Villa Pambuffetti

Last September, we spent three unforgettable days at the Villa Pambuffetti,in Montefalco,Umbria. Located in the heart of Umbria, close to the medieval town of Montefalco, the Villa sits atop a hill in the midst of beautiful gardens with a sweeping view of the surrounding landscape. Owned by Alessandra and Mauro Ritucci, the Villa has eleven individually decorated rooms with bath. The Tower room is particularly desired because of its location and views. Guests can relax in the lobby, swim in the heated pool, explore the garden paths or sightsee in nearby towns as Foligno, Spello, Assisi, Trevi, Spoleto, Orvieto,Todi and Perugia. After a day of exploration, it is fun to visit with the owners and sample drinks in the bar before dinner. Please, try Caprai's Sagrantino, a red wine that is the pride and glory of Umbria, the most central of Italy. Dinner is a gourmet's delight. Alexandra studied at the Cordon Bleu Cooking School and conducts cooking classes. She also plans the menus and reigns over the kitchen. Before dinner we met the chef and watched the preparations for dinner. Mauro selected special wines and aperitifs to enhance each course. Alessandra and Mauro are wonderful hosts. Their attention to every detail is impeccable. I highly recommend it
