A magical spot!
My family just got home from a perfect stay at the Villa Campi di Sotto! I just can't say enough for the the whole experience...
First, the Villa itself is in a lovely setting, surrounded by the rolling green hills of Umbria. The grounds, with the infinity pool and terraces of flowers, herbs and lovely seating areas near the 2 open fireplaces, are beautiful.
The inside of the Villa is perfectly furnished. There are 3 bedrooms in the main part of the Villa and a 4th, more secluded bedroom around the side terrace. The kitchen is well equipped, and we loved the rustic feel of the interior.
Perhaps even more important than the beauty of the Villa itself was the kindness and attention paid to us by our hosts Sara and Simone. When we arrived they had made us a wonderful fruit tart and left us homemade wine, marmalade, oil and vinegar! Every morning we found a bowl of fresh eggs outside the door! They were the best eggs I have ever tasted!
The highlight for all of us was the cooking class we arranged at the Villa taught by Simone, who is a professional chef. We learned how to make fresh pasta with meatballs, Cinghiale alla cacciatore (local wild boar) and 2 fabulous desserts. After the lesson Simone took us on a tour of his wine cellar where we got a chance to sample his excellent wine.
I don't think you could find a better place to stay, with more delightful, and talented hosts than Villa Campi di Sotto. In my dreams I will hope to return one day! Thank you Sara and Simone.
