Om boendet

Utrymme, lyx och fred, 360 vyer, 32 tunnland, pool. 1 timme N Rom. Inkluderade priser

Ett "Wow!" fastighet och vårt andra hem. Privat, lugn, rymlig villa, med egen olivlund, och skog på totalt 13 hektar (~ 32 tunnland), 1 km från medeltida by. Privat: 12 x 6 m infinity pool (med fjärrkontroll barnsäker täckning) & undervattensstol längs västra sidan, internationell storlek boule domstol, omfattande terrasser, utanför vedugn. Flera gäster har kommit in på poolens utmärkta utsikt och utsikt över den. ‘Cloister’, öppen på 3 sidor och under ett fikonträd, med enstaka bord och stolar, ger ytterligare skugga i trädgården, med ljus, USB-laddningspunkter och engelska eluttag. Tre utomhusbord plus ett inuti matbord med stolar för 8 personer, med gott om skugga. Det finns 11 solstolar och kuddar.

Villan ligger i floden Tiber ('Tivere' på italienska) bevarandeområde, och floden kan (bara!) ses från trädgården, tillsammans med, i den andra riktningen, Umbrien. Villa ligger 7 km från Autostrada, och floden som korsas på vägen är Tivere. Detaljerade fotoinstruktioner tillhandahålls, och ankomst och avgång är mycket enkelt.

Lantlig villa sova 8 i lugn och komfort. Golvyta på cirka 300m2 på 2 ½ våningar, tillsammans med en takterrass. Huset och trädgårdarna förbises inte. Det finns 4 sovrum (3 med dubbelsängar, ett med två singlar), 5 duschrum och 6 toaletter.

På alla sidor är 360o-vyerna imponerande och har utsikt över dalen i floden Tiber (Tivere) i väster, jordbruksmark och kulle byar runtom med en bakgrund av orörda berg och Soratte berget i sydväst. Bybutiker är 1. 2 km, en 10-15 minuters böljande promenad. Supermarknader ligger inom 10-15 minuter med bil.

Utmärkt wi-fi, internet-tv för brittiska markstationer och flera internetradioer för alla internationella radiostationer. iPad & Apple dockningsstation med högtalare i matsalen. Ett trevligt, privat och rymligt kontor med bord och stolar och egen toalett med utsikt över poolen som en lugn arbetsplats (om du verkligen måste på semester!) Telefonsignal för mobiltelefoner. Internet wifi "den bäst erfarna" enligt en gäst. Internationell satellit-TV med BBC och ITV, DVD-spelare och 100 + DVD - mestadels engelskspråkigt.

Rom 1 timme med tåg, cirka 8 Euro (station 5 minuter med bil) eller Autostrada. Med bil och autostrada ligger Villa Elefanti 30 minuter söder om den umbriska gränsen, en timme söder om den toskanska gränsen och 2 timmar från Florens avfart. Autostrada-korsningen ligger 7 km från villan.
Sol (och skugga finns) hela dagen. Stora terrasser för sundowners: tre stora uteserveringar med vardera åtta stolar. 11 solstolar, 8 solstolar, små bord, 4 parasoller, etc., etc.

Lokal chef, Adriano, och hustru, Maria, bor lokalt och levererar diskret support om det behövs.

Den lyhörda ägaren är glad över att interagera med dig med information du kan dela med din familj och vänner, före, under eller efter din semester. .
Den lantliga Villa och dess grunder är helt privat och inte förbises, men nära byn. Det är väl tillbaka från dess sekundära vägåtkomst, och med elektriska, fjärrkontroll grindar grindar, så säkert för barn att utforska sina 32 tunnland / 13 hektar. Antingen med tåg (station är 5 minuter bort med bil) eller via autostrada centrala Rom är bara en timme bort.

Lokala platser att besöka :: I ingen särskild ordning: Vescovio - ~ 20-25 minuter. Trevlig liten restaurang bredvid en mycket gammal kyrka med underjordisk krypta. Farfa - religiös liten by. 800-talet tror jag. En eller två restauranger utanför byn. ~ 30 minuter avstånd. Casperia - synlig från östträdgården. Hillside by med många trappsteg och utsikt och några barer. ~ 30 minuter. Poggio Mirterto (bra marknad - mestadels kläder - tredje? Måndagens fredag) Viterbo - Medeltida liten (som en filmuppsättning!) - kanske ~ 1 timme. Etruskisk restaurang rekommenderas för utmärkt och billig lokal mat och grappa (Euro 1 per glas!). Några trevliga shoppinggator också. Även antikaffärer. Gavignano - ingenting mycket om det, men en intressant marknad den tredje söndagen (eller är den sista söndagen?) av månaden. Orvieto. Hill top town med mycket historia och katakomber. En timme norrut på Autostrada. Bagno Regio - FANTASTISK (gå uppför) tillgång till medeltida byn på toppen av kullen - 15 minuter från Orvieto och praktiskt taget okänd för icke-lokalbefolkningen.

