Casa Pieratti

This was our second visit to Casa Pieratti and we loved it just as much. Clare and Ali have created a gorgeous hideaway where we feel totally at home and relaxed. A lot of thought has gone into the interior and garden design and we love the blend of authentic Italian farmhouse with stylish details. We had good intentions of days out, but in the end we were happy to enjoy the pool, the views, the privacy and the peace. Thank you so much to Roberto for looking after us.

We were very lucky to spend a week at this magical place. The house conversion is exquisite, with such beautiful original features, yet so comfortable and homely. The views and the pool are stunning. I felt like I was in a film set for a week. Thank you Clare and Alison for sharing this special place with us. We had some lovely day trips out to Perugia and Fano, but mostly just loved lazing about drinking in the atmosphere. The housekeeper Roberto, could not have been more helpful. We will definitely be back.

We visited with our 2 boys age 6 and 10. The house is simply stunning, the location wonderful, very rural but with villages close by inc. restaurants serving very good local food. The house keeper was always available if we needed help, as were the owners on. Plenty to keep us all entertained, swimming, walking, our own private cinema, endless views to gaze at and paint, football and tennis for the boys. The perfect relaxation space we all really needed. Lots of wonderful, local, and not so local, places to visit. Italy never fails to delight and this house is a great base to enjoy it from.

A beautiful renovated home, with everything we needed. The outdoor space had so many spaces to relax, lovely planting and the pool was fabulous. Best of all was the location, which has the most fantastic views. We didn't feel the need to stray too far and have already booked to return - loved it!

As a family, we have never returned to a holiday house and we have stayed in some amazing places. We are returning to Casa Pieratti for the forth year running. Think that says it all. The house is stunning as is the pool and outside spaces. It is an absolute gem of a place. Really great food nearby and Ali and Clare are a delight to deal with. It's taken three years to write this review because we wanted to keep Casa Pieratti our secret.

A wonderful haven for total relaxation. We felt at home here from the minute we received a warm welcome from Roberto, the house manager. The house and grounds have been beautifully and sympathetically restored and there are many attractive areas to sit, eat, read and relax, with stunning views. The saline pool is just lovely and we also made good use of the home cinema area, where we lay watching from comfy cushions. Great books and board games too. Although there were only two of us, this would also be a perfect place for families or groups of friends and we can’t wait to return. Thank you.

This is our second trip to Casa Pieratti and we have booked again for next year. Ali and Clare have restored this old farm house with beautiful simplicity. Their attention to detail and care for guests comfort and enjoyment, without fuss, is second to none. The views from the pool are stunning and we just lay about, read, swam and ate delicious food. We have never been back to the same place twice, let alone three times, but Casa Pieratti has worked its way into our souls! The delightfully affectionate neighbour’s cats are an added bonus!

We had an absolutely magical stay in this fabulously comfortable and fun house. We spent hours in the pool, enjoyed the home cinema in the evenings and star gazing from the roof terrace. When we were able to tear ourselves away from the house and pool we explored the beautiful country walks that are all around the house and lead to beautiful villages or just through the hills. Citta di Castello - only ten minutes drive away - is a lovely small town with impressive churches and lots to discover around every corner. We couldn't have asked for a better holiday and we'll be booking for next year!

Our second visit to beautiful Casa Pieratti. Over the past year the gardens have flourished and the poolside dry garden is looking wonderful. It's so peaceful here it's hard to tear yourself away but we did manage a trip to the bustling Saturday market in Città di Castello and a visit to the Burri collection in Palazzo Albizzini. The rest of the time we spent lounging by the pool, swimming, reading and enjoying the tranquillity and wonderful views. So many butterflies and amazing hummingbird hawk-moths hovering over the dry garden. Just idyllic.

Casa Pieratti is a gem, whether you use it as a base to explore the cities of Marche and Umbria or just to relax in profoundly peaceful, beautiful countryside by a generous-sized pool set in a lovely garden. The house itself has been lovingly restored retaining the charm and dignity of a traditional farmhouse but with all modern comforts. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic stay at Casa Pieratti. The house is beautiful and very well equipped and the pool is quite fantastic, with stunning views over unspoilt countryside. A fairly remote spot, which suited us perfectly, though there are good restaurants within a short drive. We will be back again for sure!

What a glorious place. I have stayed in many rentals over the years and this really is the only one where you can't fault a thing taste-wise. It is exquisitely and lovingly set up for your holiday. Everything is elegant and comfortable and you can see that it is a real home, made with love. Only the best quality beds, sofas, sheets, equipment. The pool is lovely - saline - with a completely uninterrupted view. The planting is so pretty and the people who look after the house are so friendly, helpful and nice. Highlight: Lying in the bath and watching a projected movie with fantastic sound!

I've visited this part of Italy many times over the years and it's rare to find a real gem like this place. It has everything that I need for a relaxing holiday, not least the pool and the amazing views. The rooms are all airy and large, the beds are excellent and the bathrooms are well up to scratch. Everything you need is either there already or is easy to get in the nearby town. All in all, I loved it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend - the cinema is a nice touch as well!!

Beautiful old house, lovingly restored with art director's eye for rustic simplicity, has breathtaking views over surrounding countryside. Well equipped kitchen. Comfy beds with Egyptian cotton linen. Rooms, including en suite bathrooms, are large and airy. Clean saline pool, bordered by lovely dry garden. Plenty of recliners and parasols by pool and in herb filled garden around the house. Al fresco dining table has wonderful view. Roof terrace for sunbathing/stargazing, home cinema, good wifi. Peaceful base for exploring the region or just chilling out. Property manager Roberto very helpful.
