Exceptional charming villa with private pool and view

This property has bags of charm, like living on the set of ‘The Leopard’. All the rooms are large and roomy, the furnishings are period but comfortable. The kitchen is basically well equipped, although the layout is a bit dated. Actually removing some plates and glasses would be helpful.The dining room is used as a chair store - 25 or more dining chairs - which gives a crowded feel.The pool is away from the house and out of sight, but nice when you get there.The mosquitos are relentless in the garden, although the house is well protected by nets at the windows.The views and surroundings are spectacular.

Our group of 8 stayed at Villa Violetta for one week. The villa is absolutely beautiful and it’s even better than the pictures on the website. Plenty of space for all of us to enjoy, both inside and out. Veronique was very responsive throughout the whole booking process and gave us excellent recommendations. One of the best being a private chef who came to the villa to cook for us for 2 nights during our stay (her name is Stefania). Nicola, the property manager was also very friendly, responsive, and attended to all of our needs. Our week there was an experience we will never forget!!

Villa Violetta is magnificent! Its size accommodated our extended family and was warm and inviting as well. Our host Veronique was amazing. She anticipated many of our needs on arrival and made our stay very special. The views, the setting, the pool, the access to the small town as well as proximity to the lake and the larger town of Chiusi create a unique setting. We were able to take day trips to Florence, Siena and San Gimignano. Villa Violetta is magical!

We stayed at Villa Alta, which is on the same beautiful estate as Villa Violetta, and had a fabulous week. The Villa is just as advertised - everything clean and spacious, tastefully designed throughout, everything in perfect working order, modern ensuite bathrooms to every bedroom, comfortable beds, and a pristine kitchen to gather around at the beginning and end of every day. The outside dining and lounging areas were just as inviting, with an infinity pool area overlooking the rolling Umbrian hills that was just perfect. Many beautiful memories were made. Veronique was attentive and a pleasure to deal with for any extras we needed, and the property manager Nicola was never far if we needed him. Great team. Highly recommend renting E-bikes to explore the gorgeous trails in the area, and private chef Alessio for incredible sunset meals, they made the experience that much more enjoyable. A wonderful stay, we hope to be back soon.

First of all...we had a wonderful stay. Unfortunately the villa wasnt in the condition we hoped for. But our family and Veronique found a great solution and everything went out perfectly. Thank you so much again Veronique...hope to see you again :)

My group of 18 stayed at this charming villa for my milestone birthday. The check in process was smooth, and the host was very communicative. She sent across information about some nearby sites too which was very helpful for those unfamiliar with the area. The villa parking area can easily fit up to 6 cars, and it was well situated to nearby towns such as Montepulciano, Pienza, Siena, Cortona and more. The bedrooms and house are exactly as pictured. The are bedrooms are clean, and there was air conditioning in each bedroom (but not the commons areas). Water pressure was great. Wifi was strong. One of the bathrooms was a bit leaky and had ants so we avoided using that bathroom after day 3. The pool was the best part of the house. It was clean and modern, and there were amazing views of the surrounding areas. There are lots of mosquitoes so bring plenty of repellent. Overall, it was an amazing experience. One of the best weeks of my life. Thank you.

We had an amazing stay in this beautiful Umbrian house. Stayed 3 families with kids and it all worked out quite well in the nicely air conditioned and overall well equipped house with a fantastic pool area!

The house was big and spacious, all bedrooms have ac. Great kitchen for cooking dinner for many people, we where 17. The private pool is new and just perfect! The view from it is amazing!

When I booked I had seen pictures of this lovely old villa with a beautiful pool. On arrival we discovered the pool had been assigned to the owners new adjacent villa and the so called pool for our villa was a pop up pool on what was the parking area. This pool is not in keeping with the villa and not suitable for children. You have to climb a ladder to get into it and no shallow or deep ends or ability to enjoy sitting around it. The owner has now been required to change the advertising pictures. She also allowed us to use the main pool after 5 days when the occupants of the new villa left. However she stubbornly refused to offer any other recompense except for additional cleaning of the villa. If you were to occupy all 8 bedrooms then bathrooms facilities would be an issue as the top 4 double bedrooms share one bathroom, 3 other bedrooms on the first floor share a further bathroom. One bedroom is en-suite and there is an additional bathroom on the ground floor. The kitchen is reasonably equipped but many utensils etc old and tired and a lot of old superfluous gear filling drawers. The villa is set in well established but not particularly well maintained gardens resulting in many mosquitoes

I really appreciated the view, garden, swimming pool and the beauty of the house: the comfortable kitchen, the beautiful paintings and elegant décor. I will definitely try to go back once again (this was my second time around). I would warmly recommend it. L
