Il Ghiottone Umbro

The best kept secret in Umbria.

The location was perfect for visiting Todi, it's right at the edge of the walled city, so it's a quick walk or free shuttle bus ride into the center of town. The breakfast was fabulous, and the view is breathtaking.

The property is unique and very lovely. The interior decor, linen, landscape, and home made breakfast was all amazing. Thomas and Lisa were wonderful hosts. Lisa is an exceptional chef. Quite creative with tasty and healthy meals. The location was excellent. A three minute walk to the free bus shuttle into Todi or you can walk into town within 15 minutes. Our party of four stayed for five nights and it was a perfect location for day trips.

Amazing hosts, lovely food. Good vibes for the whole duration. Thanks guys!

Pillow and duvet wasn't the most comfortable, but everything else was perfect. Would definitely visit again...with my own pillow

The breakfast terrace is simply stunning. The breakfast itself was really delicious (this facility is also a cooking school), but it is very rigidly staged. We told them that we just wanted the pastries and fruit (we don't eat a big breakfast), and they were a bit testy about us skipping some of the courses. The room decor is gorgeous, as are the property and views. Parking is a total breeze - the property is accessed from a free public lot next to a park. It is a quick walk uphill through the park into the very center of Todi. The rooms have A/C (not common in this area), which is great because Umbria was really, really hot this summer.

Our mattress was awful - thin, limp and lumpy. It felt like an ancient, worn-out summer camp cot. The villa has thick walls, and they don't have Wifi boosters in the rooms, so the Wifi is basically non-existent. If you want to make a call on Skype, it's audio only, and you have to sit right next to the window to get it to work.
