Villa Rosaspina was our home for five weeks in the fall of 2022. It is is located on a beautiful ridge with a view of Todi. Like many Umbrian homes with a view, you follow a typical, and rather steep "strada bianca" (white gravel road). The villa is exactly as pictured. Nestled in a grassy knoll surrounded by gardens and trees. The well maintained pool is just steps from the kitchen, and offers perhaps the best view point of the property.
The villa is peaceful, with only the occasional dog barking in the distance, or owls hooting at night. The space was clean and well kept. The kitchen is typical of Umbrian kitchen spaces, perhaps a bit small however I was able to cook for seven people for an entire week without much difficulty. I did bring a few of my favourite cooking implements.
Rosa, our host was kind and gracious. She provided wonderful ideas for restaurants, hikes, road biking routes and food shopping. She was very quick to help us when we needed it. As an example, when we popped a car tire on our way to a hike, Rosa was quick to suggest a tire repair service which worked out beautifully.
We biked nearly every day, but found it helpful to bring a bike rack as the access road is extremely steep and has loose gravel. Bikers will love Umbria for the terrific climbing. "Everything good is at the top of a hill". As Canadians we were surprised there was no local taxi /uber service, so we had to take turns being the designated driver after dinners out. Where normally we would just cab or Uber it.
Our extended stay was very successful. I would recommend Villa Rosaspina.
