Private Home & Private Pool 8/24-31 and 9/7-28 Avbl. FREE WELCOME PASTA DINNER

Situated in Italy's "golden triangle", where the three provinces of Lazio, Tuscany and Umbria meet, Casa Le Crete is a charming farmhouse where the beauty of the landscape converges with the rich history of the region.

The house is well positioned in the middle of the Orvieto Classico wine region just outside the hills of Ficulle, an ancient city whose roots date back to the Etruscan civilization. The location provides a chance for wine enthusiasts to savor the local wines that are a product of the sun-kissed hills and the fertile lands that surround the house. Ficulle, with its ancient roots dating bak to the Etruscan civilization, adds a layer of historical richness to the experience.

Its privileged position atop a slope gives the villa undisturbed 360 degree panoramic views and is reached by a private access road. A place to slow down, relax, observe and discover the riches of Umbria.

Note: It is recommended to have a midsize car for the small roads and towns. The last kilometer to the house is a white road (unpaved).

Staying at Casa Le Crete is a journey through time and culture, where every corner of the farmhouse tells a story, and every view from its windows frames a piece of the Italian countryside's timeless beauty.

It's not just a place to vacation; it's an immersion into the soul of Italy.

The interior is a mix of antique furniture from local markets, modern pieces without pretensions and artistic decoration that reflects the cultural tapestry of the area.

The farmhouse is made up of two separate residences (La Dolce Villa, which is the owners' home and La Dolce Vista, which is the rental property. Together they make up Casa Le Crete. Complete privacy is guaranteed as the owners are never in residence when the property is rented

The two renovated floors of 120 sq m. the farmhouse is located on a hill with spectacular views in an oasis of peace surrounded by 4,250 m2 of land with vineyard and swimming pool

The living room, a haven of comfort, opens up through French doors to reveal a splendid view of the countryside and the glistening swimming pool. A comfortable sofa and wicker armchairs create a cozy retreat, complemented by a wood stove in the corner, promising warmth and relaxation in the cooler months.

Outside, a rustic wooden table and chairs invite you to savor a glass of wine, the company of loved ones, and the beauty of the landscape.

Stepping into the kitchen and dining room the antique oak table can host family and friends gathered around to share and make memories. The kitchen stands ready for your culinary creations. Or should you wish to indulge in the culinary expertise of Grazia, the option for home cooked meals or even a cooking class awaits.

A bedroom with double bed is located on the ground floor with your private ensuite bathroom. The color scheme of forest green and lavender soothes the spirit. Vintage botanical prints collected by the owners are displayed on the walls.

As you look through the French doors your private patio reveals itself, offering another panoramic view of the surrounding olive trees and grapevines. A great place for an early morning cappuccino.

The Second floor consists of two bedrooms and bathroom at the end of the corridor.

The master bedroom is large and spacious with a queen size bed. The artwork adorning the walls is not just decoration but a gallery of original pieces, painted with love and creativity by the family members.

The second bedroom, the 'Vespa room' in light of its transportation theme, is set up to accommodate two children. Versatile and accommodating, the beds can be pushed together for couples or left individually for children, ensuring that every guest find their perfect space.

At the end of the hallway, a large second bathroom beckons.

For your convenience, the washing machine is housed in the technical room just outside the house. Two drying racks stand ready, embracing the Italian tradition of sun-dried freshness.

In the upstairs master bedroom a ceiling fan ensures a gentle breeze.
Three additional fans are also available. The elevation of the property and the absence of any surrounding homes ensures a breeze.

Magical Time at Casa Le Crete!
Staying at Casa Le Crete felt like coming home! We were so dearly cared for by Grazie, Lisa and Arturo. The kitchen was stocked with wine, milk, eggs and coffee and then a wonderful lasagna dinner complete with a salad awaited us upon our arrival. Every need was anticipated. Outside there are so many options for sitting and relaxing. Thank you so very, very much for our holiday home. We are coming back next year!

Panoramic views out of this world
Panoramic views from this property are out of this world! It was even more spectacular than we imagined. The villa is situated in a beautiful hilltop amongst the rolling hills of Umbria. The road to get to the villa was a bit daunting after 10 days but manageable. The villa grounds were not attended to and could have been in a better condition for our stay. Piles of Needles from the pine trees were left behind on the pool deck and could have been cleaned up. Chairs were not in the best condition and not the loungers as in the photos in the listing and no umbrella but we did request one and they brought one a few days later. The awning above the dining area was in disrepair and on our last day it came apart and was unsafe due to high winds. The bocce court could have used some tlc however it did seem to have been looked at the morning we were leaving so it was disappointing to have seen work being done when we left and it should have been done prior to our stay. The villa inside had great country charm and quite spacious. Kitchen was well equipped and we even used the charcoal grill. Some more deep cleaning would have been nice as there were many cobwebs about the villa but we understand it’s the countryside and there will be bugs. The bed was comfortable and waking up to the amazing Umbrian views were spectacular! All in all this was a great holiday rental and we enjoyed our 10 days living the Italian lifestyle. Thank you Lisa and Arturo for opening your home to us!

