Il Berneto Exclusive Country Villa

Superb setup for a family get-together with loads of shared living spaces and separate bedroom areas with well appointed bathrooms that give family units within the extended family room for themselves. Air conditioning in all bedrooms gave comfort in the warm nights and the delightful pool was a magnet for all of us during the day. The fenced pool is well designed, with a generous shallow area for our 4 years olds and deeper areas for the adults, including an enticing diving board and lots of inflatables for lots of fun for all. The location of this property is wonderful with gorgeous views across to the old town of Monteleone d'Orvieto and a friendly and popular bar with great coffee, pastries cakes and gelato at the entrance to the short driveway to the house. There is also a small but well stocked supermarket behind the bar. We used logs from the generous wood store to fire up the the large pizza oven and the barbecue to cook our own tasty pizzas and meats. All the necessary implements are provided. There are plenty of well maintained bikes suitable for all ages as well as childrens ride on toys, tables and chairs and so on. We played table tennis and set up the outdoor tables and forms to eat out-doors at night.

We all had a truly wonderful family holiday in splendid Il Berneto. It has everything and could not have wished for anything more. We hope that we can come back again and we heartily recommend this property.

Our party of 10 had a wonderful time. Martina was very helpful with coordinating local transportation and easy to work with. The property was beautiful, with gorgeous views in every direction. Between daily swims at the pool, making pizza in the outdoor oven, walking to gelato at the end of the driveway, and enjoying Anna’s lasagna, it was a very relaxing stay.

This is our second stay at il Berneto. This time we shared it with 13 members of our family who found it enchanting. We all lead very busy lives and our stay here was peaceful and rejuvenating. Its central location not far off the A1 allowed us day trips to Siena, Orvieto, Florence, and a farther trip to Venice where we overnighted. The community of Monteleone d'Orvieto is most welcoming and the convenience of Caffelatte (pastries, coffee and gelato) and the Conad grocery was another plus. As it was quite hot during our visit, we made good use of the pool.

The garden with fresh vegetables and the producing fruit trees were an unexpected delight. I don't think we've ever eaten so many apricots!

All and all a highly recommended experience!

Martina is a wonderful hostess. A pleasure to communicate with and her staff was absolutely top notch!!

Il Berneto is just beautiful. Once we drove through the gate to get to the grounds it was all and more we imagined. The grounds around the villa are perfectly maintained. One immediately feels that the house is a home, not just a rental house, but decorated with love and care. You find all the cooking equipment, toys for kids and even bicycles to use. We were able to pick salad and herbs from the garden for our dinners. Martina and her son Pietro were always available with help and local tips. There are no neighbors so the experience was very tranquil. We can only recommend this charming Umbrian home.
