Villa Contessa

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.

We had a very nice vacation at Villa Contessa. The house with the pool is great, the children had fun in the huge pool.
Carlo and Oliver, the owners, made the vacation really special.
Hospitality is very important to them, for example we get there vegetables from their garden.
You can always reach them if you need anything and they are really focused that all your needs are full filled.
As a welcome gift, we were given their homemade salami, which is really delicious, and on our departure we stocked up on this salami again.
Thank you again for the wonderful time and we will definitely come back for another holidays
Kind Regards
Matthias

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.

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 ???

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!

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.

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.

Siamo state ospiti di Carlo in occasione dell’addio al nubilato di mia sorella e tutto è stato perfetto! 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! :)

How lovely can a stay be? Lovely place, lovely owner and son, lovely surrounding!
The house is very spacious. Bathrooms have all necessities. Kitchen with a lot of gear to prepare a decent Italian meal yourself. Beautiful balcony and at another side a comfortable loggia. Don't forget the perfect place for preparing a BBQ. Everything was totally clean on our arrival. We had one day and night with storm, thunder, lightning and heavy raining (40 cm within 4 hours in the region!) with a breakdown of electricity in the neighbourhood. The owner took care of the problem as soon as possible when the weather was calming down a bite. All of this gave us perfection holiday feelings during our stay in Umbria. We are not a family, which decides to return if we like a house rented during our holiday. But maybe we should consider to change our policy on this! Oliviero and Carlo: thanks for all your efforts to make our stay to a real party! Paul, Marjan and Wietske

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.

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.

This Villa is perfect for those who enjoy their scenery. Its quiet location allows you to fully immerse yourself in the tranquility of the mountainous countryside where it is located. The nearby town, Gubbio, has all you could need regarding great food charming people and rich historical culture. Worth noting that you should plan transportation before booking as the walking is near impossible - this seclusion however, adds to the charm and personal homely feel. If driving isn't something you are comfortable with in a strange country (like us), an extremely friendly and helpful taxi driver, Marino, should be able to escort you to where you need to go. His knowledge and assistance was a key factor in making our dream holiday. We love to cook (albeit not very well) and were spoiled for facilities on the premises: 4 kitchens; even more dining areas; wood burning oven; and fresh herbs to pick on the go. The beguiling homely feel mixed with luxurious aesthetic is a combination which both comforts and entices. Whether its lying poolside surrounded by lush greenery or enjoying a hearty meal by the old piano. Our hosts , Oliviero and Carlo, could not have been more accommodating and welcoming without being intrusive, going out of their way constantly throughout our stay to ensure we had all that we needed. We were truly made to feel part of the family and enjoyed their company as much as their property. We plan to return as soon as possible with our entire family to this pulchritudinous paradise. - Hannan + Conor

Dieses Haus ist ein Traum. Groß und toll eingerichtet. Als wir ankamen war alles sehr sauber und eine Schüssel mit Tomaten und frischen Eiern wartete in der Küche auf uns.
Hier kann man so richtig entspannen, großer Garten und um einen herum die Berge. Zum Haus gehört ein großer Gemüsegarten an dem wir uns immer bedienen durften. Selbst die Hühner haben uns täglich mit Frischen Eiern versorgt. abseits vom Haus befindet sich noch mal ein kleines Häuschen mit Grill Platz und Pizza Ofen, den wir mit dem Gastgeber getestet haben. Leider war der große oder besser gesagte riesengroße Pool schon nicht mehr mit Wasser befüllt, da wir Im Oktober da waren.
Der Gastgeber ist ein sehr freundlich und aufgeschlossener Mann. Wir hatten viel Spaß mit ihm.

Il luogo è strepitoso, e nonostante il tempo non sempre favorevole siamo riusciti anche a sfruttare la favolosa cornice esterna e il barbecue. I proprietari sono stati disponibilissimi e gentilissimi ed hanno accompagnato i nostri bimbi a vedere gli animali che allevano e si possono comunque ammirare dalla terrazza. (pecore, capre... ). La casa è isolata e il luogo è silenzioso e perfetto per ricaricare le batterie... Unico neo la linea telefonica; prende solo TIN (ma per qualcuno potrebbe essere una scusa per staccare la spina... il WIFI c'è). Merita una vacanza anche senza usare la piscina...

Recently, we returned from a unique holiday at Villa Contessa (Umbria). By
this way, I wanted to let you know that we have experienced this as our
best and most appreciated vacation ever. We have never been so spoiled by
the owner. Mr. Oliviero has been so involved and so immensely lovely during
our stay. The past two weeks literally go down in history as two of the
best weeks of our lives together. The location, the owner, our stay and the
surroundings were so breathtaking that we literally left with tears in our
eyes. Everything felt so complete and amazing that this holiday exceeded
our expectations. Mr. Oliviero is truly a unique person. A more than
perfect host and a very loving man.

Location magnifica inserita in contesto boschivo fiabesco lontano da rumori molesti, ma nel contempo logisticamente ideale per visite ai tanti meravigliosi siti umbri e marchigiani. Pace e tranquillità assicurati, con un proprietario che vi colmerà di attenzioni e sarà generoso anche nel fornire preziose indicazioni per le visite e per approvvigionarvi dei tanti buoni prodotti alimentari locali. Piscina splendida, ben costruita e meglio mantenuta. Interni curati con arredamento di qualità e tutto ciò che occorre per garantire un soggiorno confortevole, dalla cucina alla biblioteca, sino al calcio-balilla ed al bellissimo forno e barbecue esterno. Semplicemente eccezionale!!!
Non c'è wireless, ma forse stonerebbe in tanta tranquillità e bellezza. Si tratta di quei posti che vorresti non cambino mai, tanto sono accoglienti, ben realizzati e meglio gestiti. Per il resto difficile immaginare miglioramenti, posto che se vi è spazio per farne sicuramente il vulcanico proprietario li realizzerà.
