The house was lovely and spacious. We cooked twice a day and the facilities were great. The rooms and bathroom were clean and in good condition. The grounds are gorgeous with vines everywhere. The owner is very nice and accommodating.
We had a great time!
Villa Avesa was everything we had hoped it would be, it accommodated 18 of us which included 4 children with lots of space to give people private time if they needed. The host Filiberto was superb he was around if needed, very kind and helpful but never intrusive.
We had booked the Villa so all the family could stay together as we celebrated our wedding at Malcesine Castle on Lake Garda.
It was the perfect choice!
We were a group of 16. Villa Avesa is a wonderful tuscan villa with a lot of space. 2 wonderful terraces, one directly at the very good equipped kitchen, the other one a lounge by the large pool.
The house has airconditioning which was very helpful during the hot weather we had. All in all we were very satisfied with our choice of Villa Avesa!
Avesa is a nice suburb of Verona, only 10/15 minutes away from the Arena.
And I would like to thank Filiberto for the
hospitality !
We will definitely recommend Villa Avesa and will hopefully come back soon. Thank you!
Lovely setting, quiet location, owners extraordinarily helpful and kind. Found the positive comments of many of the other reviewers to be quite similar to our reactions, particularly in terms of how comfortable and well-appointed the house is, how beautiful the property, and how accommodating the owners...The hike from the villa to the top of the same mountain/hill is worth the climb for the views of Avesa and Verona...Between the bus and local taxi service (prompt, easy to arrange by phone), trips to and from Verona are relatively easy, but having a car would allow greater access to the countryside around Verona. The owner provided the name of a local driver willing to make daily excursions from the villa, though we didn't take advantage of the service...Be prepared to do some walking if you arrive car-less and plan to have many meals at the house (i.e., buy groceries)...Highly recommend Villa Avesa...
For our parents 50th wedding anniversary they wanted to have the entire family celebrate in Italy. For 2 years we researched and planned. Finding a place for 12 people to stay and not feel like we were on top of each other was very important since we would be together for two weeks. When I found Villa Avesa I knew there was something special about this property. It was full of charm, beauty and checked off every box of what we were looking for. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped and the pool was a great place for relaxing days at the Villa. The owners were amazing from the very beginning. They answered every question we had quickly and made great suggestions on things to do and where to go. We threw a celebration party at the villa and at the owners suggestion hired the best chef to come and cook a 5 course meal. This property was the perfect location with its outdoor dining space! We hired a photographer to take family pictures around the property, I highly suggest doing this!! This location was perfect as a home base to visit Lake Garda, Verona and Venice. The people of Avesa were so welcoming, we would walk down to the cafe each morning for a cappuccino, pastry and then head to the market and bakery. We enjoyed every minute of our vacation at Villa Avesa and would highly recommend this property to anyone!
The owners were very helpful to us prior to arrival, providing directions and promptly answering the many questions I had about the villa and area. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Filiberto and his beautiful family. We immediately felt welcomed at "at home". The villa was very clean and beautifully appointed, and the kitchen well-equiped for cooking when we chose to. The only negative was the electrical system, which took some getting used to, but once we figured that out (with some help) all was fine. The beds were very comfortable and all linens were crisp and clean. Having a washer and dryer allowed us to pack less, and was a big plus. I am smiling as I write this just remembering opening all the windows and doors and having the spring air and sunshine help us start the day. Speaking of starting the day, the coffee maker is the Italian version, which take some patience and time, and was fine with us, but some people may prefer to bring instant.
The location was wonderful for going into Verona as well as accessing highways to travel to some of the less touristy places. Lake Garda was beautiful (don't miss the castle) and the village of Soave was so relaxing; stepping back in time. Villa Avesa's location made trips into Verona very easy, and there is so much more than Juliette's balcony to see.
The photos here do not capture how beautiful the villa and property really are, perched up on a hill surrounded by olive trees and vineyards. Many thanks to Filiberto and family, and especially for the special shopping trip our daughter was treated to!!! A wonderful villa and perfect week of exploring!
Aufenthalt Juli 2024
Wir waren zu 9 Erwachsenen und 5 Kindern (3-12); es war ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt, von dem noch alle geschwÀrmt haben. Verona ist innerhalb von 10 Minuten (PKW) zu erreichen.
Der Pool ist groĂ und sauber; in dem Haus sind ausreichend Schlaf- und Badezimmer vorhanden.
Die Mahlzeiten können im AuĂenbereich in romantischer AtmosphĂ€re eingenommen werden.
Der Preis von ca.75 ⏠pro Tag und Person ist gerechtfertigt. Bei entsprechender Gelegenheit wĂŒrde ich das Haus nochmals buchen.
We hebben een top verblijf gehad, week is voorbij gevlogen. We waren met een grote groep vrienden, onze host dacht goed met ons mee en was behulpzaam. Het huis is lekker ruim met gezellige hoekjes en een heerlijk zwembad. We zijn vanuit daar naar Verona geweest en wat dorpjes rondom Garda, al met al een aanrader.
Sehr sympathischer Gastgeber. Ausserordentlich freundlich und sehr grosszĂŒgige Haltung. In der ganzen Villa kein einziges âVerbot-Schild!! Man durfte einfach leben und geniessen. Grazie Mille Filibertoâ€ïž
Die Lage ist wunderschön mit tollem Blick auf die Stadt. Weit genug weg um die Ruhe zu genieĂen und trotzdem gut mit Ăffis angebunden um auch die Stadt zu erkunden.
