“Recently stayed at La Casella for a retreat I went on. The staff here were absolutely incredible, really friendly and nothing was too much. My accommodation was very clean and spacious with a good hot working shower. I really enjoyed the walk down the lanes for breakfast in the mornings so I could take in all the nature surrounding me. The food was really tasty, authentic, Italian cooking and I loved the atmosphere at meal times. I am hoping to plan another trip back here so I can engage in more of the activities this place has to offer. Thank you so much Virgina and all of your staff for the amazing experience I had with you.”
“If you want of the beaten track, this is the spot! Be prepared for a 15 min gravel off-road driving experience (I did it in an MG!). The family is the true highlight here. Breakfast is continental with plenty of options. The pool is huge! I stayed in the rooms next to the main house but there are other houses on the large estate that can take groups. Room was was very comfortable and quiet. Small shower but that is the Italian way. They're is a yoga studio open to use in the same building. The large family dining table every night was the highlight for me, chatting with mainly Italian locals who have been visiting LaCasella for years, staff, and local friends all chatting over a 3 course dinner.”
“This place was fantastic. I booked this through my timeshare and honestly cannot say enough great things. The owner and her family and staffwere so warm and helpful, they made you feel like you were a part of the family. Virginia is a great host, she offered many excellent recommendations to visit and eat in the area, and even packed us breakfast to go on a day we planned to take the train to Florence. The property is beautiful and so quiet, just what we needed to relax. If you love cats you'll be pleased, they have lots of friendly outdoor kitties. I would definitely recommend the market/pasta making excursion. Make sure you rent a durable vehicle, the roads are a little rough, but only added to the experience. The rooms were a good size and very clean with plenty of living space. The food was PHENOMENAL. Sit down, family style, home cooked meals every evening. Close to a train station and ideally situated for day trips.”
“Our stay at La Casella was absolutely fantastic. The rooms were scattered along the road into the beautiful property, with their high ceilings & exposed rafters you can really feel the old worldly charm of the beautifully renovated buildings. The walk along the road down to the main building & family home was simply breathtaking, with views of the stunning Italian high country that stretched across the valley as far as the eye could see. Virginia was a genuinely warm & loving host & her beautiful family went above & beyond to ensure that we were all well looked after, from early morning pickups & late night drop offs, hot coffee, gorgeous breakfast spreads each morning & a divine plant based 3 course lunch & dinner each day we could not have possibly wanted for more.”
“My stay at La Casella was perfect and unforgettable. I was warmly welcomed by friendly hosts, I was relaxed in the peace and quiet of the Umbrian nature, I was in awe of the graciousness of the horses, and I particularly enjoyed having lunch and dinner together with everyone else while we were served outstanding Italian cuisine. I strongly recommend a week-long stay at La Casella for anyone looking to experience the Umbrian countryside at its best.”
“Wonderful place to visit! Definitely off the main roads but quite relaxing and peaceful. Very kind staff as well who were all very happy and polite. Definitely enjoyed my stay.”
