We couldn't have been happier with the flat and with Città della Pieve. What a fantastic town! We felt so comfortable here - and although we certainly enjoyed our side-adventures to Orvieto, Montepulciano, Montelcino, etc., we appreciated perhaps even more the opportunity to slow down, stay in town, and get to know its rhythms...You have done a fantastic job with this place -- the pictures online don't do it justice.

You folks have a Great Apartment!! We don't know how you found it, but it is a perfect location ……. beautiful view, easy access, wonderful village with two decent grocery stores and lots of great restaurants, a friendly active local community, and a really historic hill town that's not highlighted in tourist books……….plus your caretakers, Angela and Peppe, are jewels.
For us, we had a wonderful vacation taking off on day trips to Umbria and Tuscany, and other days taking in local events …….the Zaffron Festival was held while we were there, and we got to attend two free concerts at the historic theatre 50yds away …… plus after one of them we walked back with a lady (and husband) who claimed to have taught you how to make pasta!! She spoke no English and we speak no Italian, but we figured things out …… we think her name was Vella or Bella!!
Thanks so much for sharing your place.

We arrived back on the Outer Banks safely and soundly! Thank you SO much for sharing your beautiful apartment with us. We could not have been more pleased. Everything was grand! We were able to visit Assisi, Gubbio, Perugia, Montepulciano, San Gimignano and several other places. However, the most beautiful place of all was Citta della Pieve. I certainly understand why you have a place there. The view was to die for. We also followed most of the wine trail. We went to ALL of the restaurants you suggested. You are right; once you have a pizza in Italy - you will can never think the same of an American pizza...
We plan to return for our thirty-fifth anniversary in 2015. It was...by far the best vacation ever. I would not change a thing..about your villa or the village.

What a beautiful location. Città della Pieve was the perfect home base for our Italian adventures. We loved the comfort of the apartment, the beauty and friendliness of the town and the perfect central location. We day-tripped to Siena and Assisi. We did an overnight in Florence and we spent a cold and rainy day cozy in the apartment. Thank you for creating such a place. My daughter and I have created memories that will stay with us forever!! I hope to return dome day with my husband as my description will not do this beautiful location justice. With great appreciation!

We loved "C.D.P." -- the people, the festivities, the view, the central location (so we were able to visit so many other wonderful towns), and the lovely apartment which was always so nice to come home to. Thank you for letting us stay, we have so many wonderful memories to take home. I'll always remember Pieve as the one town we visited that I didn't scrape up the rental car 8-). Seriously, we had a wonderful time and have appreciated the hospitality of your friends.
