The apartment is big, light-filled and clean. The furniture is very comfortable and the pool is huge and even has a water feature. The grounds are beautiful, with seating areas everywhere. But the best experience was our hostess, Valentina. She's warm and welcoming and so accessible and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place.

Thank you for being here and for your warm words! It was a pleasure meeting you!
Four of us, two adults and two children, stayed in this wonderful apartment for ten days.
The apartment is very clean, fully furnished and offers all the comfort you need.
The landlord couple is very polite, they are very happy to help and very quick with all questions you have and otherwise keep in the background.
In the large park-like garden you can relax or swim a few laps in the pool.
Definitely a recommendation if you want to relax and enjoy beauty!!
Thank you for this great holiday and see you next time!

The property was as listed and very clean. Check-in was easy. The directions received from the property manager to locate the property were detailed and easy to follow. Valentina also provided a document containing various restaurants and points of interest in the area. She was readily available to help with any questions. It was too cold to take advantage of the pool during our stay. The location was perfect to access the highway to travel throughout the region.

Lovely property and grounds
We had a wonderful two week stay in this property with our two teenage boys. The apartment is spacious and spotlessly clean. There is plenty of outside space and seating and the pool is wonderful. Most of the time we used the outside areas we had them to ourselves even though the other apartments were also occupied. The apartment also has it's own outdoor cooking and eating area. Valentina and her husband were so friendly and helpful and responded straight away if we had any queries. The location is perfect for exploring Umbria and Tuscany and we visited many of the hill towns as well as frequent trips into Perugia using the bus service which stops outside the house. Highlights of the holiday for us were trips to Sienna and Cortona and a day on lake Trasimeno on a motorboat. We would definitely stay here again.

Chaleureusement accueillis par Valentina, notre hotesse, nous avons passé une semaine au calme et dans un grand confort dans une propriété particulièrement bien tenue. Situés dans l'appartement "Melograno", nous étions 4 avec nos deux enfants majeurs. L'intérieur était bien équipé "comme à la maison" et la climatisation efficace. Avant de partir en excursion ou au retour, le tour à la piscine était délicieux dans un très beau jardin ! Bravo !
Traumurlaub in großzügiger, recht gut ausgestatteter Wohnung, mit klasischem Flair. Tolle Lage, wunderschöner Garten mit eigenem Bereich und schöner Aussicht.
Sehr angenehme Gastgeberin.
Nous avons passé 2 super semaines dans cet appart'.
Tout etait parfait et si par hasard cela n'avait pas été le cas, Valentina aurait tre rapidement fait le necessaire pour que cela le soit
Merci pour tout
Isabelle, Noemie et Philippe PIOT
Wir werden unseren 2-wöchigen Familienurlaub in bester Erinnerung behalten. Die Wohnung nebst Außenküche waren wunderschön und wie beschrieben. Der Pool und die Außenanlagen waren sehr sauber und gepflegt. In Valentina haben wir eine freundliche, engagierte und so symphatische Vermieterin gefunden, wie wir es noch selten erlebt haben. Nach einer Woche gab es einen kompletten Handtuch- und Bettwäschewechsel. Die beiden Hunde sind sehr, sehr gut erzogen und äußerst liebenswert. Die Lage ist abolut traumhaft und sehr zentral. Nach Perugia sind es nur wenige Autominuten, Lago Trasimeno, Assisi, Gubbio, Spoletto, Orvieto (...) sind ebenfalls dank guter Anbindung an die Schnellstraße gut und innerhalb kurzer Zeit zu erreichen. Für uns war in diesen 2 Wochen alles geboten: Erholung, Kultur, Wandern, dolce vita...Danke Valentina :-)

logement spacieux et confortable dans un vaste jardin joliment arboré avec piscine. Proximité du centre ville de Pérouse a 5 minutes en voiture (parking public). propriétaire sympathique et accueillante.
Das ist der perfekte Rückzugsort nach anstrengenden aber schönen Ausflügen. Valentina (die Vermieterin) macht es einem einfach sich sofort wohl zu fühlen ohne dabei aufdringlich zu sein. Auf dem parkähnlich angelegten Gelände findet jeder ausreichend Liegen und auch genug Plätzchen, um sich etwas zurückzuziehen. Der Pool hat eine ausreichende grosse und ist immer sauber und gepflegt, wie auch die ganze Anlage.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder hierher zurück.

