House in Macerino in the green Umbrian hills

IL BELVEDERE is a holiday home located in the small medieval village of Macerino di Acquasparta, 700 meters above sea level. It is the ideal place to spend a relaxing holiday for those seeking the tranquility and originality of a small Umbrian village.
The house has been pleasantly and carefully restored and is carefully furnished with great attention to the choice of furniture and details. It is very comfortable with large and bright rooms (total area: 140 square meters) and for its floor plan it can accommodate 2 different families simultaneously. The living room is the center of the house (50 m2): with fireplace and satellite TV, kitchenette equipped for self catering, dinning area and sofa area. On the right there is a large bedroom
with double bed, a single bed (if necessary), sofa corner and a wonderful bathroom.
On the left there are two bedrooms: one with a double bed, sofa corner and dressing area; the other bedroom has two single beds but can become a double bed if necessary.
(Note: through the latter you have access to the master bedroom); there is a large bathroom, for both bedrooms, with tub / shower, bidet and washing machine.
Free wi-fi connection is available in the house.
Three mountain bikes are available for excursions in the surrounding countryside. The house has a private courtyard with table, chairs and deck chairs, for outdoor dining and sunbathing.
It is customary to offer a homemade cake and a bottle of Umbrian wine as a welcome gift. Visits to the cellars of Montefalco can be organized for the tasting of its wines appreciated all over the world.
The small village of Macerino is 12 km from Acquasparta, 15 km from Spoleto, 30 km from Todi, 50 km from Orvieto, 50 km from Assisi, 70 km from Perugia and 100 km from Rome. You can also quickly reach many smaller towns, rich in art and history, such as: Sangemini, Narni, Amelia, Spello, Deruta, Montefalco (famous for the autochthonous wine Sagrantino). The Roman archaeological site of Carsulae (3rd century BC) can be reached in 20 minutes and the Marmore waterfall is 30 minutes away.
Macerino is immersed in the green Umbrian hills where you can take relaxing walks in contact with nature. There are three restaurants in the immediate vicinity where you can enjoy authentic Umbrian dishes. There is a swimming pool open to the public with a paid entrance (300 meters from the house).
NB: The rental price includes linen for bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen and final cleaning; it does not include LPG gas for heating in the winter period which must be paid separately based on consumption.

Idyllic stay in the Umbrian hills
We arrived in Macerino after our drive from Rome to be greeted by our hosts Maria and Franco in the square of the village. They warmly welcomed us and showed us to the property which was around the corner from the square. We immediately recognised it from the photos. They escorted us inside to reveal a welcoming bottle of Montefalco wine and a delicious looking blueberry tart. The property was everything we could ask for. Immaculately clean, very well furnished and very spacious. Everything we could need was provided, especially in the kitchen which pleased my wife who enjoys cooking. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in a splendid property in an ideal, peaceful country location. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed exploring the locality and our visits to well known places in Umbria. Audrey & David, Washington UK

Casa finemente ristrutturata in una perla di villaggio umbro
Abbiamo passato sette giorni meravigliosi in questa casa in un paese che è una piccola gemma della collina umbra. Tutto il paese è stato finemente ristrutturato mantenendo lo spirito originario. La casa è veramente bella e ci siamo sentiti bene accolti dai proprietari che ci hanno coccolato con assaggi di vino ed olio locali. Se volete vivere una esperienza in un autentico e incantevole borgo umbro non esitate a prenotare qui.

Explore and Relax
Looked for a location in Umbria that would allow us to explore communities within the region such as Assisi, Cortona, Spello, Narni, etc. and also to relax and enjoy the countryside. Also wanted a space with "character". This property provided everything. In addition Maria and Franco were very helpful in setteling us in and feeling comfortable. An added bonus is an excellent restaurant almost right next door. In exploring the area we used both the local country roads which are very picturesque as well as the E45. The final approach to the property ( about 20 minutes) is a country dirt road which might at first be off putting but is no big deal. We generally approached the property from Aquasparta heading to Portaria then on to Macherino. About a half hour drive. Highly recommended property and hope to return.

This property is Extremely Beautiful and so very very well maintained and clean. Our host and hostess greeted us with a bottle of wine and a berry tort, delicious. The surrounding area is so very peaceful and beautiful. We were there for 1 week and totally enjoyed our selves. The home itself is very well equipped with whatever one would need. I could tell that attention to detail was the owners goal. Very lovely people and very lovely home.

Authentic Italian holiday apartment in remote hilltop village
We stayed here as 2 couples with babies. The apartment is well equipped and laid out, and 2 cots and high chairs were provided for us. The freshly baked tart and bottle of wine on our arrival was much appreciated! Maria and her husband were always contactable and very welcoming and helpful. The village was small and quiet, perfect to get away from it all. It has a public pool 10 minutes walk from the apartment, which we could pay for entry by the day or at a weekly discount price. The village was remote, ending in 5km of gravel track, but this was easily done in our hire car. It was only a 20 minute drive to a large supermarket. In the village, there were 2 excellent local restaurants, which we very much enjoyed eating at more than once - perfect local Italian food! We also enjoyed a day trip to Rome, easily done by driving to the nearby station in Spoleto. We thank Maria and Franco very much for a wonderful holiday, a perfect example of Italian life!

Magnifique séjour dans une très belle maison
La maison que nous avons louée est située dans un petit village médiéval de moyenne montagne, accessible par trois petites routes étroites. L'environnement est magnifique, la tranquillité assurée. Les propriétaires sont charmants et très arrangeants. La maison est spacieuse et peut accueillir six personnes. Deux chambres sont dans le même alignement et disposent d'une salle de bain/toilettes ; la troisième chambre est à part et a sa propre salle de bains/toilettes. La maison est très bien équipée, et il ne nous a absolument rien manqué. La maison est située à proximité de plusieurs villes remarquables : Narni, Orte, Spolète, Todi...

