Nothing beats visiting the Italian countryside and having your own Castle as a home base. 3 Years later and my family still haven't stopped talking about what a lifetime experience our vacation to Umbria was.
If you are planning a trip to Italy - STAY HERE!!!

The first time we saw Todi Castle, perched on a beautiful hilltop, we fell in love with the place and knew that it was the perfect setting for our wedding.
From the moment we arrived with our friends and family, Mario and his staff were kind and helpful and made our entire stay a special and memorable one.
We couldn't have imagined a more moving wedding day.

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.
Mary & Ed Barnas, U.S.A.




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 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

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