Charmng and practical space from which to discover Umbria
We would like to return in summer, perhaps with family. Too cool this time for the pool but it is so inviting! The property is an oasis of green and calm, 5-8 minutes from Perugia center. The apartment is clean, with comfortable beds, good lighting options, lovely living/dining space and a well-stocked kitchen. The owners are good communicators and very friendly (use Valentina’s suggestion list!). We used this base to explore a different Umbrian, Marches or Tuscan town each day. Urbino, Gobbio, Assisi...Can’t wait to come back.

Wunderbare Ferienwohnung in toller Lage!
Valentina Giunti und ihr Mann Gianncarlo sind sehr freundliche Gastgeber. Valentina spricht gutes Deutsch und war für Fragen immer schnell erreichbar.
Das große, sehr gepflegte parkähnliche Grundstück mit hohen Bäumen liegt in sehr ruhiger Lage am Rande von Perugia. Zur am Zentrum der Altstadt gelegenen großen Tiefgarage an der Piazza di Partigiani braucht man mit dem Auto ca. 10 Minuten. Von dort geht es mit den Rolltreppen weiter rauf zum Corso Vanucci. Gegenüber dem Grundstück ist gleich eine Bushaltestelle, von der aus man ebenfalls zur Piazzi di Partigiani kommt, aber den Bus haben wir nicht ausprobiert.
Bäcker, Metzger, Supermarkt , Restaurant und Bar mit Gelateria sind von der Wohnung aus nicht fußläufig, aber mit dem Auto in wenigen Minuten erreichbar.
Wir hatten die sehr geräumige, gemütliche und gut ausgestattete Wohnung "Il Melograno" gebucht. Die Küche verfügt sogar über einen Geschirrspüler. Klimaanlage gibt es keine, aber dafür waren in der Wohnung einige Stehventilatoren aufgestellt, die für Erfrischung gesorgt haben. Den überdachten Eßplatz im Freien haben wir gerne für Frühstück und Abendessen genutzt.
Ein Genuss war der große Pool. Es gab genügend Liegen, eine Außendusche und eine separate Umkleide und Toilette. Auf dem Rasen ist genügend Platz für Federball- oder Volleyballspiel.
Zur Familie Giunti gehören zwei sehr kinderliebe und äußerst gut erzogene Hunde, die sich meist im Garten aufhalten.
Wir haben eine tolle Ferienwoche in Perugia verbracht und empfehlen die Anlage gerne weiter!

Home from Home
We were made to feel very welcome at Le Balze and felt instantly at home in the apartment and the beautiful surrounding gardens. The apartment was very spacious and comfortable and accommodated the five of us easily. We enjoyed the use of a nice patio and well equipped BBQ outside but also used the covered table area next to the pool in the evening. The pool was immaculate and there were plenty of sun loungers and shady areas to find. Valentina was there at hand to help when we needed it and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The property is a couple of minutes drive from Perugia which we found made a great central base to visit lots of beautiful hill top cities such as Assissi, Spello and Oliveto. If you are looking for a relaxing break tucked away in a quiet and homely setting yet within easy reach of lots of beautiful Umbrian destinations then we would recommend Le Balze.

Beautiful villa a stone's throw away from Perugia town center
We stayed at Il Melograno with our two kids in August 2018. The location is great - 5/10 minute drive to the town centre. Yet the villa is super green, secluded and peaceful. The apartment is stunning, with lots of natural light and beautiful furniture - a mix of brand new (kitchen) and antiques (bedrooms). The patio/gazebo outside has a fully functioning open air kitchen with sink, stove, BBQ and a big dining table, which was so nice to have in the summer to make the most of the beautiful Italian weather. We will be coming back! :)

