Farm Stays in Valtopina

Antonio Fardella Italy

What to say in advance. 1. We were looking for a place completely disconnected from technology, from internet, from civilization. 2. We were looking for a place where we could have nice and healthy food. Comments. Marianna, and her family, is super nice. We felt like part of this family. Gentleness, care for the guest and cleanliness of the premises are the best three adjective that jumps up in our mind. The structure is very new. It is well kept, very clean and well maintained. The bed is quite big (Americans would call it "king size"), be aware that you can lose your wife in it 😜!! The bathroom is very clean, everything works properly, the shower box is big enough to fit two people... and there are two shower heads!! Overall the room is fantastic, big and very clean. Food. Breakfast is included in the price of the room. it is very rich, everything is local: yoghurt, bread (hand made by Marianna herself!!), juices, millet, oatmeal... fantastic flavor and very tasty. Upon request, for lunch and/or dinner, Marianna can also prepare the famous "tagliere di salumi" (tray of cold cuts) with a lot of local cold cuts, made with passion and love by local farmers.

The property location provides gorgeous views of a vast, beautiful mountain region with Assisi and Spello behind the ridge. There are scenic country drives to both cities one can choose over highways. The property is an excellent base for exploring the many charming towns of Umbria. We had a large comfortable country style room with a well-equipped bathroom. The heating system was perfect, which was much appreciated during some chilly autumn nights. WiFi was very good. Breakfast is served in a charming dining room with a wood burning stove, adjacent is a comfortable lounge area that features a big fireplace. And there is a large patio and picnic area with amazing views of the surrounding region. All of this was topped by our hosts, Ada and Francesco. Making us welcome and comfortable beyond expectations seemed in their nature. And they always surprised us with something special. Here are some examples. Upon noticing my wife’s difficulties with stairs due to a recent injury, they offered an alternate room as an upgrade free of charge. The broad selection of excellent breakfast items included lots of items from their farm, which often were unique variations with an edge over what we found at restaurants and places offering Italian specialties. We enjoy a glass of wine before dinner and Francesco promptly set us up on our private patio with local wines and snacks. We gladly accepted the option to have dinner at the property on several nights. Ada’s cooking took typical local dishes to another level from what we had experienced elsewhere. Her wild boar dish, for instance, was out of this world. Francesco added some of his items from the farm as appetizers and wine from local producers. Being seated near the wood burning stove on a chilly night made these dinners a highlight of our trip. Being around Ada and Francesco, their lovely young daughter Ana and Francesco’s engaging dad in their charming country place left us with memories we won’t forget.

The owners are very nice and helpful. The place is very nice. For those who want a very good dish, I recommend the carbonara pasta with truffle (very good).

Basaletto was a little bit of paradise on this earth. Our stay exceeded our expectations in every way. The nature around it is stunning, Assisi just a short drive away - and the hosts simply amazing human beings.

The original 14th century monastery is located in a very beautiful hilly landscape, surrounded by vineyards and very quiet - pure relaxation. Attentive and nice staff and excellent food. It is 11 km to Assisi. We enjoyed it very much.
