Castillo de Guaiche
Quirky property, Castle divided into numerous rental properties with large well tended garden and great views of the Umbrian countryside. You definitely need a car if staying here unless your sole purpose here is walking!
The road up is very steep with lots of bends, don’t let that put you off though, it’s well worth it when you arrive. Pool is excellent with lots of sun beds and always quiet during our stay, 300m walk and toilets provided too!
The accommodation is acceptably clean but attention is needed in some areas outside and inside. Generally in a good condition but it’s an older property so make allowances for that in that everything works in its own way (shower is a little hit and miss). The property is great for a couple and two kids, one good double and a room with two singles, however one single is raised on a platform so not suitable for a much younger child in my opinion. Windows have blinds but both rooms would benefit by having ceiling fans too as can be very hot.
Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils etc but no dinner plates or large tumblers in the cupboard! We bought cheap dinner plates, they may still be there! The kitchen has a large fridge which was great.
We loved our stay here, it really is a beautiful part of Umbria and we would return and stay here again, very relaxing!
