Casa San Gabriel

We met my parents there whilst they were travelling. Great spot for kids with plenty to keep them busy. They lived playing with the dogs, Bessie and Lina. Great little cottage with lots of space. Would stay here anytime

We met our son and his family at Casa San Gabriel and it was perfect. The individual cottages suited us, they were well equipped and gave us everything we needed plus there was a little playground for the grandchildren. We will have to come back in the summer to try out the pool. The view from up there was spectacular. Whilst you feel you are in your own little world away from everything, all you need is close at hand.

We had a wonderful week staying at Casa San Gabriel with our two children. David and Chrissie are fantastic hosts, the setting and views are amazing and it's perfectly located with lots of places in easy reach for a day trip, with a heavenly pool to come back to and relax by at the end of the day. We would definitely come and stay again!

We loved our stay at Casa San Gabriel. Chrissie and David were so helpful and accomodating.The beds, and our cottage were super comfortable, and the view lovely. It was a very relaxing visit and we cant wait to visit again. On a side note, make sure you visit Vineria del Carmine while staying. Lovely winery down the road.

What a great place to stay. Chrissie and David were very hospitable and were always on hand to offer advice. 5 minute drive from the house is a great restaurant in the local village and a great wine tasting place in the valley. Highly recommended!!

A superb holiday experience to escape from the city. We've had the pleasure of staying once before at Casa San Gabriel in the La Stalla cottage and were excited to return. The cottage is perfect for a couple to stay in and the large windows offer uninterrupted views out to a lush valley of vineyards and olive groves with Assisi in the distance. When it's warm, breakfast or an evening drink on the patio provides an even better view! Hosts David and Chrissie are most welcoming and have the cottages and surrounds maintained beautifully and the pool in warm weather is perfect! Thank you!

It's hard to imagine a more picturesque location that Casa San Gabriel, perched above a post-card perfect valley in rural Umbria. It's a great base for exploring the medieval towns that seem to emerge from every hilltop. Our gregarious hosts, David and Chrissie, know the region inside out and were able to recommend a great itinerary, including local festivals we wouldn't have known about otherwise. The chestnut festival at Preggio was an absolute highlight of our stay.

We were doing a multi country tour in Europe finishing up in Rome and after a few hectic weeks what an oasis of peace and tranquility Casa San Gabriel proved to be. We were looking for somewhere to wind down before commencing the long journey home and were recommended here by a friend who had found them in Sawdays. Chrissie and David and their girls were wonderful hosts and we could not of asked for any more. We stayed in Fienile which was a very well equipped cottage with a spectacular view. A great hub to explore locally with many close by little treasures to explore without over doing it.

The perfect setting for a wonderful stay in Umbria, the green heart of Italy. The structure is immersed in the countryside and the view from the top of the hill is breathtaking. The cottage was charming and clean. The hosts were lovely.

Over the course of many years travelling through Italy, I have returned to Casa San Gabriel several times. A beautiful setting with a perfect view of the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi on a bright day. The area is surrounded by ancient woodland and vines that cascade and climb over the mountainous terrain. Fine walking routes allow you to explore and sample the wine and gastronomy of the area on route in peace and tranquillity. The crowning glory is the pool, situated at the highest plateau with peripheral views of the area. Casa San Gabriel is an umbrian idyll.

We had the most brilliant week here a couple of years ago. In fact, I’ve been inspired to write this after stumbling across the entry. We swam in the pool every day, made new friends, star-gazed every night. The wine was fantastic and Christina and David were the most relaxed and friendly hosts. One of our best family holidays.