Rom & den bästa stranden: Ostia-stranden väster om Rom - den bästa. De andra är överutvecklade. Detta är ganska naturligt med sand och sanddyner. Stor "Meditterane" strandrestaurang och hyra av solstolar och paraplyer på km 8. 5 - utmärkt fisk. Anländer tidigt på sommaren eftersom parkering är längs vägen och begränsad. Tipsa mannen som verkar ta hand om din bil ungefär 3 Euro för dagen (men det är den enda avgift, och om han fortfarande är där när du lämnar, hjälper han dig in i trafikflödet.)

Rom: kultur, shopping och människor som tittar på - 1 timme.

Några rekommendationer: Personliga favoritrestauranger och destinationer anteckningar tillhandahålls kunder via e-post.

Tidigare gäster har haft golf: flera banor i närheten - detaljer på begäran.

En bil rekommenderas. Både Rom-flygplatserna - Fumicino och Ciampino - ungefär en timmes bilresa från Villa Elefanti i normal trafik - har biluthyrningsföretag, som inte finns lokalt till Stimigliano. En GPS för din bil rekommenderas starkt för att navigera på landsvägarna och / eller Rom.
Det finns en direkt tåglinje från Fumicino flygplats till Stimigliano. Leta efter tåg som går till Orte slutstation - de går genom centrala Rom, men inga förändringar behövs. Det finns vanligtvis 2 timmar: kolla tidtabellerna vid stationerna. Biljetter är billiga och måste valideras innan resan. Det finns inga taxibilar i Stimigliano, utan en buss från järnvägsstationen till piazzaen.

Rymligt hus i avskilt läge med härlig utsikt

Vi åkte två vuxna, två tonåringar och två barn i tio-årsåldern och uppskattade att det fanns många sovrum och badrum i huset. Den stora poolen tillbringade vi många timmar i och kring. Adrian var en mycket trevlig och tillmötesgående värd, snabba svar i all kommunikation både före och under vistelsen.

Dream Location for Holiday in Italy

I can highly recommend this accommodation ! The Pool, the view, the sourroundings and the house were perfect for relaxing days in Italy. We were there as a group of 7 people. The accommodation offered enough space for everyone. Adrian was super helpful and was always quickly available if there was any information or other problems. I would definitely come back !

A tranquil paradise!

Firstly, the villa itself is stunning. It has 360 views overlooking the valleys and hills all around the property. It has several outdoor seating areas to enjoy, all with incredible views. Beautiful gardens with many pollinator friendly plants and shrubs, including a huge lavender bush. The pool and loungers were so enjoyable after a log day out and about. The interior has 2 very cozy living spaces to relax in. We especially loved the smaller living area off the dining room, it was really cozy and we found ourselves enjoying the space in the later evenings. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed to cook a meal. The rooms were spacious and the bathrooms were large. There is a 4th upstairs bedroom which has very low ceilings, but it is quiet with beautiful views. The beds were firm and bedding was provided. The villa is just outside of the village and accessed via narrow roadways which we learned is very common in Italy, especially for properties with great view points. Secondly, Adrian is an amazing host. Full and detailed instructions on how to get to the property (I highly recommend printing his instructions) and how to access the keys and entry points. Wonderful recommendations for local restaurants and grocery stores which were very helpful. We loved the documented history of the villa and it's pieces of art. Adrian was incredibly responsive with any questions and needs we had were taken care of immediately.

We didn't want to leave!

We have stayed in many villas over the years, but none with a view to rival Villa Elefanti! I have so many photos of sunrise (from my balcony) and sunset from the dinner table as they just seemed to get better and better. There isn't enough space on here to say everything. Adrian was fantastic with information from booking and we felt like it was 'our villa' from the moment we arrived. We took the train to Rome (despite having a car) and it was so easy. Lovers of 'Normal people' can visit the Piazza where they had ice cream! Local restaurants were perfect, supermarkets had everything you could think of. Definitely get the Porchetta from the local market in the piazza, it was amazing. We will definitely return. Thanks for a perfect end to our 3 weeks in Italy, we were in Lucca and the Cinqueterre beforehand but saved the best for last!

