Staying at Villa Monteluce, also referred to as Borgo Monteluce and Casale Monteluce was not a pleasant experience for us to say the least. The location was great, views of the lake were nice, the buildings on site were pretty but that's about it. Proximity to the town of Passignano was good. The property however was not maintained well at all. The steps, walkways and courtyards needed to be swept of gravel and plant debris and the landscape was very weedy. The property was very untidy and unkempt. There were bugs everywhere outside and inside the unit (centipedes, ants, spiders, flies, wasps) and got stung several times by wasps. We could not enjoy the patio or the pool because of the wasps. We could not even open the windows and doors for some air because of the bug issue which made for an extremely hot and muggy unit and several sleepless nights. Kitchen was poorly stocked with kitchenware. Bathroom was tiny. Bedroom size was decent but top cover tattered and torn. It's as if the owners really don't care to have guests stay there. Not surprisingly this entire complex was empty in the middle of July. I have stayed at various agriturismi in Tuscany and Umbria so I have a benchmark and this did not meet my expectations at all. I would absolutely not recommend this place to anyone, nor would I return.
