Excellent Experience!

This property is fantastic! It is laid out extremely well and is in a great location. Adele is incredibly responsive and is a wonderful person. We stayed here 1 month and couldn't have been happier with our choice! It's perfect for one couple. Both of us worked most of the time we were there and had no internet issues, and I was on video calls for hours every day.

A Magical Place

We were overwhelmed by the beauty and comfort of this apartment -- in person it looks like something out of a design magazine. there are so many luxurious and comfortable touches. We couldn't have asked for a better home away from home in Todi. We hope to stay in the apartment again.

We loved this apartment in the heart of Todi.

Adele was so helpful not only checking us in and showing us around but giving us great suggestions during our stay. We loved being right in the heart of the old town. I highly suggest you have a very little car as you do have to drive into the historic center for parking. We really enjoyed Todi. Great hikes right from town and fun of events in town. We hope we can come back and stay longer next time. Grazie Mille

Excellent. Could not have been better.

First, of the medieval towns we have visited, Todi is the best. The apartment is perfectly situated on a typically narrow roadway with lots of history and charm. The place is a studio adequate for a couple. It we well appointed and very clean. Adele was there to meet us and available for any questions. We were very comfortable and hope to return another time.

Thank you Thomas for your kind words. We try to outfit our two properties in Todi just like we would like them to be when we come to stay in them. Any funds we have left over at the end of the year after all our expenses are paid, we reinvest into the properties to make them better . We are glad you appreciate this and look forward to welcoming you back again in the future.

Perfection

The apartment was PERFECT. It felt like home! The thoughtfulness of the smallest details, extra adapters, A TOWER FAN (I need white noise to sleep so this was HEAVEN), the Lavazza machine, perfect. I was so very happy staying. The ease of the parking lot, the location within Umbria, Antonella at the corner Conad, delightful! Thank you for making my stay so easy!

Lovely apartment in a beautiful hill town

Lovely apartment right in the centre of the old town. Everything you might want in the apartment. Adele met us from the bus and was very helpful showing us where everything was in the apartment. The only thing we could have done with was air conditioning as even with thick walls and a fan it was still very hot at night.

Thank you Helen - we're glad you enjoyed your stay in our apartment despite the fact that it coincided with the fiercest European heatwave in recent history. Please kindly note that, under normal circumstances, the apartment remains pleasantly cool during the summer months and air conditioning is not required. Thank you again for your 5-star review - it was our pleasure having you as our guest.

Great except electrical problem

The apartment is in a very old building that needs to be rewired. When I turned on the light above the stove, it blew a fuse. It was also very dark (hard to read a book) in the flat. But the property manager was wonderful and overall it was good. We had to park our car 15 min away from the property. That should have been mentioned in the ad.

Todi im Winter

Es war ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt. Die Wohnung ist in hervorragendem Zustand und ist sehr sinnvoll eingerichtet. Die Heizung funktioniert, was in Italien nicht immer geklappt hat. Der in der Beschreibung vorgeschlagene Parkplatz ist praktisch, weil man mit der Seilbahn kostenlos in die Altstadt gebracht wird. Er ist aber auch sehr teuer. (16€/18 Stunden) Ich habe es nach der ersten Nacht bevorzugt beim Conad zu parken. Die weißen Parkplätze sind kostenfrei. Es erfordert aber durchaus etwas Fitness den Berg hinauf zu laufen.

