From the moment we stepped out of the car and looked at the stunning castle, countryside and property we felt the peace and the stresses of the past year evaporate. Rikki and Lorenzo have created a spectacular haven for guests that need a retreat from day to day life. The villa was stunning and the view of the castle, while the sheep peep at you over the fence was fantastic. Our hosts were charming and struck the perfect balance between looking after us and providing a holiday away from the hustle and bustle of London life. Highlights were the tour of the castle, the wine tasting and truffle hunting with 2 most gorgeous dogs and their owners. Thank you so much for a very special holiday which was such a blessing to us.
Heerlijk verblijf op de Castello di Montegiove gehad! Huisje Leccione is een oude olijfmooen, heel ruim voor 4-5 personen. Airco in de slaapkamers was stil en prettig. Fijne buitenruimte. Zwembad is een verademing zonder chloor. Uitzichten zijn overal geweldig. Klimaat op deze hoogte was zo lekker, net een paar graden koeler dan lager en fijn briesje. Zeer gastvrij welkom door gastvrouw en ontzettend leuke rondleiding en proeverij door gastvrouw en heer samen. In de omgeving is ontzettend veel te zien en te beleven. Kortom fantastisch!
The location, views, wine and cleanliness of this property are all perfectly presented with the pictures and description of this home. Taking day trips from this location were a breeze. Rikki, your host, is available for any of your needs.
We spent a wonderful week at Castello di Montegiove with our teenage children. Rikke & Lorenzo were the most welcoming hosts & really looked after us during our stay - you truly couldn’t ask for better hosts. Nothing was too much trouble & they were both so friendly. Their home in the castle is a very special place & we loved the tours & wine tasting.
We stayed in the Leccino apartment, which was perfect for our family of 4. It’s a huge apartment split over 3 levels with the kitchen/dining area opening onto a gorgeous private garden, where we enjoyed sunset drinks most evenings.
If you like good wine & olive oil, it is plentiful at Castello di Montegiove - for us, it really added to our stay.
The salt-water swimming pool is a fantastic place to cool off, with wonderful views out over the valley.
It’s a beautiful property in the Umbrian hills, a great location for touring Tuscany & Umbria. We can’t wait to visit again!

Fabulous
This wonderful place offers you the experience to step back in time , but with the modern conveniences of today. Words and pictures can never do it justice it is a must see. The castle owners, Rikki and Lorenzo are the most gracious hosts who could not do enough to insure our comfort and enjoyment. This place was my favorite part of our Italian adventure.

SIMPLY PERFECT
We have just returned from a 2 week stay in this very tastefully restored Olive Mill. We stayed with 2 friends and all 4 of us had THE most wonderful time and would return in a heartbeat.
Firstly our hosts, Rikke and Lorenzo, couldn't have been more welcoming, hospitable and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Every restaurant recommendation was spot on, Rikke even took the time to book a table on a couple of occasions for us. We toured the castle with Lorenzo and Rikke and , the wine making part of the castle and the vineyards. Irk and Lorenzo were truly the perfect hosts.
Our 2 bedroom villa was very clean, very spacious, simply all that we hoped it would be. The kitchen led directly to a beautiful outdoor area complete with large table, chairs to relax in and was the perfect spot for breakfast, sunset drinks and dinners under the stars.
Just a short walk away was a delightful pool, with a beautiful view , equipped with numerous sun lounges and umbrellas. In the other direction, also just a very short walk away is the Bar, the perfect location for our morning cappuccino and our evening aperitivo, run by a delightful family.
The location is the perfect setting to combine days of sightseeing , being close enough for outings in Perugia, Civita di Bagnoregio (A MUST) , Orvieto, Panicale and many many others. The walk up to the Fendi village is worth doing, it is very pretty and the view back to the castle fantastic.
Restaurants we tried and loved, Il Gatto Giallo ( The Yellow Cat) , Massolino ( Panicale), Osteria a Priori ( Perugia). Truffle hunting was so much fun and scrambled eggs with shaved truffle is a must. A day trip to Assisi was worthwhile with a 3 hr tour with Umbria Con Me.
All in all, the trip of a lifetime, in a stunning location with wonderful hosts. Just don't book it when we want to return please!

A fabulous getaway from the fast life
Wonderfully spacious, antique filled and clean accommodation on top of a mountain in Umbria, beautiful views in all directions, fresh air and to top it all part of a renovated medieval castle. The stories from our excellent hosts Rikki and Lorenzo about wine making and the history of the castle are compelling - with real stone cannon balls found lodged in the walls from previous attacks on the castle. Nearby Esso station in Montegabbione - they make excellent coffee and cornetti (sounds strange ....but worked really well for us for breakfast). And within easy reach of Perugia, Orvieto, two beautiful lakes and the amazing Scarzuoli (15 minutes away) - ancient home of St Francis. This was a particular highlight for us! If you want a week in peace and quiet, with great hosts, wonderful wine, fabulous views....well you cant go wrong here.
