Excellent stay in this wonderful house. Quiet place, animals in the garden, and very close from Perugia & other places in Umbria.
Piergiorgio was a wonderful guest.
My husband and I had a delightful Thanksgiving getaway in this unique, charming house. Piergiorgio was an amazing host - very helpful and responsive. The house, views, garden, goats and family of fowl made our stay relaxing and fun.
What a treat this was for a family of 7 who are scattered all around the country. The house met all of our needs and the area our dreams. The three goats helped us forget our dogs and the chickens and their eggs helped us feel like farmers. It was a fabulousl experience and Piergiorgio our host was wonderful. We hope to return in the future.
A beautiful, centuries-old house surrounded by the greenery of Umbria. The house is vast, clean, and of an antique-decor style that me and my partner love. The goats and chickens were amiable companions also! And our brief meetings with Marida, Piergiorgio, and Dante were a real pleasure, they came across as kind, caring people and were lovely to have a chat with.
I stayed at this beautiful and welcoming house for 6 nights with my family. When we arrived we could not believe our eyes, we felt so lucky. The house is large spacious and tastefully furnished, with everything you could possibly need and so many thoughtful finishing touches. We loved staying there and our children thought we were in a castle. The garden is very large and well maintained, the pool is lovely and refreshing. The owner Piergiorgio is incredibly kind spirited and generous, a pleasure to talk to. We will definitely go back when we visit perugia again.
WOW, what an amazingly beautiful property. It is the fulfillment of everyone's dream of the house you want to live in for the rest of your life. Full of history, antiques, charm and comfort it truly is the perfect vacation home.
The location is beautiful and convenient, overlooking a valley and gorgeous sunsets. While there we saw the most amazing DOUBLE RAINBOW that any of us had ever seen. The house is very close to Perugia, one the most beautiful towns in Italy and close to other gorgeous towns such as Assisi, Spoleto and Spello.
Piergiorgio and his mother were the most gracious, accommodating and warm hosts imaginable. I highly recommend a vacation in this amazing home in a truly breathtaking part of Italy.
La Olivella will seduce all who love the beauties of Italy. A fine old stone house set in hills with wonderful Appenine views, including Assisi set on the flanks of Monte Subasio, illuminated by the setting sun, and lighted through the night. It is difficult to describe this ancient house. I will just write of four of my personal joys. Passing to swim early each day through a grove of Olive and Fig. The vast and beautiful main bedroom. The elegant dining room. Long evenings dining outside. On behalf of one of my four guests I must also mention the household goats and hens which she delighted to feed. And finally Sig. Dante, the owner's right hand man, always willing to come and help and charm us.
Fantastisk hus, med masser af charme og en vÊrt der gerne hjÊlper med tips mht. Restauranter i nÊromrÄdet. Helt sikkert et sted vi gerne vil leje igen.
Das Haus ist lebendige Geschichte. Wir haben hier einen hier schönen Urlaub verbracht. Es ist ĂŒber 300 Jahre alt, wurde aber renoviert und modernisiert. Das WLAN (wichtig mit Teenagern) ist stabil und unbegrenzt nutzbar. GroĂ gewachsene GĂ€ste mĂŒssen im Obergeschoss etwas auf ihren Kopf achten: bauartbedingt niedrige Deckenbalken ;-). Leider war eine der vier Duschen defekt und konnte nicht genutzt werden. Aber da es ja noch drei andere BĂ€der gibt, war dies kein wirkliches Problem.
Das Haus hat einen schönen, parkĂ€hnlichen Garten, viele gemĂŒtlichen Sitzgelegenheiten, teils mit tollem Panoramablick. Witterungsbedingt konnte wir jeden Morgen im Hof vor dem Haus frĂŒhstĂŒcken. Sehr entspannend. Das GelĂ€nde ist vollstĂ€ndig eingezĂ€unt, so dass sich unser mitgebrachter Familienhund hier frei und ohne Ausbruchsmöglichkeit bewegen konnte. Der Pool war sauber. Er wurde regelmĂ€Ăig gereinigt und der Wasserzustand ĂŒberprĂŒft. Es hat im Haus an nichts gefehlt.