Stunning villa with a fantastic host!

My family and my sister-in-law's family (4 adults and 4 children aged 9-12) just spent a fantastic two weeks (late August 2022) at Villa Elefanti. The surroundings are stunning - it's on the top of a hill so you really do get 360 degree views. The photos on here don't do it justice. The villa itself is great - very large, well kept, and has everything you'd expect to find already there. There's a well stocked kitchen, the beds are comfortable and the bathrooms smart and large. Not that we spent much time indoors, but there's plenty of space for internal living during colder months of the year. Wifi/mobile reception is great (not that's what we went on holiday for, but nevertheless useful for doing research for day trips etc). The pool is fantastic - clean, large enough for two families, an infinity edge to one side, and provides much needed relief from the hot sun! There are plenty of loungers, chairs and sunshades around it. There are four separate outdoor tables for eating, each big enough for 8 people and a pizza oven on the terrace that we used twice. Stimigliano is a 20 minute walk away and is a friendly, small village, there are a couple of options for eating out - we would highly recommend 'A Casa Mia' in the old town. A couple of well-stocked supermarkets are less than a ten-minute drive away. There's plenty to do less than an hour away, notably Rome itself (we tagged a couple of days on at the end of trip there and also went to an AS Roma match on the middle Monday), but also several towns (Orvieto is recommended) and Lake Bracciano. Finally, Adrian is a wonderful host - very helpful, responsive and friendly (we communicated via WhatsApp). All the guidance notes were great and covered everything you'd expect them to and more. Thank you, Adrian!

Eine beeindruckende Villa (jedes Zimmer hat ein separates Bad), ein riesiger Pool und ein Rundumblick, der unvergesslich ist. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war nicht nur unkompliziert, sondern hat durch dessen ehrliche Gastfreundschaft den Aufenthalt noch angenehmer gemacht. Wir haben uns jede Sekunde willkommen gefühlt.

A wonderful place with good standard.

We were a group of 4 adult couples that spend a week in the villa. The view was outstanding in all directions. It has several sitting groups in the sun or shadow. The pool was big and deep. We spend most of the time outdoors. But we loved to prepare breakfasts and dinners in the Nice Kitchen. We rented bikes that were deliverd at the villa. The area was good for biking. For shopping and restauratsvisits in the evenings, it wound be Nice to have a car available. Adrian is a positiv and helpful host.

Ein großartiges Haus in einer traumhaften Lage

Das zauberhafte, große Haus liegt abgeschieden auf einem Berg. Hier kann man seine Ferien ganz in Ruhe und ohne Störungen genießen. Die Ausstattung hält alles vor, was man benötigt. Der Pool ist wunderschön, riesig groß und wird täglich sauber gemacht. In ein paar Minuten erreicht man mit dem Auto Supermärkte und Restaurants. Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter, Adrian, war wunderbar zuverlässig, sehr freundlich und stets zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit. Innerhalb 1 Stunde Autofahrt ist Rom zu erreichen, hier haben wir Sightseeing bei Tag und bei Nacht gemacht, was sehr zu empfehlen ist. In der Nähe, 1 Stunde Autofahrt entfernt, befindet sich ein tolles Outlet Center, hier lohnt es sich auch mal, auf Shoppingtour zu gehen. Am allerschönsten waren die abendlichen Sonnenuntergänge, von der großzügigen Terrasse aus, haben wir diese stets genossen. Wir möchten uns ganz herzlich bei Adrian für den tollen Service und auch für die Empfehlungen für Restaurants und Ausflugstipps bedanken. Wir, 2 Familien (mit 3 Kindern), haben uns in diesem schönen Ferienhaus, mit toller Lage und sämtlicher Ausstattung, 2 Wochen wunderbar erholen können und einen traumhaften Urlaub genossen.

Wonderful Italian retreat!

One part of us (like others) wants to keep this place a secret, it is such a gem, whilst the other part wants to ensure it remains available to use again! The pictures (although lovely) almost don't do it justice, particularly the views, which are unbelievably stunning. And the amenities are great, just what we needed from a week long getaway, especially the pool, which was very accommodating for our 2 small children. Adrian was incredibly helpful, both prior to and throughout our stay. We are very much looking forward to our next visit!

