A beautiful home with warmth and character.
Way more house than we needed for just the two of us—5 bedrooms and 4 baths—but it always felt comfortable. Very nicely decorated with art and ceramics. Beautiful grounds, including a large swimming pool. Spectacular views across the valley and into the hills and mountains beyond. We felt very much at home there, and would love to come back with our children and grandchildren some day. Bridgette and Enrico, the owners were very welcoming and helpful showing us around the house when we arrived.The only drawback to this house is that it’s up a long and very windy road, and a bit of a hike to the nearest town. Most of the towns and cities we visited in Umbria were1-2 hours away, and the drives between the house and each were beautiful.

Beautiful spot with great views
We had a lovely stay at this wonderful place with fabulous views and great pool. The fabulous view means you need to be comfortable to navigate some windy tracks and is more suited to a relaxing week than a hectic sightseeing schedule.

Beautiful house, misleading extra fees
The stay was great, the house was beautiful and we loved it, the owners were asking for very big extra fees in cash, for example for electricity usage (we didn’t use much and it ended up in very high fees), extra cleaning fees, and towel rental(!!)

Fabulous family and friends getaway
We had an amazing stay at Brigitte’s house. It is very well equipped and enormous, with plenty of space for two families. The pool is huge and the patio area very spacious for al fresco dining. Brigitte and her husband are super friendly and very responsive. The drive to the property is winding but it’s easy to find. The views are amazing. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

Beautiful Villa
My family and I stayed at La Biquette for 3 weeks. The villa was fantastic and my children loved the pool. Brigitte was very easy to work with and answered any questions we had promptly. The house is at the top of a very windy road so be careful as you drive up! Once you are at the villa the view is worth it. The house has limited AC, but it wasn't an issue for us since there are fans in the bedrooms and the air is so cool and fresh at night. Overall it was a great stay.

Very nice House - but not what we was promised
It is a very lovely house, and the countryside is perfect. But we did not get what we were expecting. In the booking it says that there were room for 10 persons- but we only had access to part of the house, 2 rooms - were locked- so we only had access to 6 beds. When we contacted the host we were told that, we had to pay for access to the last rooms. And that we had only paid for access to 6 beds. even though the booking said house for 10 persons. The host came by unannounced several times, as there were a problem with a pump in the garden.

Sehr liebevoll eingerichtete Unterkunft. Für Unternehmungen muss aber in der Regel eine Fahrzeit von 0,45-60 min in jede Richtung gerechnet werden. (Nächsten Städte: Umbertide, Citta di Castello, Arezzo, Perugia).

Angenehmer Aufenthalt
Wir hatten einen sehr schönen 2-wöchigen Urlaub im Haus von Brigitte und Enrico. Beide waren uns sehr sympathisch und haben alles getan, um uns einen angenehmen Aufenthalt zu ermöglichen. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und hat einen großen Pool wie beschrieben, die Aussicht ist großartig. Die Anfahrt zur Unterkunft ist auf den letzten Kilometern kurvig und die Straßen sind nicht die besten, aber das ist typisch für die Gegend. Die vorhandenen Klimaanlagen mussten wir nicht verwenden, da das Haus hinreichend kühl ist. Alles war sauber und die Kommunikation und Übergabe verlief problemlos und sehr angenehm.
