La Licina

The moment we arrived at La Licina, we loved it SO much that we cancelled plans to do a side trip to Abruzzo. Our apartment, La Ginestra, was clean, spacious and well-appointed. We did without the expense of a car (first time) and did just fine. You can walk into Spoleto to the train station, restaurants, shops and places of interest. By train you can reach many other cities. You can also walk through a field to a local restaurant. Our favorite parts? The golden skies of an Umbrian evening and our hosts, Francesca and Ludovico, who are now friends. We're going back this year!

We had a fantastic 2 weeks at La Licina in August 2012. 2 adults and 2 children aged 11 and 12, we stayed in "il Tartufo" which was spacious, comfortable and fully equipped with everything we needed. The swimming pool was the best we have had in a private rental - good size, beautifully maintained, lovely setting with great views to the distant Umbrian hills. We all enjoyed the donkeys and cats and munching the yummy figs and tomatoes offered by Ludovico. The hosts were welcoming, generous, friendly and full of local knowledge which they were happy to share. Spoleto is lovely too!
