive in all communications. The house is a little difficult to find, but the owners guided us to it perfectly, and the housekeeper was there to meet us. It was a perfect vacation, and if we return to Umbria, we will definitely want to stay here again. Umbria is so beautiful, people are so warm, and this villa is just a perfect place to stay to experience it!

We spent a blissful week at La Pizzicchina recently and were overwhelmed by the beauty of the home itself, its furnishings, the gardens, the amazing view of Todi and the huge swimming pool. We looked at the pictures in the ad again after and there is not a single thing that was not there. Moreover, the owners were very helpful during the booking process. When meeting Signora del Bono upon arriving at the property, she showed us all around and was very lovely and accommodating. It was like visiting a favourite aunt's house, as all private things are there and one feels not so much in a rental as a guest in a lived in house. It was also very pleasant that a cleaning lady came by every other day and invisibly cleaned kitchen and bathrooms. All in all we had a hard time leaving after a week and will most definitely be back! Grazie from Munich, Germany, Martina

We spent an unforgetful time in the wonderful Todi, Italy. The house was better than expected as there was much more room indoors and outdoors as originally thought – the pictures in the website just don’t do justice. The owner showed us around the house once arrived and checked up on us to ensure everything was ok. 14 people are able to stay here confortably. The pool was great, large and deep and provided much needed refreshment during the heatwave! The sunlounges by the pool were in a good condition. The garden surrounding the house was neatly kept. The house, garden and pool were tidied by the housekeeper and the groundskeeper daily or bi-daily. We opted for cooking at the house by ourselfs and the kitchen was fitted with the necessary pots and pans. The house has a massive pizza oven and making pizzas was a great experience (the oven was prepped ready by the friendly groundskeeper). As the main reason for our visit was to celebrate ones birthday, we pre-ordered a tartaletti (an italian style cake) from the owner to be baked for us and it was delivered ontime at 7 am as we requested (exellent service!). And it was delicious! Over all we are very happy about our visit to the Villa and the time spent there.

The grounds of the villa are absolutely stunning. The views are breath taking! The pool is huge; perfect for 14 people and long enough to do lengths in. The seating areas outside the house are perfect for playing games, reading books and cooking big meals for everyone to enjoy outside. The rooms inside the house are all very comfortable, cool and spacious.The kitchen is very well equipped and easy to cook en masse in. Roberta was very helpful and friendly, please thank her again from us! Todi is a beautiful little town. We enjoyed meals out there 3 times in the week. It is very easily accessible by car, and the traditional Umbrian food we had there was delicious! We would love to return to Todi, particularly to this villa. Thank you!

We were a family of three generations, 12 pax in total, and we had a great experience for two weeks at Villa Todi. The staff took good care of the house, garden and pool and the house were very spacious as well as the garden. Todi is a lovely little town with fantastic views and good restaurants. The is a couple of other really nice towns/villages 30-40 min away from the house and also the wine district of Montefalco is close by so we had no problems to entertain ourselves for 14 days. The children went for rafting and it is also possible to climb if you are in for a more physical experience. All in all - 5 stars! Peter with family

We stayed at La Pizzichina for 2 weeks in August and could not recommend it highly enough. The house is large, has great charm and all of the rooms are spacious. The configuration with the bathrooms is excellent. The kitchen is well stocked and leads onto a large terrace overlooking Todi. The garden is beautifully maintained and has many areas for sitting out and enjoying the fabulous views. The pool is glorious in every respect and gets the sun for the entire day. You are surrounded by fields and there is complete tranquility. The staff are exceptionally friendly and do everything they can to make your stay enjoyable. Todi is ideally situated for visiting Umbria and the southern parts of Tuscany. A great find!

This was our second visit with 4 Geandchildren and their parents. Plenty of room in the house and a beautiful pool where we spent most of our time. We had delicious dinners prepared by a delightful cook and the charming maid.Despite no aircon plenty of fans were available in the bedrooms . We had a wonderful holiday and hope to go back again.
