"Where do I start? The property is gorgeous, in a great location on the edge of town, with beautiful olive grove surroundings, and with wonderful vistas over rolling countryside. It’s spacious and well-appointed, although the kitchen is quite small (but then again, Todi is full of good places to eat out). Large, well-equipped bathrooms, comfy beds, a swimming pool that I really SHOULD have used (and hey, I would have, but it WAS late October), and all sorts of places to sit outside – I imagine the gardens would be utter paradise in the summer. And then there is Adele, who is a cordial and welcoming superhost, with just the right touch – hands on but not intrusive in any way. She went into action within seconds when the toaster terminated its contract, and a new toaster appeared within minutes: she is a delightful force of nature. What else is there? Three friendly cats on the property, who all swear blindly that Adele doesn’t feed them enough (she does – cats lie a lot). A slightly scary drive in and out – yes, it is steep, and Google Streetview does not prepare you for the first time, although it gets progressively easier. Todi itself is very attractive, and is a great base for touring Central Umbria: Spello, Spoleto, Deruta, Assisi, Perugia, Montefalco, and Orvieto are all within striking distance. Strongly recommended! Many thanks, Adele, for the loan of the place for a week! "
