General Overview
Our home is a beautifully restored historic house in the heart of a lovely Umbrian hill town, Monteleone d’Orvieto. There is lots to explore in the area, we are right on the Tuscan border. Monteleone d’Orvieto is about a 2 hour drive from either Rome or Florence.
The Space
Our home has all the modern conveniences but also rustic Italian charm. We have 2 large bedrooms upstairs (1 en suite). The beds are comfortable and the water pressure is excellent. The main floor is a living room, dining room and modern kitchen. The ground floor is an extra room with 2 folding beds, perfect for kids. The ground floor also has a utility room and half bathroom.
Guest Access
Our house is 3 floors with stone stairs so probably not very good for someone with mobility issues.
Notes
We don’t have air conditioning, but several fans and all the windows have pull down screens. We don’t have cable, but have excellent WiFi with a Apple TV box, so you can access Netflix, Amazon, etc.
We have lots of guidebooks about the area and there is so much to see nearby.
We ask that you pay the house cleaner upon your departure. The cost is €60.

Neighbourhood
Monteleone is a small Umbrian Hill town. We have an excellent restaurant, Seven Cafe. They also rent bicycles and can arrange truffle hunting expeditions with their dogs. We can also arrange an Italian cooking class in the house if you like.
The town also has a butcher, post office, small grocery store, gas station, pharmacy, coffee shop, bar and a hair salon.
There are also seafood and fresh vegetable trucks that come through town a few times a week. Everyone is really friendly!
Getting to my home
If arriving by car, we are very close to the A1 freeway, exit at Fabro. Nearest train stations are Fabro and Chiusi.
Nearest airport
Rome Fumicino or Perugia
Getting Around
You can walk to everything in the town, but to really see the area you will need a car.
The closest train station is in Chiusi, about a 20 minute drive away. You can get trains to everywhere in Italy from there.

Where to begin… Anne and Gregor are kind, generous, and the sweetest people. Their home in Monteleone d’Orvieto is amazing. Idyllic, charming, incredibly comfortable and very well done. The town is the quintessential small Italian village on a hill with stunning panoramic views. The area has so much to offer and is centrally located between Rome, Florence, Tuscany, and Umbria. We could not have asked for a better exchange or for better exchange partners. -
Well, we have fallen in love with both Casa Rosa and Monteleone D'Orvieto! Everything was perfect. Anne was so easy to communicate with, responding quickly. We explored many wonderful places and certainly ate well. We thank you so kindly for sharing your special place with us! Aloha, Karen and Victor -
We had a wonderful time at Anne and Gregor’s beautiful home. They gave us lots of great tips about the area and the house in a video chat and were always available for questions. We also met friends of theirs who live nearby. The Christmas decorations and live nativity are a special treat during the holiday season. We’re looking forward to Anne and Gregor’s visit at our place in Portugal. It’s a great location very close to Tuscany and makes for great sightseeing in Tuscany and Umbria. -
Anne and Gregor are wonderful exchange partners. Despite not having the pleasure of meeting them when they visited St. Thomas this past February, I feel like we were staying at our friend's home. Their communication was open, responsive, friendly and warm. We continue to navigate a personal health situation and they couldn't have been more supportive, understanding and flexible. The home itself it so lovely. It's a wonderful mix of old, historic Italy with modern design features. As someone who loves to cook, I really appreciated that the kitchen had everything, and I mean everything, to make great meals. As they also have a home in North Carolina in the US; this is the first international exchange for us that had some of the kitchen tools seen in American homes, like measuring cups and spoons. Seems so inconsequential, but it meant so much for this non baker to be able make a hazelnut, chocolate cake! The bed was super comfortable, as was the oversized sofa in the living room. It is a beautiful, warm home in a peaceful and special small town and we hope to return someday. -
Anne and Gregor were fantastic in the run up to us coming to Italy. It was lovely to chat to Anne ahead of the exchange and to get some brilliant recommendations from her. We had a wonderful time in Monteleone and really enjoyed living like a local; drinking espresso multiple times a day and working our way through all of Umbria's gelato shops! The flat is very tastefully decorated and a great base for exploring the local towns and cities. I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in central Italy's culture, cuisine and community. :) -
We absolutely loved our time at Anne and Gregor's gorgeous home in Monteleone d'Orvieto! Being able to stay in a beautiful medieval hilltop village in Umbria was a very special experience and we would love to return one day. ❤️ Communication with Anne was fabulous, she was always prompt and gave us so many useful recommendations; actually too many for just one visit and we couldn't get around them all! It was wonderful to be in such a comfortable house (loved the bed!) and the highlight for us was being able to source local ingredients to cook together in a well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed some delicious meals on the juliet balcony overlooking the piazza. The neighbours were friendly but you need to brush up on your Italian since little English is spoken here, fair enough! Monteleone was well located to explore other places in Umbria and Tuscany. We loved the scenery, the food and the people, so all in all it was a great exchange, thank you!! 🤗🙏🙏🙏 -
We had the most amazing stay in Anne & Gregor’s beautiful home. Monteleone d’Orvieto is a fairy tale medieval village and their home is situated in the heart of the village. It has been lovingly renovated whilst keeping the original charm. We fell in love! It was a great base for exploring both Umbria and Tuscany and an easy drive to Rome. We can’t recommend this home enough! Anne was very helpful with suggestions, before and during the trip. You will not find better hosts! The home was everything we’d hoped for and more, and anyone who is fortunate enough to stay here will be very very happy!