Villa a 5 stelle!

Ho soggiornato a Villa Elefanti con i miei due fratelli, cognate e nipoti per due settimane in agosto. Il casale è a dir poco spettacolare! Curato nei minimi dettagli offre a chi decide di passarvi qualche giorno ogni comfort. Ci si può rilassare in casa con una buon libro o guardando un bel film, a bordo piscina fino al tramonto (la zona ne offre di suggestivi...) o giocando a bocce. Per gli amanti della cucina ci si può sbizzarrire utilizzando anche un forno a legna esterno dove preparare per esempio delle buonissime pizze. E poi il proprietario Adrian è sempre pronto a rispondere a qualsiasi richiesta o fornire indicazioni sul casale o sui dintorni. Da non perdere!

Great views and a spacious well equipped property.

The very detailed pictorial directions helped us find the property (up a steep rough drive) with no difficulty. It was everything I hoped., even better than in the photographs.Throughout our weeks stay I never stopped being amazed by the beautiful views (including some fabulous sunsets) The kitchen was very well equipped (including decent sharp knives, a first in my villa experience) and the showers excellent. The beds were large and very comfy. It was spotless on arrival, with milk and wine in the fridge. Perched on the hillside the views from the sparkling pool (with loads of loungers and seating) were wonderful, yet at the same time the villa felt very private. I can highly recommend the porcetta from the market in Stimigliano (we got to try some before buying) and the local Simply supermarket (only 5 mins away by car) is well stocked. Conad (10 mins) is much bigger with a fish counter. There aren’t that many non Italians around so don’t bank on English being spoken but everyone in shops and restaurants seemed really friendly (especially with my attempts at a few halting Italian phrases) The transport links to so many places were one of the reasons I chose this villa as it is easy to get onto the main autostrada (we’d already spent a week in Rome so didn’t try the train, but I would in future now I have a feel for the location). In the end we only went to Tivoli (the fabulous Villa D’Este with its fountains and gardens is surprisingly quiet). It was just so relaxing and comfortable at Villa Elephanti that we couldn’t tear ourselves away. There is no air conditioning although large fans are provided. My husband found this fine although maybe in high summer even these would not be sufficient for everyone. The owner was very helpful in the information he provided about facilities and the location of the many nearby restaurants (you definitely do need a car). He also responded very quickly to any queries we had both before and during our trip. Without a doubt one of the nicest villas I’ve stayed in - we had a fabulous time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property.

Wonderful experience

This wonderful villa surpassed our expectations. There were 6 of us and it was more than ample Adrian thought of everything. We hope to return to Italy and villa Elefanti to swim in the lovely pool and rekindle the warmth that was present with Adriana, Maria and their wonderful family. There was never a barrier with the language we all just worked it out with a little help from duo lingo. The Italian ruins are everywhere with tour guides to explain. I can not thank homeaway enough for offering this lovely villa, you were there always when we needed your assistance. Thank you again.

A great place

We had a great time at the villa. It's a fabulous location, with a very interesting and warm feel to the place. Plenty of room and lots of outdoor settings. It was very clean and well appointed inside and outside. The swimming pool was terrific, with an infinity edge looking out to the great countryside. It was large too. It is close to the main road route into Rome and places like Orvieto. Stimi is a small hilltop village, but the main square has a couple of bars and the supermarkets are just down the hill, so a quick drive. All in all we simply had a great time there.

It stole our hearts, peacefull with great views

Villa Elefanti with its stunning panoramic view over hills, has stole our hearts. It has a beautifull garden and a big pool. The villa was well equipped. This peaceful place met all our expectations. The pool is set in a lovely location away from the house and the terraces offers outstanding views. The local restaurants are about 5 min drive, provided excellent service, advice and food. Great info and guidance from the owner before arrival and no problems while at the house, many thanks!

Italian paradise!

