Todi Hotel Guide - Porta Catena hotels in Todi, Italy.

"Fabulous host and a picturesque property..loved every minute!"

"Where do I start? The property is gorgeous, in a great location on the edge of town, with beautiful olive grove surroundings, and with wonderful vistas over rolling countryside. It’s spacious and well-appointed, although the kitchen is quite small (but then again, Todi is full of good places to eat out). Large, well-equipped bathrooms, comfy beds, a swimming pool that I really SHOULD have used (and hey, I would have, but it WAS late October), and all sorts of places to sit outside – I imagine the gardens would be utter paradise in the summer. And then there is Adele, who is a cordial and welcoming superhost, with just the right touch – hands on but not intrusive in any way. She went into action within seconds when the toaster terminated its contract, and a new toaster appeared within minutes: she is a delightful force of nature. What else is there? Three friendly cats on the property, who all swear blindly that Adele doesn’t feed them enough (she does – cats lie a lot). A slightly scary drive in and out – yes, it is steep, and Google Streetview does not prepare you for the first time, although it gets progressively easier. Todi itself is very attractive, and is a great base for touring Central Umbria: Spello, Spoleto, Deruta, Assisi, Perugia, Montefalco, and Orvieto are all within striking distance. Strongly recommended! Many thanks, Adele, for the loan of the place for a week! "

"We loved everything about our stay. Todi is a picture perfect hill town with wonderful people and restaurants. The property was a short (but steep) walk to the main piazza where we had great meals and the best gelato just a short stroll down the main shopping road. We were so excited to stay in an 800 year old house. It is a special place and the back patio with its unbelievable view was peaceful and relaxing. We loved returning from our adventures every day to our little slice of heaven. What further sets the experience apart is George, who is the most amazing host we have ever encountered. He is a gem and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. He made a dinner reservation for us the first night and was always available to answer questions or make recommendations. George saved the day when my friend lost her wallet and passport in Assisi. We did not even realize it until the police called George who immediately contacted us and walked us through how to get to the police station to retrieve it. We were so grateful!George also turned us on to Stefano. Stefano took us from and to the airport and rented us a car. Before he brought us to the property that first day he took us to the grocery store (Emi) and helped us get groceries. Stefano showed us all the tricks to shopping like an Italian. We are huge Stefano fans!It was so hard leaving beautiful Umbria but we will be back again. We fell in love with Todi and the whole Green Heart of Italy. "
