Sjarmerende middelalderske byhus med fantastisk utsikt i det historiske sentrum av Todi
Du finner La Gardenia i hjertet av Todi, en umbrisk ås som er berømt for sine pittoreske svingete gater og fantastisk utsikt. Det har blitt anbefalt av Lonely Planets Toscana / Umbria-utgave, og det er lett å se hvorfor. Dette er et sted hvor du føler deg hjemme umiddelbart, fordi leiligheten tilhører en italiensk, ikke en utlending som bruker den som en investering. Det har vært i familien i generasjoner, og eieren har personlig sørget for dekorasjonen. Resultatet er en eklektisk og harmonisk kombinasjon av dyrebare arvelater i familien og stilige samtidsstykker. På La Gardenia vil du bli ønsket velkommen som en reisende - til og med et familiemedlem - og aldri en anonym turist.
Leiligheten ligger i de to øverste etasjene i et tradisjonelt steinbygget hus fra middelalderen. Fordi huset er høyere enn de som omgir det, har hvert rom rikelig med lys hele dagen (mange slike hus kan være mørke og fuktige), og det er fantastisk utsikt over hustak, kirker og bymonumenter. Balkongen tilbyr frisk luft og en fredelig utsikt over åsene rundt.
First Floor har en formell stue med nydelige antikviteter fra 1800-tallet og 2 soverom (1 dobbeltseng og 1 enkeltseng) forbundet med et komplett bad. Begge soverommene har fin utsikt.
Second Floor har en spisestue med et bord for fire som fører ut til en balkong med vakker utsikt over åsene i sør og vest. Solnedgangene bak kuppelen til den berømte renessansekirken Tempio di Santa Maria della Consolazione er fantastiske. Det er et fullt utstyrt kjøkken åpent til spisestuen på den ene siden og en stue (med sovesofa) på den andre, og et enkelt soverom med halvt bad.
De smale gatene i Todi er vakre, men kan også by på parkeringsproblemer. Rett foran La Gardenia ligger en liten piazza hvor du stopper for å laste ut posene. Og bare noen få meter nedover veien er det ubegrenset sikker, gratis parkering.

På toppen af Todi
Super hyggeligt og med masser af plads. Ejer af lejlighed bor selv i byen og mødte os og gennemgik lejligheden og gav samtidig masser af god råd til spisesteder og ture. Lejligheden ligger meget roligt og med en fantastisk udsigt fra altanen.
The location cannot be beaten! If you want to experience the peacefulness and beauty of Tuscany, without the prices or over-tourism then this is your place. Carlo gave us great recommendations for dinner and what to do. We would not only come back, we would consider living here!
This apartment is spotlessly clean, spacious and comfortable with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside and the rooftops from almost every window. It has everything you would need, including a basic pantry. There is only 2 of us but we enjoyed the indulgence of having a bit more space to spread out.
Carlo was so helpful and approachable, always responding promptly to our questions. He gave us a tour of the old town, pointing out the sites and his favourite places to eat, while showing us where to park. He then helped us plan our day trips to the surrounding countryside.
Just a warning for those with mobility issues that this apartment has a lot of stairs and the town has some steep streets, as do most hilltop towns. Carlo helped us with our luggage so that was not a problem.
This was a very relaxing place to base our exploration of Umbria which we highly recommend.

Beautiful apartment with amazing views
If you are looking at the description of this apartment and wondering if it can possibly be as wonderful as it appears, the answer is a definite YES. This was a perfect home base for our week in Umbria in early May. Todi is one of the loveliest towns we visited in Umbria. The location of the apartment, an easy walk from public parking, was so convenient. The layout and decor of the apartment, on two floors, is delightful, with a light and airy feeling. Carlo has carefully provided everything to make staying here a pleasure. The bed is comfortable, the kitchen is charming, and I cannot even begin to adequately describe the amazing views from every room and especially from the balcony/terrace off the dining room. Coming "home" to this apartment each day was such a treat. Carlo was a perfect host. He handled arrival and departure seamlessly, at our convenience, welcomed us warmly and gave us a personal and information-packed introduction to the beautiful town of Todi. We hope to return in the future, and we would definitely stay here any time we're traveling in the area. Grazie mille, Carlo!

