エルオリバル-ウンブリアのすばらしいヴィラ

We are Veronica and Ken, husband and wife and the owners of Villa El Olivar.
Like any relationship ours is as much a story about “the road traveled” as it is about us.
After an initial trip to Italy, we were convinced that we needed to return...which we did..again and again and again. All those things you read about in the travel guides were reasons for us to go back...the people, history, culture, food, wine, the way of life, and each experience moved us a bit further along the continuum from….could we live here?...to…. should we live here?.....to…..We need to live here!

Umbria surprised us...it has wonderful medieval hilltop towns off the tourist trail that make you feel relaxed and unhurried as well as more well-known places like Orvieto, Assisi, Spoleto, Montefalco, Perugia, and Spello which still feel authentic while inviting you to wander, explore and learn their history. The people seem down to earth, hard-working, and appreciative of the lives they have, and being in the green heart of Italy the fresh produce, olive oil, cheeses, and meat we enjoyed each day spoke to leading a healthy lifestyle and the chance to simplify our lives.

Now that we call Italy home, it gives us great pleasure to have you staying at El Olivar and our wish for you is that you will enjoy the experience, feel you are someplace special, and be inspired to return...again and again and again.

Umbria is the new Dolce Vita....authentic, filled with wonderful people as well as fantastic food and wines, oozing history, and tourist-friendly but not packed with visitors.
Being in the center of Italy it makes everything accessible. Perugia, Orvieto, Rome, Florence, Venice, Assisi, Spello, Spoleto, Todi, Narni, Viterbo, and Montefalco are all 20 minutes to 2 hours away by car.

The patio is 120 square meters (1200 square feet) and has spectacular views of a large Umbrian valley, medieval hilltop towns, the Tiber River, and an ancient archeological site.

Occriculum one of the largest and most important archeological sites in Umbria is a 7-minute drive from Villa El Olivar

Cascata delle Marmore, a 165-meter high waterfall created by the Romans in 271BC is only a 45 minute drive from Villa El Olivar

Villa El Olivar has a top-of-the-line, reverse osmosis, water filtration system so that guests can enjoy ultraclean drinking water. There is no need to buy bottled water.

The kitchen is large and well-equipped. Guests have everything they need to prepare simple meals or create a formal dining experience.

There is a brightly lit laundry room with a washer, dryer, iron, ironing board, and vacuum.

The villa has a 1000-liter water heater to ensure there is always plenty of hot water

There is a water softener that removes the harsh minerals from the water so that showering is a healthy and pleasant experience

The bed linens and towels are all high-quality Egyptian cotton
