"This is the most fabulous place for a couple to spend some special time..
near Perugia and run by our dear friends Carol and Antonio - Magic..."
Meg & Gordon - England

"We have had a wonderful stay. The apartment looked very nice, the swimming pool was great and so was the garden. Carol and Antonio were very nice company and they made us feel more than at home, providing us with many ideas and tips for sight seeing. Surely a beautiful and comfortable B&B, on a very quiet, yet central location."
Merlijn & Ellis - Netherlands

"Carol and Antonio gave us a really warm welcome. The accommodation was very charming and cosy (the bed in particular was really comfy). Loads to see in the surrounding area and all in all we had a fabulous time."

"Dear Carol & Family, thank you very much for the great and unforgettable time with you! You have the most wonderful home with the most beautiful view. We had perfect days in this great accommodation. These began with a lovingly prepared breakfast and could be perfectly arranged because of the beautiful tips from Carol. Both the recommendations for visiting nearby cities, sights and museums and the restaurant tips were an absolute hit! There is so much to see here that we would have loved to stay longer and will definitely come back again. Thank you for showing us a wonderful part of Umbria! All the best."

penso davvero che porteremo con noi la sensazione di questi giorni, la tranquillità e la pace di un
posto fuori dal tempo.
Grazie di averci accolti nella tua casa stupenda con la tua grazia unica.
A presto!"
Lucrezia e Leonardo - Italy

"Dear Carol,
a huge GRAZIE MILLE from the Bottom of our hearts! We needed to relax after intense days, weeks and even months: you gave us much more than that. After less than half a day here, we thought we’d been here for three weeks! You’re such a wonderful, friendly and caring hostess – and this place is so beautiful, well kept, inspiring and peaceful. You know we have a special relationship with Ireland and the Irish people, this stay for us was yet another evidence that you cherish a special, unique quality of hospitality."
Joëlle and Pierre Emmanuel - Belgium

"A massive thank you for having us as guests in your wonderful home. We enjoyed the few days so much, too short for sure! Days filled with relaxation, great hosts and lovely food by the pool. Thanks a lot and we will surely come again. All the best."
Svenja & Oskar - Germany

"Dear Carol And Antonio, we got to experience a wonderful home put together through Irish and Italian warmth.
Thank you for sharing these days with us.
See you soon"

"In summary, we could not have found a more perfect place to stay. We feel truly blessed to have experienced this Umbrian paradise, a home from home. Every detail has been lovingly thought of San Giovanni di Montenero's beauty is matched only by the kindness & hospitality of Carol and her lovely family. Thank you so much for having us, for your care, wonderful recommendations, delicious food, sense of humour, wonderful stories and for creating such a special experience for us to remember. We will be back! P.S Looking forward to you teaching us how to paint!"

"Cari Carol e Antonio, se il lusso è la cura dell’ospite, quello che abbiamo vissuto in questi giorni e super lusso. Le vostre attenzioni, le cure, le colazioni ricche e belle a guardarsi, il pane e le torte fatte in casa senza glutine per accontentare un ospite celiaco, le vostre discrete presenze ma sempre attenta e caloroso, i tanti consigli per valorizzare le ricchezze del vostro territorio. Uno di questi, la cantina della famiglia legata alla vostra casa Terre Margaritelli, ha creato un fil rouge che può sembrare casuale, ma anche il segno che sei nel posto giusto giusto al momento giusto.
Grazie per aver deciso di destinare questa porzione della vostra casa all’accoglienza degli ospiti. Ci auguriamo che la vita ci porti ancora ad approfittarne in futuro. Tanto bene!"
Raffaella e Matteo -Italy

"Dear Carol and family, thank you so much for the absolutely amazing stay. We are both so sad we're only here for two nights. You have such a magical place and such kind and welcoming personalities. It's been such a special experience for us and many thanks for finding such amazing restaurants for us! The food and ambience were perfect. We will definitely be back! All the best!
P.S. And thanks again for sharing what you do your ceramics are gorgeous."
Caroline and Christopher - Denmark/USA

"Dear Carol and Antonio and kids we don't know where to start, you made our stay so perfect! This was our first B&B experience and we're sure nobody can top this! Thank you so much for all your kindness, the lovely breakfast and the amazing meals! We couldn’t ask for more. All of your tips were so nice and welcome, we had the best days here and we can’t wait to receive the beautiful handmade vase you’re gonna make for us. We are sad that our holiday at your beautiful house came to an end. We would love to visit your B&B again, so this is not a goodbye but I’ll see you later!
Love Yai and Marleen from the Netherlands."

"Dear Carol, you must be so proud of all the skills you have! You're an amazing chef (we can tell from the most delicious birthday cakes you made us), a wonderful artist, a great decorator (the B&B is just perfect), a passionate gardener and without a doubt a loving mother. We loved every single minute of our stay. This area is so full of history and the surrounding hills are unspoilt, but this B&B and its owners are the cherry on the cake (can’t stop thinking of cakes right now). Please keep up the great work, we might make it a yearly birthday thing!"
Viooltje and Geert - Belgium

"Dear Carol and family, thanks for having us in your fabulous house! We've had an amazing time here; lovely dinners and breakfast, good company and last but not least: Jack <3.
We will always remember you because of the beautiful ceramic plate we take home.
See you again here! Kind regards"
Annamieke and Erwin- Netherlands

"Dear Carol Antonio and family, we just had the best honeymoon we could imagine! Thank you for your hospitality, the amazing breakfast and the great recommendations for lunch, dinners, sites to see. Also thank you for the amazing four course dinner, (OMG! incredible) that was fantastic (one day Carol you need to give me the secret for the tiramisu!) We felt like at home and we are sorry to leave. You have made a lovely home and we hope we can come back one day, maybe for our first anniversary, who knows?
P.S.: Thank you Francesco for taking care of us on Friday night. If you come to Madrid please let us know!"

Marco e Patrizia - Italy

"A special place, with lovely people. We had such a perfect few days away and couldn't have asked for greater hospitality. The setting is truly magical, suggestions for dinner and lunch were spot on and Jack was always there to keep us company. We will be back! Thank you Carol, Antonio and your lovely family"
Andy and Jemma - UK

"We have absolutely loved everything about our stay. Thank you so much for your generous hospitality and for all your lovely family making us feel so welcome. From the fantastic breakfasts, the suggestions on places to visit and eat (including the easy to follow directions), the beautiful ceramics and the two best evening meals of our stay. Not forgetting the fantastic pool and of course the infamous Jack! Looking forward to coming back again soon. Ci siamo divertiti! Grazie mille"
