About this property

Prestigious Villa of 19th with breathtaking view

Villa Monteporzano was born from the desire to create a unique place where nature meets history. Built in the 19th century, the estate retains its historical and architectural charm, thanks to a long restoration process that has given it a new life. Located just 2.5 km from the city of Orvieto, it is the perfect place for a holiday in search of peace, away from everyday stress. Thanks to its dominant position, it enjoys an unparalleled view of the Orvieto cliff.

It is a prestigious 19th century villa of a noble Umbrian family, magnificently frescoed and furnished with original antique furniture, surrounded by a private garden of over 3000 square meters with centuries-old trees and over 20 varieties of plants and flowers. For these prestigious characteristics it is mentioned among the buildings of historical value in Umbria.

The Villa has an internal surface area of over 600 square meters spread over two floors, connected by a large marble staircase. On the ground floor, a large atrium welcomes guests, a corridor leads to the study area, to the large fully equipped kitchen with a large stone fireplace and a large marble table that can accommodate up to 8 people. The kitchen leads to the living room full of frescoes dating back to the 19th century, with a TV available to guests.
From the main entrance, a large marble staircase leads to the upper floor. A corridor leads to the 4 large bedrooms, each with a king-size bed and private bathroom; on the floor there is also a second frescoed living room with balcony.
For the exclusive use of the guests of the Villa, in the private garden, an area equipped with two large gazebos, sofas, tables, chairs and deckchairs. Wi-fi present throughout the property. Mosquito nets and fans in the bedrooms.

A few steps from the Villa, immersed in a garden of olive trees and lawn, the swimming pool with a unique view of Orvieto to be shared with the structure. Each accommodation has its own private umbrella. The property does not accept animals.

Located in the green Umbrian hills, just 2.5 km from the medieval city of Orvieto, it is the perfect place for a holiday in search of peace, away from everyday stress. Our territory offers a perfect combination of nature, art, history, spirituality and food and wine. The surroundings also offer the possibility of tasting typical local products and visiting cellars producing excellent wines. We have created for you a vast proposal of experiences and activities, for families and couples, through which you can discover our territory, such as: horseback riding, excursions with e-bikes, guided visits to the cellars, cooking courses.

Location incantevole
Punto di forza è sicuramente la location immersa tra gli ulivi e con una vista stupenda sul duomo di Orvieto. Ottimi i consigli di Giulio per i ristoranti, come pure il vino e l’olio in vendita presso la reception. L’appartamento, come indicato nell’annuncio, non necessita di aria condizionata. Nonostante il caldo estivo la notte si dorme molto bene. Note stonate: l’acqua corrente non potabile che andrebbe segnalata e la lavastoviglie vecchia e malfunzionante. Per migliorare il rapporto qualità prezzo, troppo alto per i servizi presenti, andrebbe prestata più attenzione ad alcuni dettagli come ad esempio la sostituzione di spugne e stracci logori.

Outside Orvieto
Didn’t look like the photos.... some prep for guests would have made a difference. Entry stairs swept, outside table washed. Upgrade of bedding would be highly recommended. The pool was covered after the first day there even though it was sunny. Disappointing all around.

Under the Umbrian Sun
Wow, what a wonderful property and the the property manager Guilio was everything you could ask for and attentive to all of our needs and anticipated things we never even thought of, like restaurant reservations at Orvietto, an Italian breakfast served at our room and many more!! This was the final leg of our 11 day trip in Italy and I was with my wife and our three teenaged daughters and everyone needed some down time to relax under the Umbrian sun and this property fit the bill!! Sitting atop a mountainside, the views were spectacular, the property was extremely clean and comfortable and the pool was all you could ask for. This property was centrally located to Rome and Florence, but far enough off the beaten track to be a gem! I give it and Guilio and ten and cannot thank them enough! Grazie!!!

Wonderful property, beautiful quiet neighborhood, in the middle of olive grove. Great hosts.
Kitchen equipment and furniture is below the level of accommodation. Cleanliness might be better. Daniele as a guardian, is a greate person, and prepare to help and advice you in every time. Thank you, Daniele. Owner Guilio is a great young man. We'll be back.

Accueillant, agréable...
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour. Nos hôtes étaient accueillant. L'appartement agréable. Un regret que le champs d'oliviers coupe la vue sur la ville d'Orvieto. Attention à ne pas trop laisser vieillir l'équipement. Parfait

Great pool, friendly helpful people, relaxed atmosphere and a spacious apartment
We had a lovely welcome from Giulio who provided some great helpful advice on what to do and what to see. Giulio and Daniele keep the property in very good order. One of them was always available if needed. The apartment was a short drive (5-10 mins) outside of Orvieto with ready access to out of town supermarkets meaning that we did not have to actually go into Orvieto every time. If the bedding was a little firm and the kitchen equipment a little basic the luxurious pool, the incredible views over Orvieto and the private terrace with bbq more than made up for it. Overall this was a really relaxed and enjoyable holiday where our children were free to use the pool at any time, even late into the night. I should mention that the apartment was not air conditioned but had ceiling fans. However, the property always felt cool and sleeping was never a problem. We stayed for two weeks and had a very lovely time and would stay again.