Der Gastgeber Pieregiorgio, seine Mama und sein GĂ€rtner Dante, der sich jeden Tag um die HĂŒhner und Ziegen kĂŒmmert, sind extrem nett und hilfsbereit. Immer wieder wurden wir gefragt, ob alles okay ist oder ob es irgendwelche Probleme gibt. Das Wohlergehen der GĂ€ste liegt ihnen spĂŒrbar am Herzen. Vielen Dank!
Wir, zwei Erwachsene und drei Kinder im Alter von 8 und 10, haben 16 NĂ€chte in diesem schönen Haus verbracht und uns rundum wohlgefĂŒhlt.
Das Haus bietet sehr viel Platz und ist hervorragend ausgestattet, uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Es hat einen groĂen Garten mit Schatten spendenden OlivenbĂ€umen, unter denen man wunderbar relaxen kann. Zur Freude unserer drei Kinder gab es sogar Ziegen und HĂŒhner, sodass wir auch immer mit frischen Eiern versorgt waren.
Die Lage des Hauses ist sehr gut: Man erreicht schnell Perugia und Assisi und ist trotzdem auf dem Land.
Der Vermieter ist ein ausgesprochen liebenswĂŒrdiger und hilfsbereiter Mensch, der immer mit Rat und Tat zur Seite steht und uns mit vielen Tipps zu Restaurants und StrĂ€nden versorgt hat. Wir sind sehr zufrieden mit unserem Urlaub und empfehlen das Haus und seinen Vermieter uneingeschrĂ€nkt weiter!
Casale bellissimo, spazi molto grandi ed accoglienti. Giardino molto bello, con piscina tra gli ulivi. Vicinissimo a Perugia ed Assisi. Perfetto per vacanze in famiglia o con amici. Proprietario gentilissimo e disponibile. Altrettanta disponibilitĂ da parte del custode, Dante. Uova fresche, olio e crostata ad aspettarci all'arrivo! Grazie per l'accoglienza.
Sono abituata a viaggiare e da quando sono diventata mamma preferisco evitare di andare in albergo. Non Ăš la prima volta che uso questo sito per affittare una casa dove trascorrere una vacanza con la mia famiglia, ma Ăš la prima volta che vengo accolta con quel calore e gentilezza che ti lasciano senza parole, i proprietari sono delle squisite persone. Il casale Ăš splendido e offre un'atmosfera da sogno, il giardino immenso e ben curato, la piscina Ăš immersa nel verde degli ulivi e piante di lavanda. Quando vidi l'annuncio me ne innamorai subito, ma dopo averlo visto di persona posso dire che le foto non rendono giustizia allo splendore del posto.
Ultimo, ma non meno importante, scambiare quattro chiacchiere al mattino mentre prendevo il caffÚ con il custode che sia chiama Dante Ú tutta una poesia.
Un posto perfetto per rilassarsi e visitare la bella Umbria.
Ă sicuramente un posto che raccomando e dove spero di tornare.
Accolti dai padroni di casa estremamente gentili e disponibili, abbiamo trovato una location splendida anche meglio di come appare nelle foto. Non potevamo passare meglio il periodo di vacanza! Speriamo di poter replicare presto questa bella esperienza.
