Vasciano is one of a small cluster of old stone houses sprinkled on the hillside of the beautiful Niccone valley - an unspoilt agricultural area growing sunflowers, maize, vines, olives. Walkers & riders love the spectacular views all around. Along the valley and on some hilltops are small villages, with numerous places to eat good local food & wine. Nearest is Mercatale, a small, friendly place with essential shops, bars, & restaurant. Over hills at one end of the valley, a short drive takes you to Cortona and Lake Trasimeno. The other end of the valley meets the Tiber valley, with easy access to Assisi, Perugia, Gubbio and many other wonderful Renaissance & Etruscan towns. To see the sights of Rome & Florence, day trips by train are quick and easy, whereas Siena, Urbino & Orvieto are possible by car. The area is famous for its many annual festivals, from opera, music and jazz to those celebrating local gastronomic delights such as truffles, porcini, chestnuts, oil, wine & chocolate.

Comments from Owner Guestbook

HRGuestBook60686, HR GuestBook
Review Submitted: December 06, 2007, Date of stay: December, 2007

1. 'We thought Vasciano was wonderful: it made one of our best holidays ever.'
2. 'We were delighted with the house, the accommodation, the views, the finishes, the furnishing, the equipment and all aspects of the property.'
3. ' We had a wonderful holiday in your house and enjoyed its position and magical views. We enjoyed visiting all the lovely medieval towns in the area, but Vasciano was always wonderful to return to at the end of the day - such a peaceful, relaxing spot.'
4. 'Not even your extensive photos had prepared us for the full delight of the house with its comfort, tranquility and magnificent views. We had a superb holiday, marred only by the agonising daily problem of having to choose between idling around the swimming pool and arduous exploration of renaissance painting.'
