The winding roads to Fratticola Selavatica was the start of a wonderful exciting adventure . For us being from Holland, it was a worth while treat! With the help of Anna, we found ourselves taken to a steep downward road, that led to the most breathtaking views. The converted farmhouse is beautifully restored. Tanya and Xavior very gracious hosts!

We were a group of 8, five adults and 3 teenagers . We had two suites. From the moment we came, we were enamored with the serenity and beauty of our surroundings and view. The lovely salt water infinity pool was a soothing and refreshing welcome from the hot climate. We spent much our time at the pool.

Tanya and Xavior had a vision when they restored and created this place. Of course one could nick pick a couple of the minor details that comes when renting a holiday home, however they are new to the game and with every guest they will be very seasoned with what family's with kids or teenagers needs are.

We were fortunate enough to be there for their annual barbecue for the amazing people who helped them create their home. Thank you for including us! We all had such a wonderful time.

Definatly a car is needed! The location is perfect point to explore Umbria. Cannot tell you how interesting and charming the landscape and surrounding city's are. Tanya suggested one of their favorite places to eat that is not to far from the house. It is called L' Osteria Del Bosco. What a treat!! One of the best meals we had during our two week stay. Highly recommend ! Another spot was in Spoleto, it is called Casina Dell Ippocasiano / cafe bistro. It offered one of the best menus for our vegetarian companion . Tanya and Xavior, much thanks, our hellos to Alex and Chris. We will definatly pass the word about your beautiful serene place. Susanne and I would like to extend an invitation to both. If your ever out, our way! From the whole gang/ Hauge and SF,

Thanks again, incredible two weeks!!
