Reviews of Casa Elea

Incredible building in Umbria

September 2025 - We enjoyed it very much, this building is incredible. We had a very pleasant stay with family ❤️

The house is just a 15-minute drive from shops and an incredible village. The lake is beautiful and the walks are magical.

Umbria is beautiful. We felt like we were out of time.

Excellent

August 2025 - Excellent.

Casa Elea is clearly an interesting and much loved traditional family home and not just a commercially furnished place to rent out to paying visitors.

We were living in real Umbria. Brilliantly accessible for interesting places but at night we returned to a proper house in the country. Wonderful. If it simply had a ceiling fan in the kitchen and an English kettle it would be heaven on earth (loved the garden gazebo).

Summer In Italy are brilliant. Human and very responsive. Stay as you are, you are not an anonymous agency and your people shine through very clearly. Thanks. Will use you again.

August 2024 - We had a wonderful stay at Casa Elea, it is a very charming house in a beautiful surrounding!

Perfect service!

Spacious stay for families

August 2024 - We stayed for a week with 4 families, including 5 children and 1 newborn.

The ground floor, in addition to the living room and lounge, had a double bedroom with a useful small bathroom next to it.

On the first floor, there were 3 double bedrooms and a room with two single beds with a nice bathroom.

In the attic, there was a double bedroom with a recently renovated beautiful bathroom.

August 2024 - Positives: We really enjoyed the house especially the gardens, pool and outdoor dining area. There are lots of shaded spaces around the house so you can stay out of the direct sun during the day. The house is conveniently located for touring.

Negatives: The living space could do with more seating for relaxing given that the house can accommodate up to 12 people. The house/kitchen block could do with new fridges. There was a lot of traffic on the road beside the house early in the morning and later around midnight.

July 2024 - We very much enjoyed our stay in Casa Elea. The peace and quiet of the location provided the desired tranquility and privacy after our hectic day trips.

The grounds are well kept and pleasing to the eyes. There was plenty of room for the party of 10 people to be comfortable. The common areas (the dining room/kitchen) are beautifully set up.

We were much worried about the absence of air conditioning. However, it was not needed. The temperature inside was very comfortable and at night with the windows open it was pleasantly cool.

The location of the villa is amazing - very close to everything (Orvieto, Siena, Montepulciano, Florence, Assisi, Rome, etc.)

We would highly recommend Casa Elea to anyone looking for their Tuscany/Umbria stay.

The staff of Summer in Italy was very helpful and friendly. Prompt responses to the emails and very informative. Everything was arranged efficiently and there were no "surprises". The villa was described accurately and the price was great. We'll definitely do it again!

June 2024 - We could not have been more pleased with Casa Elea. It was lovely, clean and well appointed.

The pool and grounds were very well maintained. And the view was amazing.

We found your home charming and want to thank you so much for being part of our wonderful experience in Italy.
