Wonderful location, wonderful villa and wonderful host! Everything you could ever need or want is present. Fenomenale! In the middle of nature. Unfortunately the road is partly blocked so shopping in Gubbio takes some time. But that is temporary. Olivier, the host, is a wonderful joyful man, he gave us a warm welcome. So very generous, we could take tomatoes and other vegetables from his garden, eggs from the chickens etc. From now on he will wear braces at Sundays as a gentleman ???

Most Memorable Experience

Staying at Villa Contessa is staying in an alternate universe. The property itself is out of a fairytale. It's tremendous with apricot trees, a full fruit and vegetable garden, pigs, chickens... not to mention the sweetest "pets" Kia, the dog and Virus, the cat that roam the grounds.The pool is out of a movie. The owners - Oliver, Anna and Carlo - couldn't be nicer. Ask them about pasta night and pizza night. You wont regret it! My husband, daughter (5), mother-in-law, and I spent the week at Villa Contessa and when it was time to leave, we were quite sad. Contessa's unique charm will charm you and keep you wanting more. Ultimately you look past the quirks (fluffy towels, more hangers, thicker mattresses, newer bedding would have been nice), and you feel privileged to have then experience. I'm glad we stayed at Villa Contessa. We would happily return!

Most memorable stay in Umbria paradise

Carlo and his family are perfect hosts and immediately made our family feel so welcome and at home. The property and home are impeccably cared for and every last detail to provide a comfortable stay has been tended to. The area is so peaceful and the views are heavenly. The Villa embodied everything we imagined and more for our vacation - the reality is even better than the online photos and description can convey. We celebrated one of our daughter’s birthdays during our stay and Carlo and his family even helped facilitate getting a custom birthday cake from a local bakery and hosted an exquisitely delicious in-home dinner with homemade pasta! Our kids (ages 6, 8, 9, 12 and 18) had THE BEST time and did not want to leave. They enjoyed running around the property, playing with the owners’ dog and cat, collecting eggs from the chickens each morning, and visiting the baby pigs. We picked strawberries and beans from the garden and hope to come back later next summer when trees are bearing their fruits. Villa Contessa is ideally located for exploring the countryside and magical medieval towns of Umbria. During our stay we visited Perugia and toured the Perugina chocolate factory. We spent two days in nearby Gubbio, visited a winery in Montefalco, and strolled through the flower-laden streets of Spello. Next time we plan to visit Orvieto and Assisi, which are also easy day trips from the villa. The villa itself is so magical that one could happily stay put the entire stay.

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.

Una tenuta da sogno immersa nel verde a pochissima distanza dalla incantevole Gubbio. Gli ampi spazi interni sono arredati con lo stile tipico dei casali e illuminati dai tanti punti luce. Le cucine sono attrezzate con tutto il necessario per potere organizzare cene per gruppi numerosi. Gli spazi esterni, incantevoli alla vista sono ulteriormente attrezzati per poter vivere la tenuta all’aperto. Oliviero è il valore aggiunto di questa villa che vizia i suoi ospiti con mille attenzioni. La piscina (che non abbiamo potuto usare per il meteo) è meravigliosa e attrezzata alla perfezione. Insomma : tutto perfetto e al di là delle nostre aspettative.

Villa Contessa is perfect for a family stay in Italy. The house is very spacious with everything you need and so clean that when we arrived it was like some parts of it hadn‘t been used. On top of this the garden and surroundings are out of this world and we loved the swimming pool area and the balcony from the kitchen. It is obvious that Oliver is very proud of this place and takes good care of it and the guests that come to visit. The feeling is that it is not for the good reviews but because he really cares. He welcomed us with nice breakfast our first morning there when we hadn‘t had the opportunity to go to the supermarket. He also left us pastries an other morning and visited us with a cake for desert one day. He and Carlo then also gave us both vegetables from the property and a salami. He was always supervising the property, cleaning the swimming pool area and making sure everything was working perfectly. The dog Kia then gave us company in the garden most of our stay and the 5 year old in our group fell completely in love with her always calling her when we got outside in the morning. She then always greeted us when we got home. Location of the property is great for visiting some of Umbrias towns. We visited both Perugia and Assisi and then we went to Gubbio several times for supermarkets, restaurants and strolling around. We recommend giving this town a visit. Very beautiful medieval town with some great restaurants and not so many tourists.

