In 1995 I decided to begin a new experience. I wanted that globetrotter people to know our wonderful village and our lovely region: Umbria. So we begun to rent Giovanna's House, and later in 1999 Marianna's House, and now the Cottage Le Casaline. The houses have the name of the wimen who lived there in the past.
The houses are situated in the village of Messenano, 14 km from the historical centre of Spoleto, 120 km north of Rome and 200 km south of Florence, quiet position near a little lake surrounded by woodlands. Messenano was a castle in 13th century, now is and old and quite market among green hills, where live about 40 farmers who still live old traditions.
We want that the guest is not only a tourist, but can live like a person of Messenano, in a true italian house or in cottage with garden, no in an house for tourists.