Perfect 😀
Just home from Carlo's apartment in Todi. The apartment is in an absolutely charming and friendly town in Umbria. The apartment is inside the old City wall a short distance from theCentral square . It is a beautiful apartment with lovely decor but the wow factor are the views...especially from the balcony. To top it off Carlo is a super host who gave us great recommendations for restraints and days out. We would highly recommend the apartment and the town of Todi for your trip to Umbria 😀

elegant and spacious townhouse in Todi
This beautiful townhouse is in a very old building on a quiet street in Todi, which is a perfect base for exploring Umbria. Carlo has renovated and decorated the apartment impeccably. It has much more space than we expected: two bedrooms, a formal salon with historical furniture, and a bathroom on one level, and a modern living room, dining room, large kitchen, half bath, and balcony on another level. The balcony does indeed have breathtaking views of church bells, rooftops, and the countryside beneath Todi. The main bed has a new and very comfortable mattress. The kitchen is well appointed, including a washing machine, and can accommodate full meals. The best feature is Carlo, who is enthusiastic, welcoming, and a gold mine of suggestions, maps, and guides. Highly recommended.

A perfect stay!
We stayed at the apartment La Gardenia in the beginning of April and it was a wonderful experience. The apartment was well situated in the historic centre of Todi with a free parking place quite near. The rooms were all very clean and nice, I especially liked the little kitchen. Among the best moments of our holiday in Italy was to sit on the balcony above the roofs, contemplating the incredible view over the mountains. Carlo was a very welcoming and attentive host. He also gave us advices of what to do and see in Todi. La Gardenia clearly deserves the highest points, I have already recommended it to friends.

Fantastic!
We absolutely loved staying in Carlo's apartment in Todi. The view is unbelievable (almost every window has an incredible view). We spent a lot of time on the balcony relaxing at the end of each day. Carlo is a perfect host. He really goes out of his way to make sure you are happy and comfortable in his home. When we booked the apartment, we thought that it might be too big since it is just for two of us. We never regretted our decision. It was such a treat to have some extra room to relax in. The location is perfect. We visited several of the medieval hill top towns in the region during our five night stay and we agreed that Todi is our favorite. So charming and a central location to so much to see and do in the area. We walked everywhere in Todi. There was no need for us to use our car once we returned from our many day trips. The highlight of our trip was a cooking class with La Lingua La Vita school. If you are looking for an authentic experience with an Italian family, we highly recommend doing this.

An Exquisite Experience in Umbria
My husband and I stayed at the apartment in mid November 2016. As you can see from the other reviews, this apartment is a wonderful place. Todi is a beautiful Medieval labyrinth and you feel as though you are living inside a fairy tale. The apartment is located on two floors. Below are 2 bedrooms (1 queen, 1 single), a full bath, as well as an amazing room filled with Carlo's family antique furniture and paintings. Upstairs is a another room which can be used as a bedroom, a living room, dining room, kitchen, and half bath. The 3rd floor also has an amazing balcony facing south overlooking the hills of Umbria. The view actually brought tears to my eyes. From there, you can see sunrise and sunset. The apartment is clean, comfortable, the beds are comfortable, the towels are plentiful and plush, the kitchen is charming and utilitarian, but most importantly, it is actually a home with interesting art and books. For us, the best part of renting the apartment was Carlo. Carlo is a talented photographer and his work hangs in the apartment. He is also a wonderful host. He keeps a book with all of his suggestions for restaurants, coffee, shops, and outings. He has travel books for use, and many maps for your use. Todi is centrally located to many other towns. With Carlo's help we could suggest an itinerary of Assisi one day, a second day to Civita Bagnorigio and Orvieto, and a third day to Bagnava, Spello and Montefalco (this direction has amazing rural landscapes of olive groves and vineyards). Carlo also suggested a cooking class at the School of Italian Language and Culture in Todi. You can contact them directly and they will make arrangements. The class was in a family's home in Todi, and it was a highlight of our trip. Umbria is amazing, Todi is amazing and the apartment is amazing. I have used VRBO and similar sites for many years, and I can give this apartment my highest recommendation. Thank you Carlo. We hope we can host you when you come to NY !

