About this villa rental

Villa dolce vita is an elegant stone house immersed in the green umbrian hills. The house is on a hill at 350meters above sea level so it's cool at night. The average temperature in July - Aug is 17 - 23 at night and 26 - 32 during the day. The villa is on it's own private road and is made in stone showing the main characteristics of umbrian rural architecture. Immersed in a breathtaking green landscape, villa dolce vita offers an unforgettable vacation of relaxation, privacy and tranquility.

All the interior furnishings are antique, and they work in harmony with the ancient structure of the house. All the finishings are of the highest quality, such as the 'cotto' pavements and wooden ceiling beams.

The house is on two levels. The main entrance is on the ground floor, composed by a living room, dining room and kitchen. All the rooms on the ground floor have direct access to the garden via french doors. From the kitchen one can access the loggia and the pergola, each of them well equipped with tables and chairs for pleasant outdoor dining. The first floor is reached via an internal “cotto” staircase. Here there is a double bedroom with king size bed (this room is also reachable from outside through an external staircase) with an en-suite bathroom with bathtub and shower, a double bedroom with queen size bed with en-suite bathroom with shower, another double bedroom and a duoble with "french double" and a bathroom with shower. All the bedrooms have window screens, and fans.

The park spreads out over two acres and is home to a wide variety of plants and flowers that perfume the air. The area is mostly covered by a beautiful well kept green lawn and olive grove with 30 trees. The garden around the house is shaded by secular trees and is equipped with wooden sun lounges and tables. There is the loggia and a pergola perfect for alfresco dining, furnished with an outdoor teak dining table that comfortably seats 12. There is also an ancient pizza oven, and a barbecue. Cotto steps lead to the swimming pool area with its breathtaking view over the evergreen umbrian valley.

The rectangular-shaped salt pool is 15 meters long, 6 meters wide and 1.7 meters deep. The pool, which can be heated, is located inside the park and is surrounded by a wooden deck, paved stone, curated green lawn and covered pergola area. The position of the pool offers spectacular views over the gentle umbrian hills. It is situated on a lower terrace level to the right of the house, about 100m from the main entrance. The pool area is spectacularly lit at nighttime, and has a salt purification system. The spacious solarium area is composed of stone and lawn and is equipped with double canopee bed, six sunbeds with cushions and a covered pergola with climbing roses. The pool is open from the last saturday of april to the first saturday in october.

Although the house is located in Monte Castello di Vibio, the closest town center is in Fratta Todina, only 3 kilometers away. Here, you will find a supermarket, ATM, butcher, pharmacy, post office, beautician, coffee bars, and pizzeria.

My family and I had a fantastic stay at Martin’s house. The house is even better than the pictures suggest. The house has plenty of space and the air conditioning works well in the bedrooms. We used the house as a base to explore Umbria and could not have enjoyed ourselves more. Martin was extremely responsive whenever we had a question about the house and kindly recommended places for us to visit. Perfect in every way.

Everything in this characteristic house is chosen with care and excellent taste. You will find style, peace, astonishing views of rolling hills with vineyards and cypress trees. There are plenty of seating areas to retreat to. We loved the sitting area under the romantic mulberry trees, looking down the green valley. The swimming pool is great for swimming laps, relaxing on the nice beds enjoying the late sun. The kitchen is very well equipped, we love to cook and we couldn't stop making Italian dishes. Dinner with our family until late on the terrace was atmospheric. We slept like princesses in the good beds and the bathrooms are amazing. Martin was more than fantastic. Very accurate in communication, very service-oriented, very personal and committed. Thank you Martin! If you are looking for a modern and classic high standard super holiday home with excellent guidance, book it now before its to late!

The Villa is even better than the photos! Beautiful views, decor. Master BR and bath are fabulous! Lots of places to sit and relax outdoors. We stayed two weeks and are hoping to come back next year-the ultimate recommendation! Martin and Anna were so helpful-both were there to greet us at check-in and we found them delightful. Martin certainly deserves his Superhost rating-he was most responsive and helpful. Thushari came every day except Sunday to clean and do our laundry. She also cooked for us every few days. We had Teodora, the masseuse, come one day. She does book up so plan ahead if you want her to come. The only downside is the long unpaved road and steep driveway to get to the property. We had an all-wheel drive which we would definitely recommend. You have to cross a river with no bridge and the water level rose to a point where it was a little sketchy driving through the water. We were there the last two weeks of May during an unusually rainy period, so this should not be an issue during drier weather. The property is quite a long way from the motorway. Note that one bedroom has a narrow double bed with a footboard, not suitable for tall people. Because of the challenging road, we would do our excursions during the day, then stay in every night, which worked fine for us. We had a great time cooking in the very well-equipped kitchen. All in all, we would recommend Villa Dolce Vita-once you get there, it is like a dream!
