Casa Pieratti

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.