We stayed at Villa Elefanti for one week in May with our big family of 7 (2 adults and 5 teenagers). Arriving at the house, the only word that we could utter was 'WOW'. And the 'wows' got bigger and bigger as we explored the house and grounds. We could not believe our luck to have found such a gem. The house is perfectly positioned with 360 degree views - the photos are amazing but the reality is a million times better. Everywhere you look there are stunning views of the countryside, of beautiful villages and the mountains in the distance. Outside the property, we were spoilt for choice as to where to sit - all terraces and the pool area are beautiful for enjoying alfresco dining. Inside the property, the standard of decor is top spec. We could not believe the beauty of the furniture, decorations, ornaments. The rooms are huge, as are the 'many' bathrooms. We were spoiled for choice as to where to sit inside too (not that we sat inside much). We didn't even have chance to use the lower sitting room or dining room. The house is perfectly equipped, containing everything you would have at home (and more in our case!). The equipment is also of a very high standard. We were simply in heaven all week. The beauty of the house made us very lazy and we only ventured out a couple of times: once to Rome on the train from Stimi - very easy! We chose the day that forecast thunder storms in Stimi. Amusing as we returned to the house to rain and thunder, when the electricity had shorted out. Luckily thanks to the plethora of information provided by Adrian, we were able to sort out the electric gates and also return the power to the house. Aside from that, we only ventured out to visit the local supermarkets, and to Da Lina and RosMarino restaurants - both amazing! We didn't want to waste a minute our week away from this paradise. My sister and I don't speak Italian, but thanks to 2 months of Italian podcasts and a phrase book, we were able to get by throughout the week using our very stilted Italian. The locals were so friendly (and amused/impressed) - despite being in true Italy, we never once felt out of place or unwelcome. Our negative is that we think that Villa Elefanti has probably ruined every future holiday we will have, as nothing will ever be as perfect. We are now desperately researching how buy property abroad, because we would love to have somewhere even 1% as nice as this place. Thank you Adrian and Lena so much. We hope to be back someday. x

Fantastic property in a wonderful location!

We spent an uninterrupted week at Villa Elefanti for our honeymoon - it is a wonderful place. Secluded, yet close enough to the local town (Stimigliano) for groceries and plenty of options for proper Italian food. It gave us the space to relax, enjoy the spectacular views and enjoy firing up the pizza oven. We will be back - next time with friends!!! Thank you

A Hidden Gem?

From the moment you arrive at Villa Elefanti you are torn, on the one hand there’s an almost irresistible urge to share your delight in having found this gem of a place, on the other there’s a bit of you which would like to keep it your little secret. For our party the urge to share won out and as far as our respective social media circles are concerned this gem is certainly no longer 'hidden'. The villa itself is an attractive and imposing building outside and spacious, comfortable and well appointed inside. Set on its own hill top it is secluded without feeling isolated and surrounded by hard and soft landscaping totally in keeping with its environment. More importantly its position offers outstanding views over the surrounding countryside on every side and there are plenty of places to sit together or singly to take it all in. We particularly loved the patio with the wood oven (which was great fun to cook with) which quickly became our favoured place to eat dinner and enjoy another fabulous the sunset. We were blessed with perfect weather during the week we were at Villa Elefanti, and opted for a leisurely stay lazing by the pool, playing petanque and soaking up the wonderful views. However, we did try Adrian and Lena’s favourite local pizza place as well as shopping in their nominated supermarkets all of which were as described in Adrian’s comprehensive and invaluable notes. With lots more to explore in the surrounding area we have the perfect excuse for a return visit in the not too distant future.

Varför värden valde detta boende

Guests enjoy the space, peace, views, privacy & pool and convenience for shopping and restaurants. Many enjoy visiting Rome by train or car, as well as other historical sites. We also enjoy just living in the villa, enjoying the peace and tranquillity and its location, with Wonderful agricultural views all around, and shopping for food locally, and preparing food when we don't eat out. We enjoy very much having a house full: the villa is excellent for large family groups and reunions - there is sufficient space in and around the villa, including for parking

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

We were fortunate to have, through a friend, a local contact who could look for suitable ruins for us to buy and renovate. We looked at many over a couple of years. It was the hill top location of what was to become Villa Elefanti, which enchanted us from the first viewing. The little house, and its land, originating hundreds of years ago and run as a small agricultural holding, had not been used for about 15 years, and was being offered for sale by the widow of the former family owners, from Rome. We paid the asking price in 2007 , and then spent much more on the renovation welcoming the first guests in 2009. Every year we do a little more to continually improve the villa, its facilities, access and garden, which as far as possible we are developing to not require water in the summer, once plants are established. In the winter of 2017/18 temperatures went down to minus 10 -12 C , and we lost a lot of plants. But with the expert assistance of our gardener we keep striving to make the garden more and more beautiful and in character for the local environment. We have a team of people assisting us in the local management of the property, and we respond quickly to any guest contact, finding that Whats App is most convenient.
