Heavenly Week
Review Submitted: January 10, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2008
We stayed at Martinozza at the end of a hot balmy August in 2008. There were 4 adults and 6 children aged from 3 to 11 years in our group. The property was spotlessly clean and well maintained by an adorable English/German/ Italian speaking lady, who was also very helpful with local knowledge.
The property was very easy to find using the owner's directions. We had been travelling around France for 3 weeks previous to our stay and were ready for a relaxing week. Martinozza couldn't have been more inviting and luxurious for our needs. There was ample room for all 10 of us, plenty of bathrooms for 5 girls and 2 mums, and a gloriously big pool for us to bathe, swim, play, and float in. The owner had provided plenty of sun loungers in the pool house and even fun floats for the kids.
We mainly cooked our meals at the house, using local produce, in the BBQ area outside in the loggia, which was perfect for the fab weather. On other days we used the large ultra-modern kitchen for our meals. We ate out twice in excellent local trattorias recommended by the owner in their very helpful guide to the area.
Lake Trasimeno was only about 20 minutes drive and had some lovely cafes by the lake's side. We mainly did our food shopping in Lisciano Niccone, 10 mins away and really enjoyed the market at Umbertide. Cortona, about 40 mins away is a very beautiful typical Italian town, great for boutiques, restaurants and general strolling and people- watching.
We've told all our friends about Martinozza, we had such a relaxing, but fun holiday there. I have great memories of soaking up the last of the sun's rays, sitting out in the loggia with a glass of wine and watching the sun go down behind the rolling hills, stunning!!! Cally & family.
