Holiday houses in Baschi Scalo

We recently stayed at Patrizia's lovely house in the Umbrian hills. We were a party of 5, three adults and two teenagers. It was everything we needed - quiet, relaxing, private and spacious, with a beautiful pool offering both shade (from a large, fragrant fig tree) and sun, surrounded by a lovely sunbathing area. Another member of the team (Veronica) met us when we arrived and showed us to the house. They allowed us to check in early as we had an early flight and they provided a good amount of local information on things to do, restaurants, swimming places in both the nearby lakes and the coast. Our stay was wonderful and a refreshing break from our home in the city. Everywhere we visited was wonderful. My husband and son took the train into Rome for a day trip, which was easy from the local town of Orvieto. Veronica was responsive throughout our stay and the amenities were as described. We were sad to leave this beautiful place

Our stay at La Casa dell Abate was truly wonderful and memorable and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys beauty and comfort off the beaten path. From the moment we arrived, Allesio was welcoming, friendly, showed us around the home and offered tips on what to do. He will also offer you the opportunity for a pasta class or gourmet dinner which is prepared by their friend Francesco, in the private garden/outdoor kitchen. We really enjoyed this experience. Their home is beautifully decorated yet maintains the charm of the 16th century in which the village was built. We slept great in the peaceful surroundings and the comfortable beds with nice linens. One of our best Airbnb experiences! Thank you Allesio.

This is, hands down, the BEST place to stay in Orvieto. The view is the best spot in the entire town- no joke. We walked the entire town and not one single view is better. Tourists and locals would walk down to this private area to catch the sunset or marvel at the vineyard views. We knew they were jealous as they saw us open the door right there and go inside. You will also not find a more helpful and gracious host. The streets in Orvieto are VERY NARROW and difficult to navigate but Elisabetta rode eith us in our car to help us park. We had intended on using this as a base for driving around the area but we loved it so much, we left the car parked and just walked the town for two days. Book this now! You will not regret it. It is far better than the photos that don’t do it justice.

We stayed seven nights in the accommodation and felt comfortable. The communication was very good and Maurizio helpful and the reception warm (including cake). The house and the surroundings are very beautiful, you have a great view of the countryside and can take small hikes from the house. There are seating areas on the terrace, in the sun and in the shade of trees. Supermarkets and Orvieto are quickly accessible by car. Excursions to Bolsena and Civitia di Bagnoregio, which can be reached within half an hour's drive, are recommended. Unfortunately, we could not use the pool because the weather was still too cool. We highly recommend this property.

What a lovely property and host! Andrea was very friendly and helpful. He gave us a tour of the home and answered any questions we had before leaving us to enjoy the wonderful property. He even sent us restaurant recommendations which turned out to be amazing. The property itself is picturesque and almost felt unreal. My family was in awe and couldn’t stop mentioning how it was the nicest part of our trip (which we stayed in multiple places throughout). It was impeccably clean without a single speck of dust present. The furnishings were all perfectly picked and each added charm to the home. The rooms were cozy and all had wonderful views. We almost didn’t even notice the weather was gloomy the few days we were there because of how much we enjoyed the home itself. I can only imagine when it’s sunny and warm! Thank you for everything Andrea. We definitely plan to come back!

Francesco was the perfect host very communicative and responsive when needed - the unit was spotless and nice decor - loved being in the little town walking to the 3 lively restaurants, grocery and coffee shop not to mention the fabulous vineyards that surrounded the flat - we did some wonderful walks and did side trips to cute little towns - Would recommend highly

Antonella's house was a perfect vacation spot for us. to start I must say that the pictures do not do justice to the place, being located on the hilltop, providing suggestive view in all directions. the kitchen was well equiped, the rooms were big and comfy, board games in the living room and a ball to play outside. but all this is nothing compared to the charming hospitality of Antonella and ulli that sheard products from their garden with us welcoming us with wine and cheese Thay make on the farm. this place is a jem of a vacation for kids as well. the location was also very good, 20 min from Orvieto with plenty of dining options supermarkets and we also found a lovely bakery down hill in chiconia. most recommend especially if you like the idea of airbnb being hosted by the owner who really cares for his guests.

The stone house is really cute and has everything you need. The hosts thought of many details and items to make it comfy and home-like. There are lots of places to sit in the garden, also in the cool shade. We were able to enjoy mulberries and cherries from the trees. Simona was very friendly and helpful in multiple ways, and we met her once in Orvieto where she helped us find a good parking spot. One small thing is that if you like to cook a lot, the kitchen is a bit cramped. But it worked for us anyway, and we really appreciated the hosts excellent olive oil in the cabinet along with all other cooking supplies. Everything in the apartment created a great atmosphere for us to relax, and it is a short drive to Orvieto while being in the peaceful, lovely countryside. The book collection is fun too!