La Gardenia is excellent!
Carlo was a fantastic host meeting us over coffee and then helping us get moved into La Gardenia where we had fresh fruit, water, and coffee waiting for us. He gave us a tour of Todi, made many recommendations and even helped coordinate a cooking class.
La Gardenia has an amazing view, is spacious and beautifully decorated. It is very clean and well stocked. We had everything we needed!
We will return to La Gardenia!!

Terrific stay
My wife and I found this to a very nice apartment which met our expectations in every way. Location is great, right in the heart of Todi. Apartment was very comfortable, clean, well maintained with all the amenities one might expect. Top floor living and kitchen area offers nice privacy and natural light with great views of the surrounding area. Host Carlo was exceptional, meeting us personally, helping with luggage, and taking the time to answer questions about Todi and recommending restaurants, markets, and nearby places to visit.
I would recommend this to anyone visiting Umbria. The only possible drawback for some might the the steps up to the apartment. Visitors need to be ok with climbing a flight of stairs into the apartment. And, of course, Todi itself is a 'hill town'.

Still Dreaming of La Gardenia
My first visit to Todi in Umbria, and upon arrival I am politely escorted to La Gardenia by its Owner, Mr. Carlo Bilancini. Carlo is a charismatic fellow and a Todi native who seems to know and is known by everyone we meet along the way. Halfway up (or down) Via S. Maria in Cammuccia, Carlo guides us into a quiet alcove where we find the heavy wooden door that is so characteristic of the homes in this beautiful medieval city. Up the several steps we climb and enter La Gardenia, which has reportedly been in Carlo’s family for generations. For the next 11 days, La Gardenia will be our home-away-from-home and our central point of embarkation for numerous side trips to various scenic locations in Umbria and Tuscany.
The quiet, very private apartment is everything my traveling companion and I need. Smartly but simply decorated, each room has an open, airy feel. Carlo is a professional photographer and we later learn that many of the photographs that adorn the walls are his own work. Everything is spotlessly clean, including, most importantly, the bathrooms. The bedrooms are all ample in size and the bed in the smaller of the two rooms adjoining the Master Bath is plenty comfortable for me. The fully-equipped kitchen is simple, but roomier than many other European kitchens I have seen, with an adjacent family-style dining room, where we spend much of our time. If they wanted to, a family could easily prepare and eat all meals right there in La Gardenia.
And once you throw open the French doors to the balcony, you might just want to do that. The panoramic view of the entire Southern side of Todi is simply spectacular. From this point you can see the sun rise from over the mountains (an occasional hot air balloon in the distance), and then enjoy it again as it sets directly over the cupola of the Tempio di Santa Maria della Consolazione into the Fiume Tevere valley on its way to Orvieto. A photographer’s dream. Simply breath-taking and I briefly consider spending all 11 days right there without ever leaving the apartment. I don’t, of course, as Todi’s central piazza is just a short walk past the shops and up the hill. But I am most happy to return each evening to enjoy the quiet starlit sky from the balcony.

ENCHANTING APARTMENT
If I close my eyes I can still remember the peaceful morning coffees on the terrace. Just as vivid are the memories of the vibrant sunsets over Umbria's gently rolling hills and Todi's medieval stone towers with their terra cotta roofs. The apartment is well appointed, spacious, and sunlit with all the modern comforts of home. Carlo, the owner, couldn't be more kind or helpful. He not only made sure we felt at home in the apartment, but he was a wealth of knowledge about Todi and things to do in the area and beyond. The apartment is located within the city's walls in an old stone tower on a medieval street. It is a short (but steep) walk to the town's main piazza and shops. Todi is such a gem and this apartment helps you lose yourself in its past. There are plenty of places to buy groceries or even "take-out" to bring back home and enjoy that view! We had a car and parked it down the hill, about a two minute walk, and never had a problem finding a space. Travelers do need to be aware that the apartment is on the top two floor of a four story tower, and the steps are quite steep. That being said, I can't imagine a nicer location for taking in the beauty of one of Italy's most spectacular hill towns.

