April 2022Great trip for the whole family
We LOVED this villa. Our time at the Caidominici villa was great for our family (10 adults), we enjoyed the place with its stunning views and the amazing dinners with the villa's italian cook - we learned how to make pizza and tiramisu. Besides enjoying the villa, the location is great for day trips (Perugia, Assisi, etc) to cities nearby and other activities (truffle hunting) that made our stay very interesting and fun. We'll be back! Thank you for having us!”

June 2018Like a dream, even the air is scented
One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed in the world. Situated in a hidden valley in an unspoiled part of Umbria, this is a beautifully renovated large farmhouse that speaks to heart, deep sense of home and perfection. Pure luxury. The most perfect place to kick back, read a book, breathe deep and reconnect with friends and family. Like a dream. Thank you James! We very much hope to see you in Kenya!”

May 2017Absolutely Stunning
Seven of us spend the most wonderful week at the Villa in mid-May. Staying in the 300 year old home that James and his family has renovated is the most wonderful experience. Nothing has been spared in making the home welcoming and very comfortable for groups up to about 10 or 12 people. It is so well done that it can handle groups much larger than ours. The grounds are beautiful as is the view. The property is a bit remote (that is one of the beauties of the location) so rent a car and plan to do a bit of driving but it is worth it without question. The staff is wonderful, the amenities are like being in the finest hotel. A great pizza oven, super kitchen where everyone can jump in and cook or just sip a glass of wine form the "honor" wine cellar.The chef is a do not miss experience. Book her for a couple of dinners and you will not be disappointed. Simonetta is a wonderful cook and lots of fun. Franchescia manages the property for James and she know everything about the home and the surrounding area. She went out of her way to be helpful. There is even room on the property for a helicopter to land. We hired one and spent the day wine tasting in Tuscany. What a blast. The directions that James provides worked like a charm and we found the home without any trouble and were so excited to come through the gates and down the long white drive to a wonderful experience. Enjoy - Worth every key! Thanks to James and family for a wonderful experience. Doug and Pat Sutherland Roseville, California”
