La Roccia, Pianciano, Umbria
Review Submitted: November 5, 2008

this is just a very quick note to thank you for the gracious hospitality
extended to us at beautiful Pianciano, When we arrived there, we could
not believe we were not in some kind of dream or hypnotic state !!!
Everything in, and around, the house was so beautifully, tastefully, and
thoughtfully arranged. As we walked from room to room we kept
discovering one lovely detail after another.
We spend many hours sitting on the terrace reading, resting, and gazing
over the valley, taking in the gentle greens of the olive orchards,
listening to the bells of Silvignano, watching the changing light as the
sun rose and then the shadows lengthened into evening, bathing the
hillsides and ancient buildings in the glow as twilight fell.
Francesco was helpful beyond the call of duty when we arrived, rather
travel-weary. and of course Aziz and Eva were always cheerfully eager to
assist us if we needed anything. But mostly we just settled in to our
private routine, which included long hours of sleep. We did enjoy taking
the busy chickens our food scraps. The dinner prepared by Maria was a
treat, and we had fun cooking for ourselves with the abundance of
available ingredients.
We spent one day hiking near Casteluccio, which was incredible....The
hang glider hovering a thousand miles (as it seemed) over the vast
valley was thrilling!!!... And we did some sightseeing (Montefalco,
Spoletto) ---- but as I indicated, also were luxuriously lazy.
Our stay was simply unforgettable