Superb. Nothing else required.
Having been in todi in 1998 I was excited to revisit, the last visit included similar accomodation, but Carlos home was even better, which I thought not possible. The listing description was accurate and understated. This home was impeccable, the amenities perfect, as was the location, One does not get such magnificent views on the plains, enjoy the walk " up "to the house, you will not be disappointed . Todi itself is extremely interesting historically and gastronomically ! with the best Pizza and Gelati I have eaten so far,and there are wonderful villages to explore only short drives away. Carlo, you are fantastic so helpful and kind, I highly recommend Todi and this amazing home, thankyou Carlo for sharing your families home with us , it was indeed an honour.

La Gardenia and Todi - Spectacular
This is a fabulous apartment. Carlo is great about explaining everything and was so accommodating when I asked about shade for the terrace, he went out and got an umbrella for us. The rooms are all good size and the kitchen is cute and perfect with windows looking out to the streets below. The view was everything we expected "fabulous". It is walking distance to everything and don't forget to go to the butcher for the stuffed rabbit. They told me exactly how to cook it and temp to use and it came out perfect. We had a wonderful stay at La Gardenia and Todi.

Beautiful, relaxing and a balcony with a view
'I wish I was there' .... is definitely a phrase we will use when thinking about La Gardenia Todi. A fantastic apartment with a real authentic italian charm from the family furniture to the fresh herbs growing on the kitchen windowsill.
A really spacious apartment with lots of space to relax, only 10 minutes walk to the centre of Todi ( up the hill - but well worth the walk). Carlo ( the owner) was great and could not have been more helpful even helping getting our car fixed at the local garage.
But, the star of the show is the little balcony, sun all day from breakfast till dusk, a perfect place to enjoy a bottle of red wine ( from the local wine shop) and soak in the view.
I wish I was there!

Ideal place to experience Ital culture and history
a ideal place to experience the culture and history of Italy away from the big cities. With fantastic views from all the rooms that imbeds you into this medieval town of Todi. Carlos apartment left a wonderful feeling of home with us, the décor is in harmony with the 13th century home which I understand had been with his family for a few generations. Carlos was a wonderful host assisting with our luggage and always available and obliging with helpful information, never intrusive but willing to assist from the first contact booking to departure. We did plan to visit other places in Umbra as Todi is central to the area but spent our whole time exploring Todi. We had a medium car but after driving through the town I wish I had small one, (next time). The free parking was 5 minutes away not a problem. The town is on a steep hill, good walking shoes needed. There is a bit of stair climbing but quickly forgotten when you enter the apartment and see the views. If you visit Italy you must stay at La Gardenia in Todi.

Everything AND a view!
Came to Todi with a girl friend and stayed here for two weeks. Very comfortable, with all the things I look for in a holiday apartment: pleasant bathroom with good lighting over the mirror, power outlet for hair dryer near mirror, towels and sheets that are no where near their use by date, bedside lamps that one can read by, a workable and well equipped kitchen, including good kitchen knives and wine glasses, and a washing machine. Close to town centre and amenities but not to busy roads. La Gardenia has all this and a VIEW to die for from the balcony, and even from the upstairs 'loo' .
Carlo, the owner met us as arranged at the famous Tempio, and escorted us to the apartment, and kindly assisted us with getting our luggage upstairs. He gave us comprehensive explanations and instructions for all aspects of the apartment, parking information and sight seeing tips.
I made the booking on line and this was all completed efficiently and effectively. I hope to return to Todi again, with my husband, and stay at La Gardenia.