L'Olivella is a charming old world farm house which has been updated but not modernised, leaving the beauty of the old ways but without the hardships. There were four of us staying and we thoroughly enjoyed it. You have to work at it in some ways but it is worth the experience
Thank you Piergiorgio for sharing your property
Unvergesslicher einmaliger urlaub, den die ganze familie genossen hat. Das haus aus dem jahr 1663 ist liebevollst gepflegt und erhalten. Am Hang sehr nah an perugia in den hĂŒgeln gelegen geht ein traumhafter blick in die ebene um und auf assisi und die hĂŒgel und Landschaft darum herum. Ausstattung und Anwesen bieten, was das herz begehrt. 3 der vier Schlafzimmer liegen so weit voneinander wntfernt und sind jedes mit badezimmer ausgestattet (eines mit badewanne, alle anderen mit Dusche), dass man auch mit 2-3 Ehepaaren anreisen könnte; 1 weiteres mit einem bett grenzt an eines drei elterlichen Schlafzimmer an. Die kleine landKĂŒche ermöglicht mit ihrer Ausstattung (gasherd, kĂŒhlschrank) unproblematisches kochen und Selbstversorgung. könnte auch kinderzimmer dienen. Der EigentĂŒmer piergeorgio ist unglaublich zuvorkommend, warmherzig und hilfsbereit. Was mehr kann man sich wĂŒnschen, wenn man auf italien pur aus ist?
Olivella is a beautiful old family home with room and space for at least seven people. The pool was chilly at this time of year but we still managed to use it several times. Lots of places to sit in the garden and enjoy the view of Perugia and the countryside. There are no restaurants or shops nearby but there is public transport on the hour into Perugia if you havenât a car. We were more than happy just to enjoy the peace and quiet of Olivella. The owner, Piergorgio, was extremely helpful and we very much appreciated him picking us up at the train station
Our joint families of six people had the pleasure of staying in this paradise for a week. We can honestly say that we couldnât believe our luck when we arrived at the house! A beautiful old house full of charm with plenty of room for 3 couples and two extra single rooms. A lovely garden area with breathtaking views of Umbriaâs green countryside and even fresh figs growing in the garden. A fantastic location for exploring all of Umbriaâs gems, no more than an hourâs drive to Orvieto and Spoleto, with Perugia and Assisi even closer. Pier-Giorgio who owns the house could not have been more helpful and welcoming, he answered all our questions and was a charming host. This house is a gem and we loved it! Already planning a return to la Bella orviella next summer
We had a lovely 11 days staying at the Olivella. We were a party of 6 and our ages ranged from 9 to 65. The house offered something for us all but would probably not be suitable for families with very young children due to the wide brick staircases. Please do not expect all the modern conveniences, however, everything you need is available (including a record player and plenty of vinyl - my 9 year old enjoyed picking a record for us to listen to during breakfast) PierGiorgio is a friendly and helpful host. Mr Dante also pops in every other day to look after the garden. The gardens and location is beautiful and Piergiorgio generously offered for us to help ourselves to any fruit or vegetables that was ready to harvest from the gardens (tomatoes, peppers, figs, plums).
The Olivella is just outside Perugia (car hire a must) and is handy for a local supermarket and petrol station as well as a 15 min drive to the station (we took the train for a day trip to Rome), 60 mins to Assissi, 90 mins to Siena.
We really appreciated the opportunity to borrow PierGiorgios lovely family home for our holiday.
We stayed with our 4 children at The Olivella for just over a fortnight and found both the property and region to exceed expectations. Having visited Italy on numerous occasions previously, the fact that we could get to the airport at Perugia in around 20 minutes yet feel we were hours away really added to the location of this property. More than that, Perugia is around 10mins away with plenty of good restaurants and sights along with many charming towns and villages. We visited Florence, Assisi and Rome during our stay - all within a drive away. Piergiorgio was the perfect host and we look forward to visiting again.
We had a five-night stay in the old house and it became an important part of our vacation in Umbria. The several hundred years were always present in the different rooms, many with stone floor and portraits on the walls. It was like living in a museum. Also, someone with a very artistic talent (perhaps Piergiorgios mother?) had collected things in nice arrangements everywhere you looked. This is not a place for modern luxury but for someone who wants to experience old times. We stayed in the house in the beginning of April and the house was a bit chilly in some rooms despite heaters, the house is probably perfect in May and summer. We felt very welcomed by Piergiorgio and his mother. The garden and views were wonderful as well. We will talk about this special house for years!
