La Casa di LucaPietro Dimora Storica

We were interested to visit Umbria after having seen much of the rest of Italy over a number of previous visits. We really enjoyed the relaxed, personal and authentic perspective of Italian life that Umbria provided. La Casa di LucaPietro complemented those attributes perfectly. Located in a small, quiet village, this beautifully renovated rustic apartment was the perfect base from which to enjoy the many treasures of the surrounding region, such as the truly extraordinary underground city in Perugia, the reverential calm of the tomb of St Francis in the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi and the excellent products of Umbria's numerous wineries, to name just a few. In the center of all of this was our host, Luca. He made every effort to ensure that we had the best possible Umbrian experience, even making us one night a beautiful home-cooked regional dinner. Luca also acted as our driver and guide (at a very reasonable price) for our various Umbrian tours. In between these activities, we had plenty of time to ourselves to explore the immediate area on foot and to simply sit in the sun and enjoy a glass of local wine. We can highly recommend La Casa di LucaPietro.

Staying at La Casa di LucaPietro was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, Luca made us feel right at home. The location of La Casa couldn't have been better. Situated close to so many breathtaking destinations such as Trevi, Assisi, Foligno, Spoleto, and Orvieto, we were spoiled for choice when it came to exploring the beauty of Umbria. It was the perfect base for our adventures. One of the highlights of our stay was definitely the incredible home-cooked meals that Luca kindly arranged for us. Each dish was flavourful and made with love, we felt like we really had a taste of authentic Italian cuisine. As for the accommodation itself, it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house was cozy, well-equipped, and felt like a true home away from home. We appreciated the attention to detail and the thoughtfulness that Luca put into ensuring his guests have a wonderful experience. The kids really enjoyed using the board games in the evening while we tested local wines from the wine cantina in the living room. Overall, our stay at La Casa exceeded all expectations. We can't thank Luca enough for his hospitality and for making our trip to Umbria truly unforgettable. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Luca again in the future and highly recommend his place to anyone looking for a memorable stay and authentic Italian experience!

As you wind up the hill the tranquility envelops you, then stepping through the stone arches of the ancient Borgo onto daisy sprinkled grass, every vision you imagined of Italy comes rushing in. With a very warm welcome from Luca, we stepped into the inviting, comfortable and cosy casa and felt instantly at home. The kitchen is very well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable visit. Beds have feather quilts and soft pillows, with large fluffy towels. Exposed beams, hand decorated doors, an open fire and shuttered windows opening to the beautiful morning birdsong. We took it slowly, woke late and visited an ancient historical village every day between .5-1hr drive, such as Assisi, Trevi, Spello, Rasiglia, Norcia and Spoleto each one individually beautiful as was the drive through the countryside. Or visited the local town bakery for coffee and custard croissants at breakfast. Returning in the afternoon we chose delicious wine from the cellar with cheese on the grass outside the casa. Followed by available home cooked meals. Making your visit effortless, restful and relaxing is Lucas main objective. We booked for a week and stayed for two, and even then we were sad to leave.
