Whilst the house is a wonderful summer venue, we feel it is a shame to rule out some of the other seasons. Out of season is a great time to use the property. We have full central heating and efficient woodburning stoves for cooler times of the year. Spring brings all the spring a class=l href=http://webmaxsearch.com?qq=flowers onmouseover='return (window.status='flowers');' onmouseout='window.status='';' flowers /a and the surrounding woodland begins to burst with life. Autumn is a special time with wonderful Autumn colour - wild blackberries, figs and plums to gather as well as the olives becoming ready for harvesting in late October early November. It is, of course cooler out of season and for some that means they can really enjoy fully all the activities and sightseeing opportunities. Florence, Siena and Rome are certainly a lot quieter out of season. Casa Colcello makes a great venue at these times for workshops, retreats- yoge, tai chi or self development, for groups.

    Clients comment
    Dear Gill & Ged - Just a belated thanks for allowing my family to rent your beautiful house.
    We've travelled a significant amount throughout Italy and have stayed in numerous rental properties.
    However, we were stunned by the sheer beauty of the Umbrian hills and your gorgeous property felt like a home rather than a 'rental'.
    Many thanks again and we hope to have the opportunity to book your home at some point in the near future.
    Kind regards
    Tania Bennett
  • Stressed out try this.
    Shorter lets of less than one week are now available out of peak season.
    Take full advantage of budget airfares and enjoy a short break in Italy with the advantage of your own luxury villa. A real home from home in the beautiful Tuscan/Umbrian countryside. This is the perfect time to plan for a few good friends to get together for walking, sampling the gastronomic delights of the Italian kitchen, Yoga, Thai Chi, bridge, exploring Galleries and museums, painting, photography, or just chilling out, cooking, eating and being together.

    'Hi Gill, just to let you know that we all had a fantastic time in
    Umbria. The villa is amazing, you have restored it beautifully. The
    setting and surroundings are fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3
    meals that we had prepared at the villa. The whole thing was wonderful.
    Many thanks Danielle'
