Our stay was amazing! The view is incredible and we enjoyed the pool on the hot days. I enjoyed sitting outside on the patio most days and getting some work done while having my coffee. The property was just beautiful! You can see down into town and the rolling hills which have olive trees growing all over. Mattia was also very welcoming and answered all of our questions. I stayed in the North bedroom and it was perfect! A very roomy space for us to enjoy our week. We also were very appreciative of having our own bathroom so that not everyone had to share. The kitchen was beautiful and had lots of space for our many groceries. We had 18 people staying in the house and the cabin off the side at one point and we were able to fit everyone in the house comfortably for meals and family time. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend it for everyone — very accommodating and beautiful!

We had a great stay in beautiful and relaxing surroundings. It was a perfect place for our large family, with members ranging from 0 to 83 years old. Our host, Mattia, was very helpful and provided us with recommendations for restaurants, wine tastings, and other activities that enhanced our experience.

L'Eliantemo is a magical place. It is by far one of the most authentic, peaceful and beautiful places I have stayed at in a long time. It is impeccably kept, clean & rustic. It was the perfect setting for a month long yoga teacher training retreat. The vast setting offers many areas to rest, eat or work in and the atmosphere was welcoming and super accommodating. Felt like home, but better. I highly recommend this unique & compelling location for anyone looking to get away or to lead a retreat/ training. Simple and natural, it is THE hidden gem of Umbria.

I hosted a four-week yoga teacher training followed by a one-week yoga retreat at Eliantemo. Mattia is an incredibly kind and hospitable host who lovingly tends the villa and its grounds. Preparing to bring two groups of approx. 15 Americans each to Umbria in a 5-week period is not for the faint of heart, and I honestly couldn't have done it without Mattia's help. He helped with arranging transportation, both long-distance and local, he recommended a caterer, he recommended local excursions - the list goes on and on of the ways in which he was remarkably helpful and patient all along the way. Eliantemo is indeed a gem in Umbria, with lofted bedrooms, a cozy cottage, and an impeccably maintained pool. Big thanks again to Mattia for everything! Amore e yoga, Kristi from Thrive Yoga Manette

It is hard to find enough nice things to say about our recent visit to Mattia's villa. I took 12 students from the US to stay for 4 days while on a school trip and the villa was the absolute PERFECT fit for our needs. The ample, spacious bedrooms made the students feel at home. The large kitchen and dining area allowed us to make and share meals together. The comfortable and spacious living room area gave us a space to relax after long days exploring Umbria. Best of all, Mattia's AMAZING yoga studio gave the students a home base for the series of theatre workshops we lead during our stay. It was truly the ideal spot for us. I love Umbria and the villa looks over the beautiful city of Spoleto. We spent lots of times exploring shops and restaurants in Spoleto and found the villa a perfect spot for day excursions out to the incredible city of Perugia and to experience the majesty of Cascata delle Marmore in Terni. I am sincerely looking at opportunities to return to this villa as soon as possible. It is an amazing place and Mattia is a kind a generous host. He looked after our every need and worked very closely with me for months to help plan our stay. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