Einfach nur traumhaft!
Wir durften mit unseren beiden Kindern unseren Urlaub im Sommer 2018 hier verbringen.
Die Fotos versprechen wirklich nicht zu viel. Die Wohnung Melograno ist wunderschön, geräumig, sehr sauber, mit viel Geschmack und viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Auch die Ausstattung lässt nichts vermissen: Geschirr, Töpfe, Pfannen, Zubehör, Kühlschrank, Herd, Geschirrspüler nebst Tabs und sogar ein Sandwichmaker waren vorhanden. Auch verschiedene Decken, Spiele, Reiseführer waren in der Wohnung zu finden. Wöchentlich wurden frische Handtücher und Bettbezüge bereit gelegt.
Die wunderschöne große und ruhige Außenanlage mit den Oliven- und Pinienbäumen, die genügend Rückzugs- aber auch Spielmöglichkeiten für die Kinder bereit hält, ist ein Traum – der perfekte Ort zum Entspannen. Jeden Morgen wurden wir zudem vom schönsten Vogelgezwitscher geweckt.
Auf dem Grundstück waren insbesondere zur Freude unserer Kinder auch zwei sehr gut erzogene, liebe Hunde.
Der Pool ist herrlich groß, das Wasser stets sehr sauber und klar, ohne Chlorgeruch. Genauso hatten wir ihn uns gewünscht und vorgestellt.
Die Herzlichkeit der Gastgeberin und deren Familie verdienen bei allem Lob aber eine besondere Erwähnung. Valentina spricht zudem fließend deutsch und englisch. Unsere Privatsphäre wurde bei ihr ganz groß geschrieben; gleichwohl war sie irgendwie immer da, wenn man sie brauchte. Einzigartig und fabelhaft!
Es war eine unglaublich schöne und erholsame Woche.
Liebe Valentina, ganz herzlichen Dank dafür und die vielen unvergesslich schönen Momente bei euch!

Beautiful stay for the holiday!
We stayed in "The Rose" for 14 days.
Excellent house and a beautiful big garden, with a lot of privacy. The house is comfortable and very clean.
Plenty of nice plates, glasses etc.
We had a nice contact with Valentina and we liked the sweet dogs. Very quiet, but close to Perugia and a lot of other places.
So overall, we can recommend the place very much.

What a fabulous place!
I loved staying for the night, 6th July, in this wonderful place. The Melograno appartment is most beautifully furnished and equipped; everywhere is immaculate and spotlessly clean. The airy, spacious and very comfortable rooms would be perfect for a family stay. Outside there are lovely gardens and a pool making it ideal for children. There is an outside kitchen and dining area with armchairs making it the perfect spot for outdoor living during warm weather. I can't recomend a stay here highly enough. It is a dream of a place. Valentina is an excellent hostess as she is always on hand to assist but never intrusive.

Il nostro breve soggiorno a Il Melograno é stato un'esperienza indimenticabile!
Il Melograno e Il Rustico,l'appartamento di sotto, sono perfetti per una vacanza con amici o con la famiglia!
I due appartamenti offrono la possibilità di cucinare e mangiare all'aperto!Una carinissima veranda (con barbecue) di legno all'ombra una pineta é l'ideale per cene e grigliate estive o pranzetti al fresco!A un passo dalla piscina lo rende perfetto per vacanze con bambini!
L'appartamento é pulitissimo e curato nel dettaglio!
la cucina ha una comodissima finestrella sul salotto: i bimbi la hanno adorata per fare il gioco del Cucú!
La descrizione e le foto corrispondono alla realtà,la vera sorpresa di questo posto è stata la Signora Valentina: disponibilissima(ci ha dato ottimi consigli!), ospitale e gentile ma anche riservata e rispettosa della privacy degli ospiti!
A cinque minuti dal centro della città, ideale per relax e turismo!!!!!!

Lovely apartment in beautiful surroundings
We spent a very pleasant week in the apartment. It had plenty of space, very comfortable fittings in a lovely large estate. The pool was excellent, and there were many places to sit and relax in the sun or in the shade - your choice! The outdoor al -fresco barbecue area was a joy! And Valentina is a lovely, welcoming and helpful owner. All you needed on a day-to-day basis was just five minutes away in the car - and if you didn't feel like testing your driving skills in Perugia there was a bus stop right outsider the gate! Assisi was only 20 minutes away - and the airport only 15 minutes. Highly recommended!

Valentina is a kind and wonderful host who was always available if we needed anything. The apartment has everything you need and her well-kept garden is full of open space, flowers, patios to dine al fresco, and a relaxing pool.
