"We hugely enjoyed our stay. Over the years we have holidayed in self catering in Italy, France and Crete but Villa Bastiola hits the highests standard in terms of decoration, bathrooms, kitchen etc... The bathrooms are immaculate and fitted out beautifully. The kitchen is exactly how one would want to have it at home. The setting is perfect, with fantastic views and we enjoyed sitting on the patio reading books from the extensive library! There is a huge attention to detail and we hope that the effort put into the property brings the owners the rewards they so richly deserve..."

Monte Santa Maria Tiberina
Festa d'autunno, 23 - 25th October 2009. The ancient tiny hilltop hamlet of Monte Santa Maria Tiberina is host to the annual Autumn Festival this coming weekend. For three days the cobbled streets are filled with stalls serving roasted chestnuts, porchetta, woodland goodies like Porcini mushrooms and truffles, locals parade through the streets in medieval dress and there is flame throwing and other entertainment! A lovely, traditional weekend in Umbria, really worth coming to see.
