Vallo di Nera House | Beautifully Restored 16th Century Refuge With Infinity Pool And Stunning Views

3 Bedroom House in Vallo di Nera, Geppa

Il Convento is a beautifully restored 16th century house in Geppa, a tiny hamlet in the mountains of the Valnerina in southern Umbria just a 15 minute drive from Spoleto. The kitchen has custom built cypress units, and sink & floor made from local marble. There is a washing machine, dishwasher, electric hob and oven, fridge and a breakfast area with antique table and chairs.
The large Living/Dining room has huge chestnut beams painted off-white, and terracotta floors. There is a dining table for up to 12, as well as a sofa, chairs, fireplace, TV\DVD and selection of films. The Main Bedroom has a large double bed and en suite bathroom with shower. The mezzanine has double sofa bed. The top floor contains one double and one twin bedroom. The main bathroom has a bath, shower & bidet.
Just down from Il Convento is a shared infinity pool with stunning views of the mountains and valley below and plenty of seating in sun and shade, as well as a hydro-massage area and outdoor solar show
Things to Do: The Valnerina and Umbria offer a wide variety of outdoor activities in all seasons. Road and mountain biking in spring and early summer, rafting from spring to autumn, horse riding and mule trekking in spring and early autumn, skiing in winter and fantastic walks at nearly all times.
Umbria heaves with cultural activity all year around and this reaches its pinnacle in the summer. Our website contains a selection of some of the highlights; however every tiny commune will have at least one festival or celebration during the long hot summer, so you are sure to stumble across something diverting on your travels.
For food lovers and antiques fans, markets abound in Umbria. Our personal favourites are the antiques market in Pissignano on the first Sunday and Spoleto on the second Sunday of the month. We have provided lots of details on all of these activities on our website and there are printed guides in the house.
Places to Visit: The best way to explore the Valnerina is to just get on the SS 209 road (also called the 'Valnerina') which runs from Ferentillo to Visso and explore, taking detours off to the many little towns hanging off the sides of the mountains. Our personal highlights include:
The ancient Abbeys of San Pietro (near Ferentillo) and San Eutizio (near Preci).
Norcia: famous both as St Benedict’s birthplace and as a food lover's paradise, with the finest salumni, prosciutto, pancetta, truffles, the famed lentils of Castelluccio and rare mountain cheeses on offer.
Piano Grande: a sublime mountain plain ringed by mountains and one of Italy's most magical landscapes. It is like a colossal natural amphitheatre and contains an incredible variety of wild flowers, which are at their most abundant and alluring in June.
Spoleto: a lovely old town, thoroughly civilised and refined, without taking itself too seriously, with one of Italy's most beautiful cathedrals.
Places to Eat: Eating in or out is always a pleasure and you will have to try very hard to have a bad meal in Umbria in general and the Valnerina in particular. In the end, it's what makes Italy our favourite country to visit: you always know that you are going to eat and drink well. Our website contains many personal recommendations and there is a printed local restaurant guide in the house.

Summary: My family spent 5 fantastic days in Geppa at Vallo di Nero. The home itself is beautifully restored and the pool views are much more impressive than pictures can show. We explored many small towns around the area of Umbria, with our favorite being the mountain town of Castelluccio. The home itself is very nicely furnished, especially the kitchen for a cook like myself. Sian, the manager, was easily accessible for any questions. Sarah, the owner, was always in the loop. We had a small issue with one of the toilets that was addressed very quickly. I 100% recommend this beautiful home in the hills of umbria.

Summary: This is a spectacular place. The historic convent is beautifully restored. The view and pool are spectacular. Our host was amazing with excellent communication and provided detailed information about the home and the surrounding area. The location was excellent with so many medieval towns and places of awe inspiring natural beauty within an hours drive or less. We have nothing negative to say and would return again and again.

Summary: Our family of 4 (kids aged 7 and 9) stayed for 5 days at Il Convento. We stayed in several houses in Umbria during the last years. Sarah’s house is a stylish renovation that uses many lovely materials, the (shared) pool is very big and it offers a splendid view over the valley. It is a good base to discover the southeast side of Umbria. We went to Spoleto, Norcia, San Pietro abbey, Trevi, Montefalco, Spello, and many smaller hillside villages like Vallo di Nera and Scheggino are closeby. It is nice to hike and bike too. Geppa is a very small Umbrian hillside village (actually it has only 1 street and a handful of residents). Sarah s house is located next to this street, with windows facing the street and oriented to the west/north/east. The south-side (valley-side) of the house is attached to another renovated house, so despite the really splendid view you have from the pool, there is very limited view of the valley or hills from within the house or attached patios itself. The patio next to the house has a large table to eat, however, having breakfast or dining outside proofed to be quite difficult for us, as it was on the ground floor next to the street, and the playful young cat of the neighbours jumped on the table and between the plates every 5 seconds. The pool and gardens are shared, guests from other houses and villagers can come freely, all being very respectful, so sometimes we had the pool to ourselves and sometimes not. As the pool and greenery is shared, and there is an automatic watering system, nobody takes real ownership and there is no fixed daily / weekly maintenance of the grounds: we noticed this in details like dead leaves and branches, weeds crawling, flowerpots without content, a shower that was not working.... the beautiful location and renovation deserves more attention. Also the lack of small tables or umbrellas next to the pool, maybe this is practical but it makes it less welcoming. There are a few trees and a big sheet between trees 10meters from the pool installed for shade, but when these are taken by other guests, you are in the direct sun. Overall we enjoyed our stay, we had nice swims in the pool, Sarah made a very nice information doc about the house and things to see & wher to eat. But we somewhat missed the charm of a local host closeby, and full privacy outside the house: we evaluate also in relation to the rental fee that was asked and compared to our other stays in Umbria.

Summary: Geppa in Valnerina, very nice location close to Vallo di Nera. Very nice restored house and swimming pool is really amazing. The house is beautiful needs a little more attention on cleaning and maintenance, but we had a good time. We recommend.

Summary: We had a good holiday despite problems with a malfunctioning fridge that was replaced after 5 days. The house is ideally situated for many excursions within 1h drive. Lots of nice restaurants within 5 to 10km
Aug 24, 2019 12:56:48 AM
Summary: The other reviews are right. It’s a lovely house in a fantastic Umbrian hillside paradise but close enough to amazing villages and cities to explore. If you are foodies don’t take cookbooks. They have an amazing set of books. And the beds are super comfy. Sarah an excellent owner and lovely local family at hand to help if you need anything. Hard to imagine anywhere better...