Vacanze in paradiso
È buono poter trascorrere una vacanza in una casa vacanze in cui ci si sente a proprio agio come è successo a noi per due settimane. Questa casa a Macerino, un piccolo e idilliaco villaggio di montagna, ha soddisfatto tutti i nostri desideri. Chi non disturba la strada un po’ dissestata per raggiungere Macerino troverà il paradiso! Non per niente la casa si trova sulla Via del Paradiso. Abbiamo soggiornato in una casa spaziosa, arredata con tanto gusto a cui non mancava nulla. Si è pensato ad ogni minimo dettaglio. I padroni di casa, gentilissimi, ci hanno accolto con torta e vino fatti in casa, ci hanno dato buoni consigli per il nostro soggiorno e non hanno lasciato nient'altro da desiderare... Un caminetto offre ore di intimità la sera. La casa e la zona sono meravigliose anche per i bambini. La zona è ricca di tesori storici e culturali, che possono essere facilmente raggiunti da qui. Abbiamo fatto escursioni ad Assisi, Todi, Perugia, Orvieto, Spoleto, Montefalco, Spello, Corciano, Ferentillo. Abbiamo seguito le tracce dei Romani a Carsulae e siamo rimasti colpiti dalla Cascata delle Marmore e dagli alberi mummificati di Dunarobba. La vacanza sarebbe potuta durare ancora di più. Grazie mille per l'ospitalità!!! Torneremo volentieri. Karl e famiglia

Una vacanza incantevole
Sin dall'inizio siamo stati piacevolmente colpiti dalla bellezza del piccolo borgo, ma quando siamo entrati nella proprietà, la bella sorpresa si è accresciuta di molto. Locali ampi, pulitissimi, luminosi e arredati con vero gusto. La casa è provvista di tutto il necessario e i proprietari sono stati veramente accoglienti e gentili. Non potevamo chiedere di più. Unico neo, la strada bianca da Portaria a Macerino. Ma ciò non è ostacolo al nostro desiderio di tornare quanto prima.

Im Naturparadies
Nach einer holprigen Fahrt durch die Berge über einen unasphaltierten Waldweg glaubten wir schon uns verirrt zu haben, aber dann kamen wir in ein Paradies, ins urige Bergdorf Macerino hoch oben im Castello. Wir fanden eine großzügige Ferienwohnung vor, geschmackvoll eingerichtet passend zum historischen Ambiente, wurden herzlich empfangen mit selbstgebackenem Kuchen. Wir machten herrliche Wanderungen durch die umbrischen Berge auf den Spuren des heiligen Franziskus, besuchten Assisi, Spoleto, Montefalco und Todi, genossen italienisches Essen und Kultur. Es war ein ganz besonderer Urlaub! Ideal für Naturliebhaber, die die Ruhe suchen und gerne wandern. Der beschwerliche Weg dorthin mag einige abschrecken, vielleicht bleibt dadurch Macerino noch lange ein Geheimtipp für Liebhaber. Wir haben uns dort in der liebevoll eingerichteteten Wohnung unserer Gastgeber Franco und Maria sehr wohl gefühlt. Maria Schmitz und Freunde

Prachtig appartement in een middeleeuws bergdorp
We worden hartelijk welkom geheten door onze gastheer Franco, die ons een rondleiding door het huis geeft. Binnen staat een fles wijn en een taart op ons te wachten. Macerino is een uniek bergdorp gesitueerd in de groene heuvels van Umbrie. Macerino House is een ruim en koel appartement, smaakvol en comfortabel ingericht. De ruime kamers zien er spic & span uit en de keuken is goed uitgerust. Jammer dat de halfronde doucheruimte zo klein is, je kunt er nauwelijks in bewegen. Dit fenomeen kom je in veel Zuid-Europese landen tegen, maar de gemiddelde Nederlander is daar niet aan gewend. De centrale verwarming is niet bij de prijs inbegrepen en kost 4 euro per kubieke meter. Dat zie je pas als je op "bijzonderheden" klikt van de Home Away website. Macerino telt slechts een tiental huizen en het is echt een ervaring daar te verblijven. Jammer genoeg zijn de paar wegen die naar het appartement leiden nogal slecht onderhouden, het vereist wat stuurmanskunst om de kuilen en stenen te ontwijken. Een snelheid van 5 km per uur is het maximaal haalbare. Vanaf Aquasparta is het slechts 15 km, daar doe je 40 minuten over. Voor gasten die elke dag de omgeving willen verkennen, is dit wel een uitdaging. Gelukkig hadden we vooraf een goede routebeschrijving van Franco ontvangen. Als je van mountain biken houdt, dan kun je hier je hart ophalen. Er zijn twee mountain bikes beschikbaar. Het landschap rondom Macerino is schitterend. De binnenplaats bij het appartement is niet groot, tot 13 uur kun je in de schaduw zitten, daarna is het heel zonnig en warm, er is geen parasol aanwezig. Het huis is geschikt voor mensen die zowel van rust als van avontuur houden.

We were in Macerino at the end of July and it was a real pleasant stay. Charming house with outstanding view point. Special mention for the remarquable courtesy of the homeowners together with the beautiful interior design. Please trust the advices of the owner and not your GPS when travelling around. He does know the shortest ways ! Pierre-François.
