Villa Fiori is wonderful. Relaxing. Something in every corner catches your eye. The quiet seeps into your bones. The most extraordinary thing of all was the play of light and shadow on the distant farmland and hillsides. I want to go back on my very next fishing trip in Italy!

What a great vacation I had with my husband at Villa Fiori! It was like being part of a wonderful Old World painting. Perfume soap. Tiny olive oil bottle. Cupids on coasters.  A view of the mountains from our room. Sweet ambiance. The smell of nature. Wonderful host and hostess. Laughs, good wine, good food, art history and much more accompanied us on this memorable trip. I want to go back...yes!

If you have a hankering to experience the true, non-touristy Italy in a bucolic, old-world setting then Villa Fiori is the place for you. Just don’t make the mistake of only booking for one or two nights as you will end up kicking yourself. The place itself is a visual treasure and that extends to the accommodations, the grounds and gardens, and the stunning long range views. But add the warm, accommodating manner of your hosts and you have, not a “place” but a genuine Italian experience in its entirety. Speaking of your hosts, if you’re interested in Italian history, art and cuisine, you’ve hit pay dirt. Claudio claims he’s “always the last to leave a museum” and his subject matter expertise backs it up in spades. As you can probably tell, my wife and I were enthralled by Villa Fiori and would heartily recommend it to anyone.

Photos are amazingly beautiful! While I am excited to be visiting in October, your site has definitely enticed me to want to visit again in Spring to take in the glorious sites and food!

My sister and I had a delightful vacation with Claudio and Naomi’s planning. Villa Fiori was our home base, which was in itself a wonderful place to enjoy rest and beauty. The vistas from their house are tremendous—with hills, mountains, and clouds in all different formations. Their care of the grounds—with an olive grove, roses, herbs, and lovely sitting areas—all adds to the charm. And the beds in their guests' quarters were the very best! The cities we visited with their help, some of the lesser-known, each had beautiful revelations of early Italian art, history, and architecture—and with fewer tourists! Claudio’s knowledge of the geography and history of Italy added many layers of interest and helpful information. We highly recommend Villa Fiori as a place to stay to soak up Italy’s atmosphere and to plan a trip.