La villa è molto grande (in nove siamo state comodissime), pulita, luminosa e soprattuto situata in un contesto idilliaco, tra il verde e gli animali. Inoltre Carlo e suo padre sono stati gentilissimi: due host davvero impeccabili. Non vediamo l’ora di tornare in estate per goderci anche la bella piscina! Grazie di tutto! :)

Uitmuntend verblijf in Umbrie

Mooi en rustig gelegen verblijf met schitterend zwembad. Zeer aardige eigenaar. Bracht frequent verse eieren van eigen kippen en verse groenten uit de moestuin. Wij waren er tijdens de periode dat er noodweer was en in het gebied 10 mensen zijn omgekomen. Bij ons viel de elektriciteit uit zoals ook in een aantal andere huizen. Eigenaar heeft er alles aangedaan om het ongemak zo tijdelijk mogelijk te maken en dat lukte! Het verblijf ligt circa 10 min rijden van Gubbio. Dit is een uitermate charmant stadje met alles wat een toerist nodig heeft. Wij zijn nooit zo van denken aan terugkomen, omdat wij van variatie houden, maar dit huis zou wel boven op de lijst staan!

Wir haben in der Ferienunterkunft „Villa Contessa“ zwei Wochen verbracht. Die Lage der Villa ist sehr gut. Sie ist nicht allzu weit von der Stadt aber dennoch in einer sehr Privaten Lage da drumherum keine Häuser sind. Zudem ist die Ausstattung auch zu unserer Zufriedenheit gewesen. Die Villa wurde in einem Vintage Stil eingerichtet. Außerdem hat es einen großen Pool, der ebenfalls sehr sauber war. Auch am Pool sind genug Liegen und alles in allem ist es sehr sauber. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Nur die Betten waren etwas ungemütlich, dies hat der Besitzer jedoch zur Kenntnis genommen und wird sich wohl darum kümmern. Es sind überall in der Villa WLAN-Verstärker vorhanden und daher ist es überall gut zugänglich. Die Gastgeber Olivier und seine Frau sind sehr Freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Jeden Morgen kamen Sie Vorbei und haben uns gefragt, ob etwas fehlt oder gemacht werden muss. Sie haben auch gerne Ihre Freizeit mit uns verbracht und Nudeln gekocht und mit bzw. für uns Pizza gebacken. Alles in allem war es ein toller Urlaub und eine tolle Erfahrung. Immer wieder gerne bei der Villa Contessa.

Ad accoglierci il proprietario molto simpatico e disponibile . Abbiamo avuto qualche problema con il riscaldamento e l'acqua calda ma, erroneamente, non abbiamo chiamato il proprietario che avrebbe risolto prontamente. Consiglio a tutti questa esperienza in villa.

Wir waren nun zum 2. Mal in der Villa Contessa. Für uns ist dieser Urlaub perfekt. Einzigartige Lage mitten in der Natur. Nichts und niemand in der Nähe. In ca 1,5 Std Entfernung die traumhaften Städte Perugia, Assisi oder auch eine Shopping-Mall. Nach Gubbio sind es ca 10-15 Minuten Fahrzeit. Ideal, mal schnell ein Eis zu essen, ein Kaltgetränk zu geniessen oder Souvenirs einzukaufen. Lecker Essen kann man natürlich auch. Die Region Umbrien ist ursprünglicher, viel grüner und weniger touristisch überfüllt als andere Regionen. Man fährt eben auch etwas länger. Der Pool ist riesig. Es würden auch 10 Personen gleichzeitig hinein passen...:-) Im Haus ist das EG mit dem OG nur über eine Außentreppe verbunden. Einrichtung ist völlig ausreichend. Typisch Ferienhaus eben. Aber alles vorhanden. Unsere Männer lieben den Grillplatz. @Oliviero und Carlo - wir kommen wieder!!! DANKE für alles und vor allem für Eure grandiose Gastfreundschaft. Andrea, Familie & Freunde

We spent a week in late September at the amazing Villa Contessa. The villa is even more beautiful than the pictures, surrounded by nature, greenery, mountains, farm animals in the distance and a wonderful pool (unfortunately the weather was too cold to use it) and gardens. The villa itself is also beautiful, very spacious, comfortable, clean and well-maintained with two kitchens and plenty of spaces to sit and enjoy the views, both inside and out. The owner Oliver and his son Carlo went out of their way to make us comfortable, bringing us a welcoming breakfast our first morning, and later fruits and vegetables, wine and honey from the estate. We would highly recommend Villa Contessa for a perfect holiday. The surrounding Umbrian towns, particularly the impressive Gubbio which is a 5-minute drive, make the trip even more worthwhile.
