Lovely villa in a fantastic location
We’ve just had a lovely 2 weeks at this villa - we were a group of 7 and it felt spacious with room to spare. Communication with the owner prior to and during the stay was fantastic - nothing was too much trouble. The information pack in the villa contained lots of helpful information and ideas for day trips etc. The villa was clean and well equipped - the pool table was a big hit!! There were also lots of board games, DVDs and books, although we spent most of our time outside enjoying the various seating areas dotted around the garden. The pool is absolutely fantastic, bigger than your average private pool, with lots of poolside seating and the most beautiful views. Castelplanio is a lovely hilltop village with local shop and pizzerias. We would thoroughly recommend as a base from which to explore this region of Italy.

Superb Italian stay
We spent two weeks at Villa Staffieri as a group of two families (with kids aged 8 and 6). The house and and the view are just spectacular and so restorative. We spent most days playing in the lovely pool and enjoying the bakery, cafe and amazing pizzeria up the hill in the village. Simon could not have been more helpful with great tips for the drive, running routes whilst we were there and brilliant recommendations for days out. We just had the best time. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful house with us. We hope to come back one day.

Simply The Best
This review won’t be long enough to really express how amazing our stay was. Firstly Simon (the Villa owner) absolutely made our holiday. His communication from the start was brilliant, timely and very informative. When we were there he helped us with his local knowledge and was always willing to assist which really helped make us the most of our trip. The Villa is fantastic with so much outdoor space and in the middle of no where and views to die for!! There was 8 of us and the Villa had ample room for us all inside as well. The location is brilliant but you do need a car to explore the area or some good walking shoes!! The local restaurants are very traditional and offer excellent value and lovely food. Make sure you go to the bakery in the village as it is lovely and became our morning ritual! Overall this Villa is fantastic and we will go back! But the best part is Simon and how well he looks after you and ensures you have a great stay, he really does care and goes above and beyond like no other owner we have ever dealt with. Don’t hesitate, book!!!

Wonderful villa with great view and pool!
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Staffieri. The house was very comfortable for two families (4 adults & 4 children). The outdoor space was great with a beautiful view! Lovely seating areas to enjoy meals and relax with great company. The pool was awesome; great size and enjoyed by all! The check-in and check-out process was quick and easy. Rosa is very friendly and was quick to reply to our text messages. Simon was also very prompt at responding to any of our messages. We all really enjoyed our stay!!!

Wonderful family holiday
The property was tranquil and really well appointed. Fully stocked with everything you could ever need and more. Pool, location and view were to die for. The photos are great but do not do it justice. Local pizza restaurant is perfect for little ones. You will not regret staying here. One word of warning - the local area does have a lot of mosquitoes, so bring spray!

Beautiful villa, beautiful location
We had a fantastic stay. Simon was very helpful before we arrived, as was Rosa in meeting us on the day, and with food. The house/gardens/pool were clean, spacious and if anything even better than the photos. The beds are comfy, showers great, kitchen incredibly well-equipped. Castelplanio itself is a lovely village with a bakery and pizzeria within five minutes' walk of the villa, yet it feels completely quiet and feels 'off road'. We searched for a while for somewhere like this and it completely lived up to billing. Hard to ask for anything more - pretty much perfect. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful property and stunning location
We recently returned from a 2 week family holiday. The property is very comfortable, well appointed and equipped. Simon, the owner, responded very promptly to all queries during the booking process. The property, from the pool, overlooks rolling hills with views of vineyards and a hill top village - the views are stunning. The surrounding area is beautiful and largely undiscovered by foreign tourists (even in August) despite the fact there is lots to do for children and adults alike. We would highly recommend.

Great house, great location, very relaxing place to stay.
We were a group of 4 couples, so the layout of the house was perfect for us. The pool is a great size and good depth throughout. The house had pretty much everything we needed for eating in with a well equipped kitchen and a good sized barbecue. The views from the pool area are stunning, looking across a valley to hilltop villages. There is an excellent pizzeria just up the hill and supermarkets nearby. There are other good restaurants within a short drive of the house. All in all a beautiful and relaxing place to stay. For the wine lovers there is a lovely vineyard just down the hill from the house.
