"The appartment is comfortable and spacious with fantastic views over the Parco Originale di Monte Cucco. Fossato di Vico is a lovely medieval village perfectly placed for visitng Umbria and Le Marche. The owner could not have been kinder or more helpful".
"Tha apartment was very clean, well presented, well equiped, has lovely furniture and great views over the roof tops to the valley below. While it will sleep four it is best suited to two people. The medievil village is lovely but you have to drive to the valley to shop and to find a place to eat. We found it to be a convenient base from which to drive to Assisi, Perugia, Gubbio etc The owners live close by and were very friendly and helpful in lots of ways including when our mobile phone failed to work and we neede to contact home."
"Logement bien meublé et confortable ou on se sent comme à la maison, très propre et aussi très calme. Le propriétaire est toujours disponible pour aider ou nous donner de l''information, ce qui est très appréciable. Si il n''y a plus de place pour se stationner devant l''appartement, il faut se stationner à l''entrée du village, qui est environ 1 à 2 minutes de marche. Les gens du village sont amicaux, surtout les propriétaires du café à l''entrée du village. La vue de l''appartement est splendide."
"Très bon séjour. Appartement vaste dans une demeure ancienne très bien située au coeur du village médiéval et à deux pas du mont Cucco. Propriétaire amical et disponible. Si vous parlez italien, n''hésitez-pas à cotoyer les gens du village car ils sont très amicaux."
"Nous avons apprécié l''accueil chaleureux de Franco Manni, et les beaux couchers de soleil depuis l''appartement sur les hauteurs de Fossato. Tout était impeccable. Nous avons passé une semaine magnifique, à la découvertes des richesses culturelles et naturelles des alentours. Une très bonne adresse!"
