Accommodation and Facilities for Le Stalle in Umbria, Italy

Marvelous vacation

In summer 2007, 16 of us spent two weeks at Poggio le Stalle, a truly marvellous vacation. The property is beautiful, situated on a secluded hillside with well-tended terraced gardens and lush native greenery. The pool is clean & large; the accommodations in all three buildings were practical & charming. We loved the big well- equipped country kitchen & comfortable sitting rooms in the main farmhouse. We did lots of our own cooking, but were delighted to find local cooks for hire also. The weather was perfect & we tended to congregate under the pergola for morning coffee, cocktails & most meals. One of the highlights of our stay was a brick-oven pizza-making lesson, with an amazing pizza feast following the lesson. Helen and Panais were great, attentive, helpful & gracious hosts, making sure all went well smoothly while remaining unobtrusive. I enthusiastically recommend a stay at Poggio le Stalle. It is a truly wonderful spot in the Umbrian countryside. Margaret Giuntini Evanston.

Eating, touring, relaxing

Le Stalle was perfect! 3 couples and 2 singles were in our party and the lovely home accommodated all of us with room to spare. Our days were filled with meals on the patio (cooked in the ample and well-equipped kitchen) overlooking the surrounding valley and hills, swimming in the pool, walking to the village and meeting the friendly villagers. In nearby Amelia we experienced fine dining in the walled city, shopping at the modern grocery store, sipping beers or eating gelato at the corner café. Leisurely drives on convenient and good highways took us to Orvieto, Todi, Deruta, Assisi and it was only a short drive to the train station for day trips to Rome or Florence. Helen & Panaghis were gracious hosts taking us on walks, to local wineries, pointing us to interesting sites and sharing our table on several occasions. We will definitely return to Le Stalle .D Darling Washington USA

An ideal family retreat

We think Poggio Le Stalle is our very own special secret and I am not sure we are ready to share this beautiful peaceful part of the world with anyone else. But so long as you promise not to tell anyone!! Our family have enjoyed holidays in Macchie for many years now. Our children have grown up, learned to swim and dive in the pool. They have entertained boyfriends and girlfriends with their music and we have all studied for GCSE’s on the terrace!! They have discovered the nocturnal delights of the snuffling wildlife and the range of wildflowers in the lanes. We have listened for wild boar and even dreamt of seeing one! They have climbed trees and picked cherries. We have read countless books over the years as our daytime preambles rarely took us further than the pergola or the shade of the walnut tree. Our whole family: grandparents, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews and friends have often done a lot of nothing but this is the pleasure and beauty of Le Stalle. Julie Murphy, UK
