"We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Bastiola. The apartment is incredibly well equipped. We really felt at home. The restaurant and visit recommendations were really helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay and thank you for your hospitality!"

"We hugely enjoyed our stay. We have holidayed in many self catering properties over the years in Italy, France and Crete, but Villa Bastiola hits the highest 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 with everything that one needs - toaster, coffee, blender, pots, pans and knives - obvious stuff but very often missing or poor quality. You have managed to do it all to a fantastic standard and also provide a helpful basic supply of food stuffs in the kitchen and washing powders etc... Things like the internet connection and Sky Tv are excellent. Setting wise, fantastic views and the patio is a great place to relax and read the books from the library. Lots of tourist materials, including a very detailed map of the area. Beautiful flowers and lavender. All in all a huge attention to detail which we hope your other guests appreciate. Surely there cannot be that many properties that hit this standard?"
Paul and Penny - UK

Meg and Andy - UK

"Looking for a nice place for a holiday is always exciting. You see the pictures and the description but the real thing is always a surprise. So it was this time: Villa Bastiola is a very pleasant surprise. It feels good, it is very complete and even more than that. Everything one could need was there. The owners are wonderful hosts. They made us really feel at home and helped us with all kinds of practical information. The surroundings are great, the mist in the valley and the nice view over the mountains. We wish you all the best with Villa Bastiola! Thank you very much!"

"We enjoyed our stay and participating in the Umbrian way of life. Can recommend the restaurant just down the road and especially the limoncello with the host before we left each evening! Apartment is beautifully finished and comfortable. Good luck!"
Jon and Marilyn - UK

"Thank you so much for everything! You made our stay so wonderful. We loved it here! Great hospitality!"
Miriam and Diego - USA

"We all enjoyed our stay at Villa Bastiola very much and wished that we could have spent more time savouring the delights of the difficult blend of modern conveniences with rural charm that you have accomplished with considerable charm and style. The IUGG Conference demands meant we left early and returned late. None the less we will remember the lovely views we awoke to and the sunsets. I Mandriani is a real asset, we had six splendid meals there! Many thanks."
Paul, David, Sarah and Scott - UK

"Thank you for a lovely holiday in beautiful Villa Bastiola, we've really enjoyed our stay. Every day has been memorable but we particularly enjoyed the trip over to Lake Trasimeno with lunch at the restaurant on the pass and a boat trip from Tuoro to Isola Maggiore. Being able to stroll down the hill for an evening meal at I Mandriani is a really good way to end the day!"
Barbara, Tony, Frances and Hannah - UK

"Thanks a lot for making us feel so at home in this wonderful paradise in Umbra! J Ah, and we do strongly recommend the Syrah wine bar in Città di Castello to wine lovers; food is great too and of course people are extremely nice…"
Margot, Yves, Dana, Laurent - France

"We have enjoyed the hilltops, villages, the food, the people and especially Villa Bastiola. We have been gratified by the generosity of people in dealing with our language deficiencies and our attempts to speak Italian. The climate and agriculture are very similar to our region in Australia so there have been many parallels and reminders of home."
Tara and Robert - Australia

"Thank you for the wonderful opportunity of sharing your home. We had a great time in exploring and enjoying the country and its people. If prepared to "have a go" we were really welcomed and experienced good times. It was interesting that the majority of Italian words we learned were food. I wonder why!"
