This is one of the few places that is more beautiful than the photos! We were a family group of 15 brought together by the matriarchs 80th birthday. From 80 to 5, we all had a fabulous time. Preggio is a very small village with only one restaurant, a bar open infrequently and no services. But shopping, a magnificent lake, and much else was only 20 minutes away. You need to have cars if you want to explore the region, and the roads of Umbria can by winding and narrow. But the setting is magnificent, the villa is exactly as described, with most rooms having an attached bathroom, and the pool is terrific. We had a great time and can recommend the villa without hesitation.
Villa I due Casali is a beautiful villa in a stunning location. The rooms are all very spacious and very nicely decorated and we were amazed that every bedroom has its own bathroom. The pool is fabulous, large enough that it never felt crowded even when our entire group of 17 was in it. The grounds are fantastic with stunning views over the Umbrian hills and mountains. The outdoor space is superb with the covered seating area being a particular favourite for our evening meals. Our host, Anna was very responsive on the couple of occasions when we had minor issues to be sorted. We also asked asked Anna to come and cook for us one evening and she created an amazing four course dinner for a very reasonable price. If you are staying at this villa do not miss the opportunity to get Anna to cook for you. You will not regret it. Although the beautiful village of Preggio is right behind the village there are no shops or bars/restaurants. The nearest small supermarket is in Castel Rigone about 15 minutes away but the larger supermarkets are in Passignano, Magione or Umbertide all about half an hour away so shopping trips are a bit of a trek. Having said that, it is well worth the effort to enjoy the peace and seclusion available at Villa I due Casali. Anna you are a fabulous host and you very much became our family friend during our stay. We had the most wonderful stay at this stunning place and we very much hope to return in the not too distant future.
Wir haben beide HĂ€user der Villa i due Casali im Sommer 2022 gemietet - und es war wunderbar. Die Zimmer mit eigenem Bad und die Wohnungen sind schön, teilweise sehr schön. Der Garten mit dem Pool und dem kleinen Sportplatz (Volleyball, Fussball) ist toll, der Weitblick gerade am Abend mit Sonnenuntergang phantastisch. Anwesend waren fĂŒnf Familien mit Kindern, an den Abenden haben wir alle draussen gesessen, gegessen und getrunken. Man kann auch etwas lauter sein, weil es keine unmittelbaren Nachbarn gibt. Man muss sich bewusst sein, dass es in Preggio (leider) wenig gibt. FĂŒr EinkĂ€ufe muss man 20 Minuten ins Auto sitzen. Die Betreuung durch Anna vor Ort war super. Die Vermietungsagentur im Hintergrund hingegen hat sich mit Antworten jeweils Zeit gelassen und war nicht so gut.