Séjour inoubliable
Nous avons séjourné pendant 5 jours dans l’appartement Rosa. Nous avons pu visiter aisément les principaux attraits touristiques de l’Ombrie à partir de la Villa. En prime, nous nous sommes offerts une journée de farniente à la piscine. L’accueil, la propreté, l’équipement, la beauté du site, tout y était.

Perfekte Lage in Umbrien
Wir verbrachte eine Woche in diesem charmanten Haus und haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Der Garten, Swimming Pool, Blick auf Orvieto sind top. Man muss zwar nach Orvieto fahren (10 Minuten), dafür hat man Ruhe und viel Platz. Innerhalb von einer Stunde in Rom, was wir genutzt haben um die Stadt zu besichtigen. Der Wirt Giulio was äusserst hilfreich und hatte für uns gute Tips. Essen in Orvieto überall top und nicht teuer. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.

Wonderful stay!
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property. Giuli greeted us, showed all around the property and told us about the area. He had great recommendation for restaurants and wineries. The apartment had plenty of space and so charming. Our kids loved running around in olive grove. I highly recommend!

Prachtige accommodatie, fijn verblijf
Fantastische accommodatie: ruime en comfortabele appartementen, prachtig gelegen zwembad met fenomenaal uitzicht op de dom van Orvieto, heerlijke tuin. Rusig gelegen maar toch dichtbij Orvieto, supermarkt e.d. (wel auto nodig). Behulpzame eigenaar/beheerder. Echt een plek om nog eens naar terug te keren!

Heerlijk verblijf in prachtige omgeving
Mooie accomdatie op een prachtig gelegen landgoed. Prijs aan de hoge kant, maar wordt ruimschoots gecompenseerd door de prachtige ligging. Als er wat meer in de tuin en ook onderhoud aan het huis zou zijn gedaan, kun je van een 8,5 een 10+ maken.

Peaceful, Serene, with many nearby Adventures
We traveled as a group of 8 friends, from Southern Italy to Northern Italy for one month in May, and I would describe our one week stay at this Villa, within view of the Duomo of Oriveto, as being the highlight of our trip. Not only is it located in a breathtakingly beautiful part of the country, but it is perfect for taking day trips and exploring this part of Umbria and its many wonders. All of the sights and activities that we wanted to do were easily accessible from our location with a short drive (all within an hour or less) by car. We wanted to spend time in Orvieto, visiting the beautiful duomo, touring the underground, and seeing the medieval palaces, but we also wanted to explore the region, including Lake Bolsena, go to the hot spring spas, and especially high on our list was to see the crumbling medieval town Civita di Bagnoregio. We rented 2 apartments located in a 200+ year old stone building which has all of the modern conveniences, including a good wi-fi connection and cell phone coverage. The apartments were adjacent, making it easy for a group to visit back and forth. Each apartment had plenty of privacy and were soundproof. The front terrace/decks were wonderful, with outdoor yard furniture, and spectacular views of the surrounding countryside, olive and lemon groves, and of the old hilltop town, Orvieto. In the mornings we would sit out on the terrace, drink our coffee and listen to the birds sing. The grounds consist of several acres. It is peaceful, quiet and the swimming pool is gorgeous (but it was still too cool in May to use it). Daniele, the property caretaker and groundsman, made us feel at home, and was he was always available to assist with any of our needs. The owners of the Villa were extremely hospitable, welcoming us with a bottle of local wine, and provided us with many tips about the surrounding country. n the evenings we would either cook our meals, after shopping at the local Co-op, or fresh produce and meats at the Farmer’s Market, or we would drive the short distance into Orvieto and go out to one of the many fine restaurants. The kitchens were well-stocked with just about anything that you would need, plenty of plates, pots and pans, coffeemaker, and ours even came with spices and homemade olive oil. This property is highly recommended for location, hospitality, and comfort.

Wonderful stay in the Villa
We were two Belgian families renting the entire Villa at the property. An incredible price-quality: so much space, tasteful rooms and lots of privacy! We enjoyed the wonderful terras and garden and were welcomed with open arms by Daniele and Giulio! The only minor things that was disappointing were the showers (variable warm water). But the splendid pool compensated this! Thank you for this amazing address, be sure that we will recommend this to our friends (although it would be nice to keep it as a secret, just for us...); warm greetings, Evelyne Sauvage and family from Belgium