Danke Patrick für deine Bewertung. Es tut uns leid, dass du Schwierigkeiten beim Parken hatten. Vielleicht haben wir uns nicht klar ausgedrückt, als wir Folgendes in die Gästenotizen geschrieben haben, die wir vor deiner Ankunft gesendet haben. Wir werden uns auch mit unserem Hausverwalter in Verbindung setzen, um sicherzustellen, dass die Parklösung bei der Ankunft mit dem Gast besprochen wird. *********** Kostenpflichtiges Parken: Die Gebühren an der Spitze der Stadt gelten von 08.00 bis 13.00 Uhr und von 15.00 bis 20.00 Uhr und betragen ca. 2,00 € pro Stunde und sind (nur) mit dem nächstgelegenen Zähler zu zahlen. Günstigere Parkmöglichkeiten (einschließlich Tages-, Wochen- und Monatstarife) finden Sie auf dem großen Parkplatz auf halber Höhe der Porte Orvietana mit der (kostenlosen) Seilbahn zurück zum Ortskern. Sie können Ihr GPS auf die folgende Adresse: Viale di Montesanto, 06059 Todi PG. Betreten Sie den Parkplatz mit einem Ticket und tauschen Sie dieses Ticket innerhalb von 15 Minuten nach Ihrer Ankunft an der Kasse gegen ein anderes Ticket ein, das die erforderliche Aufenthaltsdauer abdeckt. Während der Gültigkeitsdauer des neuen Tickets können Sie den Parkplatz beliebig oft verlassen und betreten. Sie MÜSSEN jedoch bei jeder Ein- und Ausfahrt das gleiche Ticket in den Automaten einlegen. Mit anderen Worten, nehmen Sie kein zweites Ticket aus dem Automaten. ********** Wir hoffen, dich in Zukunft wieder in Todi zu sehen. Mit freundlichen Grüss, Michael und Carol

Great stay in Medieval Todi

Our stay at the Artist's Refuge apartment in Todi was wonderful. The VRBO listing described everything accurately, the communications with the owner and the host were exceptionally good, and everything went as planned. We loved the apartment, it was just what we were looking for - located in an old, narrow street among stone buildings, interior with a genuine "feel" in harmony with the neighborhood (stone and brick arches, tastefully exposed stone walls, etc.). And yet all the amenities are there for the traveler - functional kitchen, washer, excellent (spacious for Italy!) bathroom, comfy bed, internet, etc. Five stars!

Nice Location from Which to Explore Umbria

Recommended...high-value. Convenient to Todi town square, great place to stay when exploring Todi, Assisi, Orvieto and other places in central Italy. What makes this location convenient to Todi central, makes it less than convenient for parking. Best to get directions to the large lot at base of funicular—and use the funicular—than expecting any of the few parking spaces up top to be available. Our property manager was very helpful and easy to contact.

Très agréable séjour dans cet appartement confortable et acceuillant

Nous avons bcp apprécié notre séjour dans cet appartement qui a été très joliment rénové tout en gardant son cachet ancien. Il est en outre situé dans une rue hyper calme. Nous nous y sommes bien sentis et nous n'y avons manqué de rien : cuisine très agréable, coin salon cosy et grande salle de bains. Seul bémol, il est difficile de stationner dans le village, l'unique parking est pris d'assaut mais c'est le prix à payer pour résider dans un centre ancien !

Beautiful apartment near the centre of Todi

From the first communication with the owners and the local property manager everything was perfect. We loved our stay in the medieval building with all the comforts of the 21st century now added. The bed was super comfortable, kitchen well equipped with dish washer and clothes washer and there was plenty of room to relax in comfortable arm chairs by the fire if the weather warranted it. I particularly loved the shower with decent water pressure, something you don’t get too often. Todi itself is charming and a good base to explore the rest of Umbria. We were sorry to leave when our week ended.

Great apartment in center

We stayed at Carol's apartment for one week while we explored the area around Todi by bicycle. The apartment was clean and well-equipped for us to cook a meal at the end of a long day after sitting in the Piazza Popolo for a spritz. Everything you need can be found within a short distance. A car is definately recommended to explore the area.The owner was very helpful in advance of our stay which made all the difference to our holiday. If you are looking to stay in a centuries old place but with modern amenities this apartment fits the bill.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Vowles & Calvin McKnight

Host profile image
We have vacation properties in Italy and France. I am Canadian living in France. I speak French, German and Italian. It is exciting working with guests to provide excellent vacation rental at a very fair price.

Why they chose this property

Fell in love with the apartment's medieval features (beams, vaulted fan-brick arches), the fabulous renovation and its great location on a quiet street right in the very heart of Todi.

You cannot beat the daily rate for this apartment. It offers exceptional value to the budget minded traveller.

What makes this property unique

A balcony allows morning coffee, al-fresco aperitifs or light meals for most of the year. Two sets of French doors allow full sunshine to penetrate the apartment all day during the summer months - and yet the apartment remains cool and pleasant.
