My wife, daughter and I stayed at the villa with my sister, her husband and seven year old twins. The villa was very comfortable for the seven of us for six nights and we had a fantastic stay.
Alessandra met us at the villa and gave us a tour. She was very friendly and readily available if we had issues (we didn’t). There was a nice gift of tasty, fresh fruit and coffee waiting when we arrived.
The villa itself is as expected, well-appointed with nice areas to relax and comfortable bedrooms. We cooked in the professional-grade kitchens and dined in style in the large dining room.
The star area, though, is the terrace. After touring all day, we enjoyed drinking wine on the terrace in the evenings watching the sunset and stargazing. In the morning, it was the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee. Very peaceful and beautiful.
The location of the villa is also perfect. We took day trips to castles, gardens, hill towns and even as far as Pompeii and always found it easy to return to Orte for a relaxing evening.
We also chose to have a local chef, Antonella, provide a meal one evening on the owner’s recommendation and that was fantastic. Antonella and her daughter brought traditional local fare and wine produced by her Grandmother. They were charming and the food was delicious.
If you are looking for a place to relax while you see Italy, we can’t recommend the villa enough. Every part of our stay was pleasing and led to a wonderful time in Italy.