Perfect place to stay in Umbria
We spent 4 nights in this beautiful apartment in Todi. Large, clean and with all the amenities. Wonderful views of the Umbrian hills and a small balcony for sipping the Novello and watching the sunset over the Santa Maria della Consolazione church. The apartment is five minutes walk uphill from the parking lot (easy parking) and another five to the main square (still uphill - it is a hilltown after all). Carlo, our host, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Todi is a beautiful hilltown and perfectly located for exploring Umbria and he was more than willing to help.

Wonderful week in Todi
Todi is a marvellous medieval Umbrian hill town and staying at the La Gardenia appartment made it very special. La Gardenia is within easy walking distance from the town square's cafes, shops and historic buildings. It really is like going back in time. The appartment interior is comfortable, well equipped and has fantastic views from its balcony. Some upgrading is planned for winter 2011-12 and this would in my opinion give it a 5 star rating. It is worth while saying that la gardenia is not for anyone with mobility difficulties and you are in a medieval building! Carlo is a wonderful host and we would not hesitate to make a return visit.

If you're looking for a relaxing and authentic Italian experience...
Than Todi is the place for you. We were looking to live like the Italians for the summer and we rented this townhouse for almost 6 weeks in the summer and can't imagine doing it any other way. Carlo was very helpful, picking us up from the Train and bus stops and was a great help. His English was very clear, although he always apologizes for his bad English. We were all impressed.
There are many steps up to the apartment, but it was totally worth it once we saw the view. Sitting in bed in the master bedroom, you can look out 2 windows with perfect views of two beautiful churches. My photographs don't do justice to what we looked at every night.
I travelled with a 2 year old and I never felt like we weren't safe in the town or the apartment. He even provided us with a crib for her, which was perfect.
The food was beyond amazing and my toddler even ate raw vegetables daily...something we can't get her to do here in Canada. There was a little tiny ,market at the end of the street and Cinzia who runs it, was beyond helpful. If I needed something, she tried her best to help and her produce was so fresh. One day I needed fresh basil, and she was out. She told me to come back in a couple of hours, and sure enogh, I got fresh basil, picked fresh out of a garden nearby.
Months later, I still miss the daily trips to get our Latte Macchiato's and gelato's and hang out at the highest point in Todi, where there is also a park. We found a public pool which was a short bus ride to the bottom of the hill (we tried to walk thinking it didn't look too far from our balcony. it was a lot further than we anticipated, but an adventure nonetheless) :)
The kitchen in the apartment was small but equipped with everything we needed although, the restaurants were so good, we ended up eating out a lot. My mouth still waters for the Bruschetta and pizza.
We didn't have a car, but managed to figure out the train schedule which was good for us, although if you want to take a day trip to places other than Perugia or Terni, you really need to plan to stay over night as the regional train line doesn't run past 7:00pm.
A few friends of ours came throughout the 6 weeks, and we all agree, that we would go back there in a second. Carlo was amazing and the apartment was very spacious. We will definitely go back at some point, hopefully soon! Thanks Carlo for a perfect Italian vacation.

Top Experience in Todi
We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment and although there are many steps in Todi but the great views are worth the effort. Typically narrow streets limit vehicle access but Carlo was very helpful; met us and took us to the apartment from the car park just outside the city wall and delivered us together with luggage to our car after the stay. There are many interesting day trips possible from Todi and a great place to relax and enjoy the Umbrian experience. No problem finding things to do in staying for a week.

Apartment in Todi,Umbria
We rented this apartment in June for one week,the apartment was clean, well maintained,plenty of room and wonderful views from the balcony,perfect for that early evening drink overlooking the valley below.
Carlo the owner was charming,met us at the apartment to show us around,took us to the local supermarket in his car and even carried the groceries.A very warm welcome from a lovely host.
Todi is a very nice hill town with everything you need,perfect for daytrips to Assisi,Spoleto and Perugia if you have a car.
Happy to recommend this property for a holiday in Umbria
