About this property

Il Pianaccio is our home in Umbria, Italy. It is a traditional Italian farmhouse constructed with thick stone walls, wood beams and terracotta floors and roof. We have recently completed a total renovation of the house and it is now available to rent. The house is located on 2.5 acres in the country but within sight of the nearest village, Pesciano. It makes a perfect place for a relaxing holiday with lots of peace and quiet while being near many of the most popular tourist areas in Umbria and Tuscany. The area surrounding the house is ideal for hiking and for viewing native wildlife. Not surprisingly, there are many great restaurants within a short driving distance. We would be happy to recommend our favorites. With its thick, stone walls; shuttered windows and doors; and elevated location, the house remains comfortably cool even during the hottest months. All windows are screened and the lower windows and doors have decorative security grates.

The house comfortably sleeps 10 but can also accommodate smaller groups. It has three floors with five bedrooms, four bathrooms (two of which have separate shower and tub), two living rooms with ceiling fans(one with satellite TV and DVD player), and a dining room with a table for ten. It also features a gourmet kitchen with a large refrigerator and freezer, a five-burner gas stove with two ovens, Carrera marble countertops and a dishwasher. There are three fireplaces and a laundry room with a washer and dryer. Outside, there is a large covered pergola with a table for eight and another table for four. A balcony off the middle floor at the other end of the house is a perfect location for a morning caffé. There is a new 12 meter by 5 meter pool with glass tile surfacing and a renovated outdoor wood-burning bread/pizza oven.

The renovation of the house preserved it in the traditional style for Italy with exposed beams and terracotta floors and ceilings. The bottom floor features three brick arches which create an open floor plan for the living room, dining area and kitchen.

The house is located in Umbria, the green heart of Italy, about ten km from Todi. It is convenient to Orvieto, Assisi, Deruta, Perugia, Torgiano, Gubbio, Montefalco, Spello, Spoleto and the other points of interest in Umbria and is a good base for going to attractions in Tuscany. Rome and Florence are each approximately a ninety-minute drive.

Fantastisch huis en omgeving. Slechte communicatie over de bereikbaarheid van de woning.

De vakantiewoning is echt geweldig. Er is echter 1 groot nadeel en dat is de weg naar de woning toe. Je hebt echt een 4x4 aandrijving nodig! Dankzij de buurman werd het toch een geslaagde vakantie. Hij heeft ons o.a. geholpen met het veilig verplaatsen van onze auto's!

August delight

A fantastic house for a large family. Plenty of space for everyone. We enjoyed having all our meals outside on the terrace - the wisteria creating plenty of shade in the heat of the day. The pizza oven was a great success and not too challenging for the cooks! Have stayed at many houses in Italy but have never experienced such a wonderful pool - a truely idyllic setting.

Thoroughly Enjoyed the House

We visited here in June and weather was great! We only had 2 couples at the house and it was very nice to enjoy the area and the house itself. It was nice to have the windows open and night and hear the various birds through the night and early morning. Yes that is a cuckoo bird you hear. Be sure to plan time in your stay to just relax and enjoy it. We made some great pizza in the stone oven. Several good cookbooks supplied that you can have some fun cooking and still experience some good Italian food and wine. Would love to return to the area again. We were able to do a few 'day' trips to Assisi, Orvieto and of course Todi. We had read on one of the posts about Daruta for the ceramics and that is a nice little adventure to shop. Some really nice cantinas to experience some of the local wines. First class accommodations. I am glad we were able to stay here on our first visit to the region. We hope to be back and bring more friends and family to enjoy the house and the area. As far as transportation you will need a car in this area. Highly recommend and all-wheel drive auto if you can get one to help navigate the gravel roads.

Wonderful Property

My wife and I joined our good friends Joe and Connie for several days at this wonderful farmhouse. The views were outstanding, the setting was in the farm country outside of Todi and was just perfect. The kitchen was first class, the patio was ideal for cocktails and wine after a "hard day" of touring Umbria and Tuscany, the dining room got good use, the bedrooms were nicely appointed and we enjoyed every evening with the windows open and a cool breeze. We had a great time heating the outside stone oven and making pizza from scratch. This is a wonderful home and we plan to visit again.

About the host

Hosted by David VanSickel

After years of renting in Umbria/Tuscany, three Iowa families linked by the practice of law took a leap of faith and jointly purchased Il Pianaccio. We enjoy spending time together and bringing our friends, children, and other family members to experience the peace and solitude afforded by our Umbrian escape. While Il Pianaccio currently serves as our vacation home, the ultimate plan is to retire to our property and enjoy la dolce vita on a daily basis. Whether you are bringing your young children to experience Italy for the first time or renting the house with friends, Il Pianaccio meets the needs of diverse groups. It is our home-away-from-home and is comfortably furnished. We invite you to contact us with any questions that you may have with regard to daytrips or Italian culture in general. We are eager to share our love of Italy with others and hope that you consider spending time at our home.

When staying at Il Pianaccio, you will be provided with local contact information for our Italian property manager who can assist you in case of emergency. We will also provide recommendations and assist with reservations with regard to daytrips, local restaurants, and the local cantinas. We have damigiane available to fill at several local continas -- a truly unique Italian experience!