The most memorable place to spend time iin
Casa Le Crete is a dream come true from the moment we arrived to the last moment before we left. The rolling mountains, farmland, villages up on mountains, and 360 views never got old. Walking the roads amidst wild flowers and fields of growing vegetables made our mornings. Visiting Fabro Scalo and getting to recognize some of the villagers. Having a cappucino and pastry like a native at the local espresso bar. Even when the days became hot, the cool evening breezes allowed us to eat outside at the Casa. Hanging near the pool and watching the multitude of different magnificent sunsets. Some late afternoons, watching the swallows swirl and play above us and then come dashing down for a quick touch on the pool's surface. The ducks, the Quackers, greeting us in the mornings. And the accommodations were comfortable and home-like. We already miss the peace and beauty! Thank you to Lisa and Arturo for sharing such a special place! Susan and David

We absolutely loved our week at Casa Le Crete. It was perfect!
The property is very beautiful and is set in beautiful scenery - there are panoramic views! We would return in a heart beat! Top tip - the last bit of the journey to the villa is a little steep - it may be worth hiring a 4x4 though our Renault Megane handled it okay. No neighbours and stunning villages close by and there is a Coop in Fabro so all super easy to buy food etc.

Beautiful and serene villa with magnificent mountain views!
We loved the ten days we spent at Casa LaCrete at the end of May, beginning of June 2018. The villa is extremely comfortable and appointed with everything you need to enjoy a relaxing holiday. With so many beautiful choices for outside dining or just enjoying a glass of wine, we sometimes could not decide whether to sit by the pool, under the trees, at the outside bistro table, or one of the two shaded porticos. You have a view of the magnificent Umbrian countryside regardless of your choice. The caretaker, Stefano, is a delightful man and was always immediately responsive if we had any questions. This villa is private and secluded which was exactly what we wanted. There were two grocery stores within a short drive (Coop and Eurospin) and we found everything we needed to fix our own meals when we did not want to leave the villa. For most of our day trips, we drove the rental car, but there is a train station in Fabro Scalo with plenty of parking. We took the train to Orvieto one day and it was quite convenient. There are so many places to eat, but a couple of our favorites were Tuscany Divine in Chiusi (we loved the tasting menu for lunch) and La Pigra Tinca in Castiglione de Lago where we dined outside overlooking Lake Trasimeno. Probably our favorite event was a wine tour/tasting with lunch at Pomario Vineyard in Piegaro. You must make a reservation, but we highly recommend it. Thank you, Lisa, for being such a pleasure to work with, all your helpful suggestions, and accommodating us at Casa LaCrete!

Familienurlaub
Wir hatten wunderbare Tage. Am und im Pool mit superschöner Aussicht konnten wir alle gar nicht lange und oft genug sein. Die Autobahn, die man ein wenig hört, hat uns überhaupt nicht gestört, da immer ein angenehmes Lüftchen auf dem Hügel weht, der die aufgehängten Windspiele zum Klingen bringt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Wunderbarer Außenbereich mit genialem Blick
Wir hatten wunderbare zwei Wochen in diesem Haus. Der Garten ist riesig und es gibt zu jeder Tageszeit ein schattiges Plätzchen. Auch bei Hitze lässt es sich gut aushalten, denn es weht fast immer ein kleines Lüftchen und der große Pool tut sein übrigens. Die Autobahn hört man teilweise aber man sieht sie nicht. Sie lässt sich also gut ausblenden. Man hat zu allen Seiten einen weiteren, freien Blick auf die umliegenden Hügel und Orte. Das Zimmer mit den zwei einzelnen Betten ist gut geeignet für Kinder und nicht zu große Menschen. Die Matratzen sind wohl etwas kürzer. Für Leute bis 175 cm Körpergröße aber kein Problem. Grazia hat uns bestens empfangen und uns am ersten Tag mit einer leckeren Lasagne überrascht. Sie hat uns mit tollen Infos über Veranstaltungen in der Umgebung versorgt und uns auch unsere anderen Fragen prima beantwortet . Vielen Dank für diesen schönen Aufenthalt !

Jederzeit wieder!
Wir haben uns in Casa le Crete von unserer Ankunft an sehr wohl gefühlt, trotz Sturm und daraus bedingtem Stromausfall, was uns aber nicht groß gestört hat. Zudem hatten wir jederzeit tolle Unterstützung von Grazia, die jederzeit für uns da war. Casa le Crete hat eine fantastische Lage und somit eine wirklich beeindruckende Aussicht, welche man nur genießen kann! Mir persönlich hatte es die Hängematte besonders angetan, der Favorit meiner beiden Begleiterinnen war der Pool. Man hat viele Möglichkeiten es sich um das Haus herum gemütlich zu machen. Die Küche war mit allem ausgestattet was wir benötigten und auch die anderen Räumlichkeiten waren gut ausgestattet und toll gestylt. Die Anfahrt ist schon besonders, hat uns aber nicht abschrecken können!!! Zudem kam uns die Lage des Hauses sehr entgegen, da wir es nicht weit bis zur Toskana und auch zu unseren Zielen in Umbrien hatten. Wir kamen von unseren Ausflügen immer gerne zurück nach Casa le Crete und konnten hier unsere Abende angenehm gestalten. Auch mit der Versorgung gab es keinerlei Probleme, da 2 Supermärkte in der Nähe sind bzw. sich auf dem Weg zum Haus befinden. Wir können das Casa le Crete nur empfehlen!!! Nochmals vielen Dank an Grazia und auch an Lisa und Arturo, welche uns ihr Haus zur Verfügung gestellt haben, für einen wundervollen Urlaub!
