We used "I Casali di Caicocci" as a central point to explore Umbria and the western part of Tuscany. As a result we did not spend much time at the resort during the day. As a result we did not make use of it's facilities.

However we really enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of our "home" away from home when we would arrive back in the evenings after a hard days exploration.

The rooms are very clean and the area is extremely peacefull. We were woken each morning by the singing of birds. The views from our unit were also fantastic. I can imagine that in winter the must be even more beautiful.

We did not make use of the Restuarant as this was a bit out of our budget but we found a delightful little "Tratorria" - La Cantinna - about one killometer down the road that we ate ate.

All in all highly recommended.

I cannot agree with Sally Green. We have stayed at Caicocci for the past three years and have just booked up for a fourth. Caicocci is certainly isolated; isn't that why you holiday in the country. There are lots of really lovely small cities within 45 minute drive. One of the great things is the amount of space there is and if you rented one of the more distant properties you would find it a long walk to the pool. I absolutely agree the pool is beautiful and with a bar/cafe which is very useful. Last year was very hot in July but generally air conditioning is not necessary as the apartments have high ceilings and thick stone walls. I have no idea where the idea of the place being dusty comes from as the entire estate is green as anything with a lot of mature woodland. We did use one of the sofa beds once; I did not get any complaint from the child that used it. The proper beds are very comfortable with beautiful cotton sheets. I would agree about the kitchens though we have cooked meals for 10 people using them and the barbecue; I understand they are due for upgrading. We love Caicocci, it is beautiful, friendly, relaxing and simply wonderful!

This is in a very isolated spot so you do need a car, even to drive from A to B on the estate. The sofa beds were almost impossible to sleep on, even for small children, lumpy and bumpy with bedsprings that squeaked at the slightest movement, so, if you go, get the larger accommodation so everyone has a proper bed. The kitchen area was absolutely tiny. No air conditiong so very, very hot. The restaurant was above average. The saving grace was the pool which was very nice and civilised as the whole place is quite hot and dusty with not very much to do. I wouldn't go again.
