- "This very well equipped and comfortable property was in a very quiet location with magnificent views. Just 10 minutes drive from the centre of beautiful Orvieto, everything we needed was provided with space and peace to truly relax both inside and in the lovely private outside space. Simonetta, our host, was very welcoming and helpful, and available should we have needed anything. Although we didn't use it ourselves, there was a private swimming pool available on the owners property just a short distance away. There is much to do and see within quite a short distance and Orvieto itself is a fascinating place. The Orvieto Card which gave entry to a number of historic buildings and museums was definitely worth buying. And the Duomo was truly beautiful! This was the first time we have stayed in Umbria and the combination of lovely countryside and wonderful villages and towns to explore made it a really good holiday destination. We couldn't fault anything. "

- "Our stay at Podere Consani was ideal. The home is well appointed and we cooked many meals and wanted for not. We were invited to the fresh herbs from the garden and enjoyed the home grown olive oil provided in a lovely welcome basket. Our host was absolutely incredible and available for any inquiries. Also, she had provided some provisions that we did not anticipate we would be needing (extra toilet paper, and laundry detergent). The property is clean and comfortable with plenty of room. We were able to have space and time alone as well as gathering for meals, coffee and wine. Very comfortable for 3-4 people. The drive up to the property is scenic and tranquil. It was a little tricky at first but then we sorted out the gps and it became super simple. The short trip down the hill to the market, or a little further into the lovely town of Lucca makes this location perfect to get away and enjoy simplicity or venture not too far out to experience the magic of the antiquity of Italy. We will come back again. We are so grateful for Susan, her family and, of course, the wonderful animals that greeted us upon arrival and every morning for coffee."

The terrace is a dream, and the other rooms are very lovingly decorated, and even the refrigerator was filled for us that was totally nice and the kitchen was excellent, it wasn't missing anything. It was brilliant that there were two bicycles which we always used to get bread, or just for a trip by bicycle to the beach. Those that like to stay calm and like seclusion then this is just right. I would stay there any time, especially when traveling as a group where nobody bothers you and others do not feel disturbed, which is perfect, and you enjoy your holiday.The choice of beaches in the area is excellent. We were almost at a different beach every day. There is nothing negative I remember, we were all happy to talk about this holiday. Sauereisen Family from Stuttgart

- "Perfect place to spend your holidays when you are looking for a quiet place, with a great space outside around the house to relax, make BBQ and spend your time in a in a lounger or hammock. The house is perfectly equipped with everything a man needs and even more. Well-kept to the last detail, this beautiful house has been prepared by the owners so that they can also spend time there with pleasure. If necessary, the owner Paola was always available and supported us in all matters. Joachim for his part, advised us many interesting things to see and experience, also many fantastic restaurants and ideas for trips. In such an environment and with such support from the owners, we spent a wonderful 3 weeks there, feeling just like at home. We would love to go back there again. Thank you very much for everything."
