Photos and Description of the Città di Castello holiday villa Heated Pool, WiFi, Marble Bathrooms, Sleeps up to 12 Adults + 2 Children

Sant'Ansovino is a 12th century Benedictine monastery nestling in the breathtaking and tranquil hills of central Italy at the crossroads of Tuscany, Umbria and Le Marche. Over the last three years it has been lovingly restored into a luxury holiday home using original materials. As a result, the Monastery has been restored with an attention to detail seldom seen today. Any original feature that could be saved has been, and much of the work has been completed by hand. But Sant'Ansovino isn't a museum, it's a home where children play, and adults relax around the fire with a glass of wine. The owners, whilst keeping true to the spirit of the place, have incorporated their own needs into the renovation so that the monastery also incorporates modern conveniences such as en-suite marble bathrooms, ISDN telephone/internet links, a large American-sized fridge, professional range cooker, and a heated swimming pool.

Reviews for this holiday villa rental in Città di Castello, Italy

Città di Castello holiday villa rental rating 55/5
A magical place for gathering, hiking, relaxing
HelenNYC  New York City
Review Submitted: June 5, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
This is the real thing - beautiful, elegant, restored with great care and good taste. The whole house, including the pool, gives dramatic views in every direction; the facilities are good, bordering on the luxurious, and there are plenty of places for a large group to both come together as a whole, and split up into quieter areas. The location is excellent, giving access to the incredibly cute and well-appointed town of Apecchio; but also to some of the most satisfying day-hiking in Europe - fabulous meadows full of flowers clinging to the side of dramatic slopes with views that go on for a hundred miles across the wild Umbrian landscape. There are also good restaurants within a short drive; and the run to the hypermarket, which has everything a gourmand could want, is a mere 45 minutes down to the outskirts of Fano. The owners are friendly, and the local helpers are capable, accommodating, and speak English. Be warned, though. Don't plan too many side trips to nearby Gubbio, SanSepulcro, Pergola etc. The roads are twisty and take a long time to navigate. Much better, once you're ensconced in this stunning home-from-home, to stay and explore the glorious immediate vicinity.

Owner's Response: Helen and Tim celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary with a week of celebrations at San Ansovino and in the village of Apecchio (4KM away). They were joined by a group of 40+ friends and family members who came from all over the world to share their special day. Our local staff were able to help them arrange villa and hotel accomodation for their guests, a re-commitment ceremony, gourmet catering, live music and several group dinners in the wonderful local restaurants. Helen and her mother also enjoyed Italian cooking classes at San Ansovino as well as hiking locally and relaxing with their dearest friends on the travertine marble terraces surrounding the heated swimming pool.
