Our second stay, wonderful as the last! The garden is a stand out, the house cosy and comfortable. Communication - Hilary has the patience of a saint! Cannot recommend enough!

Three of us stayed at Vasciano 9 for two weeks. A wonderfully curated traditional tuscan farmhouse just the right size for our little group. The vision and execution of the gardens are exceptional. There are so many thoughtful spots to rest and enjoy. And, the pool, is soooooo nice after a day walking around the local towns. The owners have a complete set of notebooks introducing local businesses and necessities. A very special experience.

We had a very nice holiday. The house is beautiful and the surroundings are great. Our children loved the pool and the garden. The house is very well equipped. Hilary is a great host and will answer all of your questions. Thank you for a great holiday.

We had a wonderful week - the sort of place you almost don't want to tell people about in case everyone discovers it! Beautiful garden, pool, views, well-equipped and spacious farmhouse which was ideal for our family. All communication was perfect and lots of helpful information in advance and at the house. We feel very grateful to have found it and hope to return. Thank you Hilary and Jack.

The house is great and very well équiped. The garden and the swimling pool are fabulous. If you are looking for a quiet place go for it! Reading a book under the figs and olive trees is Very relaxing. The instructions are very clear and the people looking after the house are discret and Nice. The children were very happy. We can see the hard work that has been done since 1990.

My family of 3 had an incredible week at this beautiful restored farmhouse. The pictures simply do not do it justice. I have traveled extensively and stayed at some beautiful places but the setting of this farmhouse could not have been lovelier. In addition, both the owner and the property manager were great to work with and very responsive, both prior to our stay as well as during our time there. If you just want a place to hang out and relax or looking to take day trips to the many beautiful villages and towns in the surrounding area, you will not be disappointed.

Vasciano is a lovely haven and Hilary a thoughtful and responsive host. The house is charming and well-equipped. The garden is a real joy, mature and well-maintained - the photos do not do it justice - with banks of flowers, the pool set apart, table in different locations and a built-in barbecue. The situation is peaceful with some local views. Given the rural location, few journeys other than to the nearest village are less than half an hour; there are attractions in every direction, though staying put is also very appealing! Highly recommended for a family or small group.

This was our 4th trip to the Tuscany/Umbria and we have stayed in a variety of villas, large and small. Without hesitation this was by far our most enjoyable experience. The house is beautiful, the grounds quite stunning and the attention to detail wonderful. It is convenient for all of the major towns and for us, coming from Rome, an easier drive than areas to the north. We dined at the house on 4 occasions and the food prepared by Fanny was excellent. Sitting under the pergola with a local Rosso di Montefalco and listening to the wildlife was as relaxing as it gets. Can't wait to go back.

Over the past 10 years my family and I have stayed in various holiday homes throughout France and Italy, and I always do my best to try and find homes that offer tranquility and peace but are not located too far from all the places of interest. Vasciano Nove is by far the best holiday home we have ever rented - it is beautifully set in nature and is perfect for those looking for peace and tranquility in a romantic setting. The wonderful pool with panamoric views over the neighbouring hilltops is the cherry on the cake. A five star location!

Ein liebevoll restauriertes und ausgestattetes Haus mit sehr gepflegten Gartenanlagen, zahlreichen schattigen Sitzplätzen und großem Pool. Dank der genauen Wegbeschreibung der Vermieter war es sehr gut zu finden. Ein sehr schöner Ort!

Prima contact met eigenaren. Huis ligt op prachtige plek. De weg (rough road) naar het huis is echter heel slecht. Je zit daardoor ver van winkel/bakker etc.

We traveled as a family of three and had a great stay. The villa is very well equipped and lovingly restored and has a beautiful well maintained garden. The Pool was fantastic. We had some small issues with insects around the pool, but the owner helped us to find some solutions quickly. We did some kovely trips to nearby historic villages. Great holiday.

La casa è bellissima, la tenuta anche, la piscina eccezionale. Noi purtroppo siamo stati sfortunati con gli insetti, una invasione di tafani ha reso il nostro soggiorno poco piacevole, inoltre la strada per raggiungere la casa è accidentato. Consiglierei questa casa a chi cerca relax e vita a contatto con la natura in un ambiente rurale ed esclusivo!

