Hi Karin,
Dank je wel voor de review. It was my pleasure.
Fijn te lezen dat jullie samen een mooie vakantie hadden.
Tot een volgende keer,
Saskia
A fantastic location, a superb large pool sheltered from the breeze, with an expansive view over the valley and hills. The agents were great providing plenty of information, the owner couldn't have been more helpful. The pool was cleaned early every morning, and was crystal clear with no chlorine odour. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you need, nothing missing except only one work surface electric socket.
We could sit in the garden or beside the pool and there was absolutely no sound of human activity, just the butterflies and birds. The perfect base for relaxation between visiting the multitude of wonderful towns and villages of Umbria.

Hi Andrew, thank you for your review. Thanks for the tip about the electric socket. We'll see whether we can improve this. We are happy to read you enjoyed your stay. All the best from Umbria, Saskia
Villa La Ginestra is a slice of paradise nestled in the heart of Italy. The villa's beautiful location provides a serene escape surrounded by stunning natural scenery. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home with its warm, inviting atmosphere and authentic yet cozy decor.
The grounds are simply breathtaking, with lush gardens that create a peaceful retreat. The private pool was the star of our stay, providing endless hours of relaxation and fun. A special mention goes to Giacomo, the diligent maintenance man, who cleaned the pool every morning to perfection. His father also contributed greatly to the villa's upkeep, ensuring everything was immaculate throughout our stay.
The exceptional hospitality extended beyond routine maintenance. Giacomo and his father came to our aid when we got locked out, and they even helped us print some important documents. Their kindness and willingness to assist made our experience even more memorable.
Our time at Villa La Ginestra was nothing short of fabulous. We highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with all the comforts of a well-cared-for home. It’s a truly magical place that we can't wait to visit again!

Danke Ralph! Ich wünsche euch alles Gute und vielleicht bis zum nächsten Mal. Saskia
Sicher kein Luxus-Haus, aber gemütlich und sauber. Einmal wöchentlich wird das Haus gereinigt und es gibt frische Wäsche und Handtücher. Unbezahlbar aber ist der Garten und der Blick vom großen Grundstück ins Tal und auf Umbertide. Der Pool wurde jeden Tag in den frühen Morgenstunden, unbemerkt von uns, gereinigt. Die Abende am Pool mit der traumhaften Gartenbeleuchtung und dem Blich ins Tal werden wir vermissen.

Hallo Holger,
Vielen Dank für das nette Feedback. Es ist immer wieder schön zu lesen, dass es unseren Gästen gut gefallen hat.
Nun wünsche ich Ihnen alles Gute und vielleicht bis zum nächsten Mal.
Herzliche Grüße aus Umbrien,
Saskia
Wir hatten das Haus für 2 Wochen gemietet und waren bereits beim Check-in begeistert. Alles total unkompliziert. Das Haus ist das Grundstück sind der Wahnsinn. Einfach nur zum wohlfühlen.
Der Pool übertrifft alles. Groß, viel Platz außen rum und ein sensationeller Ausblick auf die Umgebung.
Täglich wird nach dem Rechten gesehen und der Pool gereinigt sowie nach dem Grundstück geschaut. Alles völlig im Hintergrund.
Bis nach Umbertide fährtan ca. 10 Minuten mit dem Auto.
Auch der Kontakt mit Saskia von der Agentur verlief perfekt.
Wir hatten 2 wundervolle und entspannte Wochen und können das Haus nur empfehlen.
