Città della Pieve 301

The rolling green hills, ancient towns, pretty villages, and peaceful surroundings of the Umbrian countryside make for an idyllic retreat. Close to Tuscany and all of her charms but with plenty of her own as well, Umbria is a lush and picturesque part of the world with culinary delights, cultural riches, historical heritage, and much more besides to offer. So, if you have been browsing our Italy Villas, then why not consider a getaway in Umbria?

One incredible option, especially for those who might want to travel with some family members or friends, is Casa Vacanze Paradiso. This magnificent villa in Italy is nestled near the charming village of Case Lunghe and is just 30km from the famous Tuscan wine town of Montepulciano. Beloved destinations such as Cortona, Montalcino, Perugia, and Assisi are all within a near enough distance for easy day-trips while the likes of the Tuscan Coast, Florence, and Rome could be included should you put aside a day and get up early.

Nestled not far from the border between Umbria and Tuscany, the charming town of Città della Pieve is the birthplace of the famous Renaissance painter Il Perugino and is a medieval gem with winding streets, historic buildings, and panoramic views over the famously lush and lovely landscapes of Lake Trasimeno and the Val di Chiana. For those who want to experience a quintessentially Italian and picturesque spot, as well as the best of both regions, and to plan easy day-trips to the likes of Perugia, Cortona, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Assisi, Florence, and more, then it is a truly perfect base for your holiday in Italy. And, if you are after a vacation rental in Umbria that is equally charming, quintessentially Italian, and lovely in its own right, then Charming Apartment Cartoni is the ideal option!

When you are trying to plan the perfect vacation in Italy and you are browsing through the amazing and endless array of remarkable villas across our website, it can be hard to narrow it down and to decide upon exactly the right vacation rental for you and your travel companions! We sometimes spotlight particular favourites over on our blog or put together curated lists of properties according to location or a feature (being close to the sea, being romantic, being perfect for larger groups/weddings, etc). Some villas will be displayed on our homepage due to availability for certain periods or being part of a special offer. However, if you want the opinion of a previous renter and a customer rather than our choices – if you want to find out about the experience of actually staying in a property, what that feels like and which villas boast particularly charming features – then the best thing that you can do is go to our customer reviews page.

Here, you can read all about the experiences of previous guests; what they noted as special, if they would return again, what kind of holiday they had, nearby attractions to make note of, if a property is suitable for small kids, etc. Some of these reviews are lengthy and will touch on all sorts of information but some will only give a little glimpse of what you can expect – whatever detail lingers most in their mind – and this can be a key insight that only a previous guest could have about booking a particular villa. Both kinds of reviews are helpful in different ways but we’ll let you decide which ones to pay heed to or see which reviews catch your attention and imagination by letting you click through to check them out for yourself.

In the meantime, here is a curation of some recent reviews and what you can expect as well as what our customers are saying about the experience of booking a dream villa in Italy with us...