We had a very good time in Vasciano. Good weather, neither too hot, nor too cold of course. Beautiful view, beautiful house and garden and swimming pool. Everything gathered and well organised to have rest and fun with our family. Thank you Hilary and Jack!

Fabulous garden! Swimmingpool with stunning view. Totally charming farmhouse. Very well equipped kitchen. Don’t let the drive of the last kilometer to the house scare you of: It is a steep climb on an uneven road (for a Dutch driver anyway), but totally worth it!

Vasciano is an extraordinary home and garden, reflective of years of care and creation by Hillary and Jack. If it’s a relaxing stay you’re after in a secluded rural retreat offering a house of rustic comfort and character, set in a gem of a garden with pool, Vasciano is perfect. (Some grading of the access road would make it extra perfect!)

10/10

The farmhouse is great, the rooms are well furnished and the kitchen is really well equipped. But the the best of all is the fantastic garden with the awesome view. We enjoyed the stay and fell in love with the house, the garden , the peaceful atmosphere, the delecious food, the tasty regional wines and there friendly Umbrian people. We surely will come back.

Vasciano is simply a fantastic place to stay. It is a beautiful location on the Tuscany-Umbrian border, down a quiet track. It has fantastic views and a wonderful salt pool. It is peaceful and still - perfect for getting away from the rush of everyday life. The house is also well stocked with furniture, books, games, crockery and glassware; the kitchen is a pleasure to cook in. Hilary was excellent at offering advice and there are lots of things to do nearby. We really appreciated her telephone call to check that we had arrived safely. The garden is extremely well kept, and I cannot think of a nicer place to sit and read books for hours on end. Thanks for sharing your lovely house with us - we will certainly be back!

Nous avons passé 2 semaines splendides à Vasciano. Les photos du site sont tout-à-fait fidèles à la réalité et, en réalité, parlent d'elles-mêmes... Le gîte est vraiment parfait pour les amateurs de calme et de nature, qui pourront s'y ressourcer en contemplant les collines ombriennes depuis le jardin très soigneusement entretenu. Mais convenons que ce serait dommage de séjourner en Ombrie sans visiter Assises, Perugia, Gubbio, Cortona, le lac Trasimène et tant d'autres splendides endroits à découvrir dans la région. La piscine est vraiment géniale et, à vrai dire, bien nécessaire en été, où il peut faire très chaud: nos enfants en ont bien profité, c'est clair. Que dire de plus sinon que la maison est très bien équipée, dans un style très fidèle à sa construction d'origine: rien ne manque et les propriétaires ont absolument tout fait pour rendre le séjour de leurs locataires agréable. Bref, une adresse hautement recommandable, dans laquelle nous serions heureux de revenir un jour. Encore merci à Hilary et Jack pour leur excellent accueil et leur suivi très professionnel.

I was searching for a retreat on the Tuscan / Umbrian border and wanted something authentic and peaceful. My heart stopped as I approached the house ...it was everything and more than I had hoped for! Villa Vasciona is set in the hills with spectacular views, a wonderful garden with many, almost secret hideaways in which to sit and relax ...and of course a stunning pool. Hilary and Jack had anticipated every traveller's need and their obvious love for their home in Italy makes this a perfect holiday destination. The Villa is withing easy reach of all the wonderful Italian cities and hill top towns on our visiting list and we enjoyed returning in the early evening for a swim in the pool , supper in the garden and watching the fireflies dance in the moon light. Simply perfect! It was so hard leaving it after three weeks of heaven!

Wir haben uns in Vaciano 9 ungeheuer wohl gefühlt. Das Haus selbst hat alles und noch viel mehr, was man für einen perfekten Urlaub braucht, der wunderschöne Garten bietet für jede Tageszeit ein Plätzchen, an dem es sich wohl sein lässt, das große Schwimmbad sorgt für ein luxuriöses Gefühl und in etwa jeweils einer Stunde erreicht man all die vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten, die Nordumbrien zu bieten hat. Es ist einfach unglaublich, was Hilary und Jack Lance innerhalb von nahezu 30 Jahren aus einem verfallenen Bauernhaus und einer Brache gezaubert haben.

This was our third stay at Vasciano Nove, and we come back for a reason. It's a charming, well-equipped and welcoming house, with a fabulous garden and pool. It's within easy striking distance of Sienna, Perugia and other places, which we've done in the past. This time, we did nothing but relax, swim and read.
