Preggio, 2.5km/1.5 miles, is a traditional little hill village with an excellent restaurant, caffès and a shop; several other restaurant options are available with a 15-minute drive. Lake Trasimeno offers boating and water sports at Passignano sul Trasimeno, 30 minutes, which is also the ferry terminal for the interesting trip to the lake’s islands. Weekly markets and supermarkets at Umbertide, 20 minutes, or on the lake at Castiglione del Lago, 40 minutes. Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio and Cortona (Tuscany) can all be reached in less than an hour. An excellent railway service connects the nearby Terentola-Cortona station to Siena, Rome and Florence within 1.5 hours. This is excellent walking country: an old Etruscan track passes next to the villa and continues through the forest. Preggio, too, can be reached on foot and there are lovely trails to medieval Castel Rigone, 9km/6 miles, and along the Tiber River near Umbertide.

Dear Lucia and Laurie, what a fabulous week! We have loved every moment.
Your hospitality was second to none, invaluable recommendations of places to visit and eat (and thank you for the delicious figs you bought for us!) Fiorella cooked us an amazing meal one night and dinner at the farmhouse was great – the food just kept coming!
And the views…..every evening we just looked at the views and were lucky to have a storm one night and shooting stars another. Thank you for making our stay wonderful

You have to go a long way to find a lovelier setting, and you would have to go a really long way to find a prettier, more authentic villa, which managed to feel like home in just a matter of hours. But no matter how far you went, you’d never find better hosts than Lucia and Lorenzo! We couldn’t be more grateful for all the help you’ve given us and the history you taught us. The cooking lesson with Fiorella was an amazing evening, leaving us with lasting memories and, hopefully, some new skills.

Dear Lucia and Laurie, thank you so much for the amazing visit, we have enjoyed every moment of our stay! One of the highlights for us was the pool, which we spent countless sunny hours playing and swimming in. We recommend the Perugina chocolate factory tour (with tasters!!) and La Pineta restaurant for some great food. We wish you all the best

Dear Lucia and Laurie, thank you for a wonderful stay! We really enjoyed the beautiful house, pool and surroundings. Thank you for all of your help and recommendations. We had a lovely authentic ‘Italian’ dinner at the Agriturismo Bellona – really outstanding! Also Castel Rigone with its little shops and amazing church was time well-spent. We hope to be able to visit you again in the near future. With all of our best wishes.

Dear Lucia and Laurie, thank you for a lovely stay as Bellona di sotto! The best family holiday ever! We have really enjoyed the pool, the house and the great surroundings. Thank you for all of your good tips, good conversations. We learned a lot! The dinner with Fiorella was an unforgettable experience. We also really enjoyed the lunch at Agriturismo Bellona. Lots of love.

Dear Lucia and Laurie
Thank you for a wonderful stay. We have loved every moment of our stay! Day trips, restaurants, time spent by the pool, morning coffees on the terrace, and the dinner in the woods and on the nearby farm. Morning talks with you and all of your stories and advice. You are the best. Morning walks in the olive grove. Thank you!

Dear Lucia and Laurie
Thank you for a wonderful weeks stay. We have had a great time and have much appreciated your help and advice on places to visit – Montone was a real gem. Your home is very beautiful, comfortable and well-appointed and the pool is a fabulous thing to have in this glorious weather. Our other particular favourite feature, you may have noticed (!) is the Umbrian wood-fired grill – used most nights. The lunch at Agriturismo Bellona that you arranged for us was also very special and we felt we had experienced a bit of ‘real’ Italy.
We hope you have a successful rest of the season, with our very best wishes.

Beautiful villa, great weather, time spent with friends. Wonderful restaurant recommendations.

Greetings from Napoli! Myself and Bart just wanted to thank you and Laurie for such a great experience and fantastic recommendations! We are already planning our return to Bellona Di Sotto with our parents next June 😊 Napoli has been great so far, the pics above are from Terrazza Calabritto, a great place to stop by for seafood when you’re here next! Looking forward to seeing you both next year

We are all really sad to be leaving this beautiful place. It has been a lovely way to celebrate an 80th birthday. We have visited Florence, Rome, Assisi, Cortona and of course the lake. It has been hard to drag the children away from the pool and we have really enjoyed our evenings putting the World to rights over several bottles of wine on the terrace. Thank you Laurie and Lucia for making us feel so welcome when we arrived and also for being on hand throughout our stay. Matt, Charlie, Josie, Ollie, Ian Andy, Rebecca and David.

Bellona di Sotto is the most attractive villa nestled amongst the beautiful hills of Umbria and with outstanding, even breathtaking, views. It is rustic but very well equipped for a holiday and has many old features which add to its charm. The pool is great and the main attraction in the hot weather. There is a wonderful undercover outdoor eating area overlooking the fantastic views and there is also an excellent barbecue.
It is the perfect place to relax yet within easy distance of villages and only an hour or two from some of the well known towns like Florence and Sienna. However, it is so lovely at the villa it is difficult to tear oneself away to do anything else!
The owners are most welcoming and very helpful with advice on where to visit, restaurants etc. I would highly recommend this villa.

We have had a wonderful stay at Bellona di sotto and will take away some great memories of our time at your beautiful villa. We were 3 generations – 11 of us and we particularly loved the pool. The views here are outstanding and we will miss those especially. Thank you for being so kind and helpful. I hope we may see you again. – Marilyn

Thank you for the two weeks at Bellona di Sotto. What a wonderful place and what an amazing view!! Thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness. Also thanks for your tips – we went to the farm restaurant, to Assisi, Perugia, Gubbio, Arezzo and Castel Rigone – wonderful places. We wish you all the best.

Tuscany Now & More delivered a fantastic vacation for our entire family. The home we rented was as wonderful, if not more, than how it was advertised and we always felt we had the best support to make our trip easy and relaxing. I will recommend the team to everyone.
Best,

A beautiful and tranquil location; the owner/caretaker couldn't have been more helpful, he also helped us book restaurants and gave us "local knowledge" of where to go and good places to eat. I am very impressed by the service - especially the accuracy of the web site - plenty of photos.
I have already recommended this site to others!
