Villa Contessa - Villa with private swimming pool

We were able to check off a bucket list item at one of the most beautiful villas in Umbria! As frequent travelers to Italy, we have wanted to take our kids and grandkids to see the special places we love in this country. The location of Villa Contessa is perfect for day trips or for sitting and relaxing in nature. The villa itself is spectacular!. The owners have created a wonderland wherein a family can cook and eat together on an amazing vista deck, swim in the huge and nature surrounded poole, collect fresh eggs for breakfast and just "be". Gubbio is a historic "citta" for discovering a rich Gubbian culture and to enjoy local specialities. We enjoyed our daily cappuccino's and evening sritzes often followed by artegional gelato. The Villa itsel has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, two kitchens and dining areas. The kitchens are completely stocked with anything and everything a cook will need for meal preparation and there is an outdoor room and patio area for those who like to grill. The bedrooms are well appointed and everyone in the family felt they slept well and long, sometimes too long when planning for a day trip! The bathrooms are each lovely and either have a shower or a tub. The property itself is a paradise in the hills, but still only 5 minutes away from town. Our family loved the fact that there is a really friendly dog who "owns" the property and kept our grandkids entertained as well as giving them a job to feed him!. There were also some new kittens to entertain us. What an absolutely lovely 3 weeks we experienced. We want to thank Oliver and his wife and Carlo for the kindness, assistance and guidance they provided! This is a wonderful family who totally made us feel at home and welcomed! Every need or question was taken care of. Carlo even helped us find a chef who would cook osso bucco for our son-in-law! We more than highly recommend this property and this experience-a truly exceptional way to check off our bucket list.

We had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful villa! The views from the property are absolutely stunning, and the peaceful surroundings made it the perfect place to unwind and relax. The highlight for our family was definitely the amazing pool—spacious, clean, and ideal for both kids and adults to enjoy the summer sunshine. It truly made the place complete! Our host was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay, making us feel right at home. It was clear they genuinely cared about making our experience a great one. Another lovely surprise was the wide variety of board games available at the villa, which kept the kids entertained for hours and gave us some fun family time indoors as well. Highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly escape in the heart of Umbria. We hope to return soon!

Abbiamo trascorso tre giorni meravigliosi in questa casa vacanza, che si è rivelata una vera oasi di comfort e tranquillità. Lo spazio esterno è semplicemente fantastico, perfetto per rilassarsi e godersi la bellezza della natura circostante anche in inverno. Ci siamo spostati agevolmente e abbiamo visitato Perugia, Assisi e la bellissima Gubbio. Un ringraziamento speciale va al signor Oliviero, che ci ha accolti con un calore e una gentilezza che non dimenticheremo mai. È stato davvero premuroso, coccolandoci fin dal nostro arrivo e facendoci sentire come a casa. Ci ha fatto assaggiare prodotti tipici locali, tra cui salumi prelibati e miele dal sapore unico. Ci ha consigliato, inoltre, un ristorantino del posto "Ristorante San Bartolomeo" che propone pasti di ottima qualità e prezzo. Grazie per questa esperienza indimenticabile! Consigliamo vivamente questa casa vacanza a chi cerca un angolo di pace, comfort e calore umano.

Casa molto bella e ben tenuta con spazi ampi adatta a gruppi numerosi. E’ inoltre anche bene attrezzata. Consiglierei di migliorare l’appartamento al piano terra per quanto riguarda la cameretta ed il bagno. Il proprietario è stato super gentilissimo e molto disponibile a risolvere un piccolo problema.

Séjour d’une semaine en famille avec enfants et petits enfants. Espace, confort, atmosphère, le lieu idéal pour un séjour en Ombrie pour saisir l’esprit franciscain et vivre en mode slowlife. De plus la famille propriétaire est accueillante et sympathique. Les produits qu’ils peuvent proposer, viandes, charcuterie, fromages et produits du jardin sont de grande qualité. Nous avons quitté les lieux avec regret , en s’imaginant que nous pourrions vivre là pour le reste de nos jours. Merci pour ces beaux souvenirs.