AMAZING!!
Amazing! Wonderful! Fantastic! These were the words we have been using over and over again to describe our time at the Residenza Monteporzano. We are a family of 12! Nana and Papa (Nonna and Nonno), their 3 daughters and the daughters' families. We spent a very lovely week at Monteporzano and felt extremely cared for. We were welcomed very warmly by Guilio and he gave us lots and lots of information about the region, what to see, where to go, how to get there, etc. In fact, we had many emails with Guilio before our visit to arrange our stay (traveling with a group of 12, as you can imagine, is no easy feat), and he was always very responsive and helpful. Through Guilio, we were connected with Chef Fracesco who prepared 3 exquisitely delicious dinners for us during our stay. Our kids ranged from 4 to 21, the adults from 41 to 82 - ALL enjoyed our time there. Three families (two families of 2 and one family of 4) stayed in the awesome villa - 4 bedrooms with private bathrooms and a family room upstairs, kitchen, family room, bathroom downstairs, with direct access to a beautiful terrace and yard. We ate all our meals at the large table out back, stopping every 5 minutes to remark on the breath-taking vistas all around us. Another family of four enjoyed one of the upstairs apartments, with two bedrooms, a large living room and two bathrooms. We all enjoyed the beautiful pool! And when Guilio had to be away, the property manager Daniele took exceptional care of us - one time making reservations for us at a lovely roadside restaurant Cacciatore (on the way to Lake Bolsena) and then calling the restaurant while we were there to ensure we arrived safely and were being treated like royalty! Residenza Monteporzano is a place we would LOVE to return to again and again. Thank you Guilio!!! With much love and gratitude, The Ray Family

Posto meraviglioso
Ho trascorso una settimana con il mio fidanzato in questo incantevole posto. Giulio, il proprietario, ci ha accolti con molto garbo ed entusiasmo dispensando consigli e fornendoci indicazioni sulla zona. Appartamento accogliente e pulito, giardino e piscina con vista mozzafiato sulla rupe e sul duomo di Orvieto. Vivamente consigliato.

Wonderful Service and Breathtaking views
We loved everything about our stay at the Residenza Monteporzano the only downside is that we didn't stay long enough. The apartments we stayed in were clean and very comfortable. Guilio (the owner) was very welcoming and did everything he could to make our stay more enjoyable. The residence has a wonderful history and the Olive Oil is delicious - be sure and bring some home with you!

casa vacanza residenza monteporzano
Posto spettacolare con un residence di altri tempi....Struttura del 1800 ti regala un viaggio nel passato con le sue stanze ricche di mobili antichi,travi di legno, pavimenti di un tempo. Il figlio dei proprietari, Giulio ci ha dato il benvenuto con un tagliere provvisto di prodotti tipici locali , del buon vino e un delizioso aperitivo.Molto disponibile anche per offrirci indicazioni sulle localita' dove andare a visitare e sui localini tipici dove andare a mangiare. Le attrazioni che sicuramente sono imperdibili sono : le cascate delle marmore, civita di bagnoregio,lago di bolsena e il meraviglioso castelluccio di norcia con i suoi mille colori. Questo immobile NON lo consiglierei a nessun amico che possiede un cane visto come ci ha trattati la proprietaria.... il cane non puo' andare nella zona piscina, non puo' salire sui divani...e altre proibizioni che ci ha afflitto.Credo lo consiglierei a delle persone di un certo livello e visto che non ne conosco molte per mia fortuna non lo consiglierei a nessuno.

Perfect holiday accommodation
We had two glorious weeks staying in the apartment Rosa. The location is stunning looking out across to Orvieto. The villa and apartments are set amidst olive groves with a avenue of cypress trees leading to the villa. We enjoyed the use of the pool and the lovely garden, it's location could not be more perfect. The apartment was well furnished with one en-suite bathroom with bath and a separate house bathroom. We found it clean and tidy. We enjoyed the large terrace to sit out on outside the apartment. We were made to feel very welcome by the owners Isabella and Julio with a wonderful welcome pack including olive oil made from their own olive grove. Orvieto is a very picturesque town with lots to see and do. The train station has a regular service to Rome and Florence. If you are looking to book a holiday around Orvieto I would highly recommend this as a place to stay

Gentilezza e cordialità
Siamo stati nella residenza di monteporzano nel se di pasqua e, malgrado il tempo non clemente, siamo stati veramente molto bene. Vorrei precisare, innanzitutto, che la residenza e gli appartamenti sono molto più belli rispetto a come si evincono dalle foto e poi complimenti al sig. Giulio che ci ha accolto molto bene e ci ha reso davvero gradevole la nostra vacanza con estrema gentilezza e cortesia. Lo consiglio vivamente a tutti specie a chi famiglia e bimbi come me

Sicuramente da consigliare a tutti quelli che amano il "bello", l'appartamento è veramente ristrutturato con cura, gode di una splendida vista su Orvieto, e l'accoglienza che ci ha riservato Giulio è stata veramente piacevole! Grazie di tutte le attenzioni che hai avuto x noi! Inoltre il rapporto qualità/prezzo è ottimo! Manuela Rossi