Wunderschönes und mit viel Liebe renoviertes Haus mit genug Platz um gemeinsame Tage zu verbringen, auch in gröĂerer Runde.
Toll ausgestattete KĂŒche mit einem guten Grundstock, Supermarkt in der NĂ€he gut mit Auto zu erreichen fĂŒr gröĂere EinkĂ€ufe, Nahversorger fuĂlĂ€ufig erreichbar.
Insgesamt sowohl fĂŒr unsere Erwachsenen als auch fĂŒr die Kinder ein wirklich perfekter Aufenthalt, von dem noch lange alle schwĂ€rmen werden.
We arrived in the little area known as Avesa in Verona. The Villa Avesa was up on a hill overlooking the city of Verona with vineyards and olive orchards surrounding the property. The outside courtyards and pool were conducive to family gatherings. There were plenty of bathrooms and gathering spaces on each floor with a large dining area on the second floor where we hosted a wine tasting on night and a dinner for 20 cooked by a personal chef on another night. Walking trails around the property were enjoyed by all as was the pool. The âvillageâ of Avesa had three restaurantsâall very friendlyâ and tasty. The owner was always available to help.
We were a group of ten friends who went on a weekend trip to celebrate the birthday of one of us. In Villa Avesa we got what we were promised and even more! We had more than enough space and all the facilities we needed. The villa was clean and pretty and the surroundings were breathtaking. The villa gave us a great starting point for trips in the area and we also enjoyed the pool and gatherings around the dinner table. Filiberto and his daughter Anastasia helped us in every possible way. Anastasia even volunteered as a driver when we couldn't get a taxi when we were going to see the opera in Verona. All ten of us can recommend a stay at Villa Avesa!
Perfect place to check out the Verona/Lake Garda area. We loved it! Plenty of room for 9 of us with bedrooms to spare, we used it as a base to explore different cities in the area. We had a chef come in and cook dinner for us one night which was set up prior to us even arriving. Beautiful scenery and accommodations. The town of Avesa was also charming and had some nice restaurants as well. Would recommend renting a car to get around.
The only minor negative would be that the water pressure in the bathrooms was very low. But who cares.
Great place for groups!
Schöne Ferienimmobilie der es an Sauberkeit mangelt
Das Feriendomizil liegt sehr schön. Gut geeignet als Ausgangspunkt fĂŒr Besuche von Verona aber auch fĂŒr Wanderungen.
Die Ăbergabe klappt gut. Allerdings lieĂ die Sauberkeit sehr u wĂŒnschen ĂŒbrig. Staubflocken unter den Betten, Geschirr und Besteck nicht sauber und das Objekt selbst ist teilweise veraltet und bedarf der Renovierung.
We were a group of friends and coworkers and we had a great time at this magic place. The house, the pool and the view were stunning! Full recommendations!
This home and property are amazing. The hosts are on site with you and available to help if anything pops up. We just wish we had more time to enjoy all the beautiful spaces inside and out!
We were a group of 12 friends spending a week at the villa.
We had a great time there and Filiberto was a friendly host. The location was perfect, somewhat remote but well accessible for a trip to Verona.
I can really recommend to stay at Filibertos place! :)

Nella natura a due passi dalla cittĂ struttura con spazi ampi e molto accoglienti
Abbiamo soggiornato presso Villa Avesa quattro giorni in occasione del capodanno, eravamo in 12 piĂč due bambini piccoli e un cane e ci siamo trovati davvero benissimo. La struttura ha spazi molto ampi, sopratutto l'appartamento nell'attico, per cui nonostante fossimo in molti non abbiamo avuto alcun problema di spazi. Nel piano inferiore e nell'ammezzato le stanze e gli spazi sono molto caldi, arredati con mobili antichi ma ristrutturati perfettamente, i due camini hanno creato l'atmosfera giusta per le vacanze invernali e la cucina ci ha permesso di preparare per tre giorni pasti per tutti senza alcun disagio. L'appartamento nell'attico Ăš molto luminoso ed Ăš una perfetta seconda zona giorno. La villa inoltre si trova a due passi da Verona ma allo stesso tempo Ăš immersa nella natura e nei vigneti della zona. I proprietari vivono in un appartamento della villa, e sono stati discreti ma molto gentili e disponibili davvero in qualunque momento, nel complesso possiamo dire il nostro soggiorno Ăš stato davvero perfetto. Se ci capiterĂ di essere di nuovo in cerca di una casa in zona non esiteremo a tornare!
La villa e' molto grande, suddivisa su tre piani e puo' ospitare comodamente 14 persone. Gli spazi sono generosi (bellissima la grande sala da pranzo al primo piano, cosi' come tutta la mansarda). Abbiamo soggiornato qui alla fine di ottobre, quindi senza godere della piscina che sicuramente rappresenta un altro punto a favore. Enorme anche la proprieta' in cui e' immersa la villa, circondata da vigne e cipressi. Il centro di Verona si raggiunge in 10 minuti di macchina.
We are an Italian French family with three children. We are lover of books, nature and sports. We also love traveling and speaking foreign languages. Meeting people who have different cultures is for us a very interesting experience. Having guests allow us to pay the cost of maintenance of the property.
