Villa Rosaspina is a stunning, peaceful location for a relaxing break. The description and photos are accurate, and all facilities were excellent and well maintained. It is perfect for 2 families with young children, or for 4 couples. It was close enough to visit nearby towns, but the villa and pool is so lovely you may not stray far. The pool is slightly away from the house which worked well with young children from a safety perspective, and ensured quiet siesta time for those not swimming. The owner was very helpful and provided good recommendations for restaurants etc. The house was serviced twice during the week, and the owner’s daughter cooked us a lovely meal (highly recommended). Our only regret is that we were unable to stay longer. Highly recommended.

We recently stayed at Villa Rosaspina for a week, and the only problem was that we wished we could have stayed longer! The house is spacious and well laid out – we were 4 adults and 4 kids (4-7) – with a great outdoor eating area, a great view of the valley and a wonderful pool. Rosaspina is secluded without being remote, and only a 10minute drive to Todi and an easy drive to regional attractions. Bruno was a perfect host and I would highly recommend Rosaspina as a base for exploring Umbria and/or for a relaxing holiday.

This is a fabulous property–comfortable, well equipped, great location very helpful owner/manager. A gorgeous pool, impeccably kept. Magnificent flowers all around. Who could ask for more? It is all that the description says and more. I have rented many villas in Europe and this one is a star.
The location is terrific–Todi is a charming town, about a 15 minute drive. Ideally situated for day trips to Orvieto, Assisi, Perugia, Spoleto and more. I recommend this property with enthusiasm. We also recommend the in-home “welcome dinner” if it is available.

Dear Bruno and Monina
We are half way through our vacation and having a wonderful time.
The pool is fabulous and we love eating on the terrace.
Monina’s meal was a memory and I will try to replicate it at home.
The stay was fabulous. The pool + house a cherished memory and the food at Ristorante Umbria way awesome.

Amazingly secluded location. Very comfortable villa with all amenities. Superb pool and pool area. Views across wooded hills. The perfect place to relax and recharge. Bruno, the owner and our host, could not have been more welcoming, friendly and helpful. We felt at home within minutes and hated having to leave!

Thank you for your help during the week.
In case you had forgotten you live in a wonderful part of the world. The scenery is stunning, and local towns, particulary Todi, are clean and great to walk around.
People have always been friendly.
This is my first visit to Italy and everyone told me before I came how wonderful the country/food/wine/people are. They were right on all counts. I’ve had a fantastic week. Staying in Villa Rosaspina has been a big part of the enjojment.
Thanks to you all.

Dear Bruno,
After months of e-mail, we finally made it here! As you know, this trip was almost a year in its planning – every bit of it was wonderfull!
Todi was our favorite of the Umbrian tours and we will never forget our dinners at La Mulinella. Of course, returning to Villa Rosaspina was always wonderful – thank you for providing us with this wonderful retreat. And congratulations on being faithful to the original designs, to the environment ( organic & solar..yes!! ) as well.
Thank you for everything – and most of all for your smile & kindness!

Staying in Villa Rosaspina, we have had a great two weeks here exploring all the hill towns in and around Tuscany & Umbria. We both liked Umbria the best. We have enjoyed all the wines and the glorious food of the regions.
We would also like to thank Monina for kooking a memorial meal for the eigth of us, her kooking talent is second to none.
I shall miss my ryde up to Todi in the morning, for cappuccino & vanilla cake!
Ciao & arrivederci

Bruno and Giovanni,
Well what a marvellous place, the villa and pool were fantastic.
The local towns were very pretty, each in such different ways. The scenery was truly breathtaking, there is just so much to see and do. An absolutely perfect base for our travels, thanks for your advise. Altough at the end of our touring we could never wait to return to the villa and its cosy atmosphere. That was only when we could drag ourselves away in first place. We really enjoyed your friendly hospitality. The villa was perfectly private and secluded and the pool was always imaculate just ready for a dive in!
Our visit to Rosaspina is packed with memorable moments, including the memories of Annette encountering the wildlife (everyone in Todi will-know my name is “Dominic”).
The villa definitely has our recommendation and we look forward to returning in the not too distant future.

We had a most relaxing and wonderful vacation at Villa Rosaspina! While the house and the pool were as beautiful as pictured on the website, what can’t be pictured is the hospitality of the Bucci family and the fun of eating long breakfasts on the patio and long lunches at the pool, of going to the supermarket, and of sharing beautiful Todi and Umbria with family. We will never forget our two weeks at Villa Rosaspina.
With many thanks,

We will never forget the wonderful time we spent at Rosaspina. It was very special and you made it even more so with your hospitality and warmth. The afternoons playing in the pool with the children and the wonderful meal times looking over the valley were especially great.

Monina…
What wonderful memories we all have of our stay at your home … so much beauty and great axploration … our many visits to the “supermarket” were particularly humorous, althrough we were certainly improving.
We can not wait to have you visit us! Many thanks, Monina, for making our visit so special.
With love

Eight long-time friends from Atalanta, Georgia (U.S.A.) had a new adventure when we rented Villa Rosaspina from the delightful Bucci family. Thankfully, while surfing the internet we discovered this charming old farmhouse in an area we had never explored. The villa was furnished with everything we needed for comfort.
Arrivederci to the Bucci family, Umbria, Tuscany, and especially Todi. What precious memories we have!

It has been 60 days since we last hugged and I must say that I miss you, your daughter, your farm and all of Italy that we had the opportunity to touch. God has blessed Linda and I with so much abundance that we have had the pleasure of many fine trips and vacations. This trip was one of the best. Why ? The people- Italians are so warm and full of life that you have to love them. Following next, the beauty of the land and the culture created by Italians who came before you. Beauty is in the architecture as well as the art. Beauty is in all the Italian kitchens we ate from. Mamma mia, beauty is in all the Italian women and even their clothing and their style. I could continue, but this letter is to thank you and wish you and yours a rich and rewarding holiday season.
Linda and I are back in Seattle and settled in very comfortably. Back to American foods without the beautiful pastas, truffles, cheeses and wines we enjoyed so much for the time we were in Italy. Certainly we do still an occasional bottle of Chianti. The Italian wines compete with Washington and California wines and a few French, Spanish, Chilean and South African bottles.
Lastly, we tell as many people as will listen about our great trip and the terrific houses we rented.
GOOD LUCK… GOOD HEALTH… PROSPERITY…

What a wonderful and relaxing time our family had at Rosaspina. It was charming, private, and just what wee needed! A perfect “base camp” to explore beautiful Umbria…
Most of all, your cheery hospitality and Monina’s charm and great help created such an enjoable stay! Thank you!
