Thank you Mario for another magical vacation!
You know that every year since 2005 we keep bringing new friends with us to your Villa. And they all say the same thing: "How did you guys find paradise? It's unbelievable!" Our friends all think we're some kind of travel geniuses, but of course it's all you and your staff. Sabrina and her crew have always made us feel like family, and left us wanting for nothing. The Villa itself is beautiful, clean and warm. It has so much personality, it's as if it were a friend sharing our vacation with us.
For those of us who use the villa as a home base from which to explore Umbria, it's the perfect location. For others (like my wife and I) who prefer to relax, cook and enjoy the local hospitality, it's spectacular. We've travelled a lot, but have never found a more magical blend of the contemporary and old world charm.
We can't wait until the next time we open our bedroom window and admire the view of your valley. It takes our breath away.
best,

Dear Mario,
thank you so much for your efforts and kindness in organizing an unforgettable vacation for myself and my friends. We will remember you and your staff forever ! I will send you some of the pictures that I took of the incredible color of the foliage in the fall. We really enjoyed the wine and food experience and the atmosphere in from of the fireplaces. Your friend Lavinia.
The most beautiful thing about TodiCastle is that everything is unspoiled and real. When the staff provides you with their personal service or invite you to eat in the castle, they really mean it. Not touristic and unspoiled, I really enjoyed every aspect of my holiday.
Before I arrived at TodiCastle, I did not know exactly what to expect. When I arrived it exceeded every expectation I could have! Now, when I am back home, I realize what we had in TodiCastle. We had our own valley! When we woke up, we drank a cup of Italian coffee and enjoyed the scenery and talked about the delicious food, wines and limoncello we drank last night.
Next to all the typical Italian hospitality, service, wine and food, we visited several villages and cities. The locations which impressed me the most were Perugia, Assisi and Rome. The staff was very willing to recommend us restaurants and sight seeing spots every time we went on adventure in our rented car.
To conclude: This holiday impressed me and showed us the Italian lifestyle and culture, which I prefer more than my own.
Thank you for this experience.
Ciao e addio
Dear Mario,
This May I’ve had a very special and unique holiday experience at TodiCastle Estate with my friends. We stayed for a week and really had the chance to explore the area and learn all about Umbria and Italy. Also the truffle tour you arranged for us was a absolute unique experience. We enjoyed ourselves going to Rome, Perugia, Assisi and of course Todi and enjoying the surroundings of the villa. The staff was very helpful providing all we needed and the diner in the medieval banquet room was very nice as well!
Thank you and all your staff for this great holiday!
I hope to come back soon to experience the true Italian life again!
Thank you Mario and Sabrina for making our stay at Todi Castle an unforgettable experience. From the minute we arrived until the minute we left, we felt well looked after. The pool was a dream and our cooking lesson was not only entertaining but we walked away anxious to make pasta at home. We'll be back soon and recommend the Castle and villas to friends!
Thanks Sabrina, we had an unforgettable stay !
The food, the wine wines and the Hospitality were superlative.

Hi Mario,
Happy memories of our week at Todi Castle are etched in our minds. You offer a very unique, thoughtfully designed environment and we loved it all. We really noticed the efforts of your staff – the accommodation and pool area were always miraculously tidy and clean after the storm of our presence – special thanks to Ani. The week was always going to be the highlight of our trip, with the pleasure of reunion with good friends and the opportunity for the children to renew friendships however we also far preferred the excursions in Umbria (with the absence of summer crowds) to our subsequent week in Tuscany.
Thanks Mario
Dear Mario,
We have arrived home yesterday. Our stay at Todi Castle was a memorable experience. This is due to the natural beauty of the Castle and surrounds supported by the dedicated staff especially Luca who was an excellent host and always offered assistance when required.Thank you again
Dear Mario,
I want to thank you for the very nice time we spent at Pianesante, it was one of our best holidays in the last years. The house was very nice and comfortable, the swimming pool was so big we could have a real swim, the staff was nice and very helpful and most of all I loved the view from the terrace. Every day I hoped I was the first one to be awake, so I could sit outside and look at the different shades of grey of the hazy hills without anybody around to distract me with tea or talking.
And then I was very happy to see your work of art.After all, in a way we have been through a lot together, so I was very curious to see what's your deeper reason for living and what kind of artist you are.We liked what we saw (especially the colours and movement in the photographs.So there is but one conclusion: you succeeded completely in giving us the ultimate feeling of vacanza.
Dear Mario,
We had a fantastic time at Villa Pianesante. We made it home safely and feel a little sad that we are not still there. Thank you again for a wonderful anniversary dinner and for being so accomodating. We will have many happy memories.
Attached, please find a few photos. Thought you might enjoy them.
Until we met again, stay well.
