Wonderful Villa
Publié le 3 oct. 2024 sur HomeAwayWe had a wonderful time staying in this gorgeous villa. It is fully equipped with all you need. The pool area is also gorgeous. We hope to return! Martin, the host was most attentive!

Could not have been better
Publié le 8 août 2024 sur HomeAwayMy 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.

Hidden Gem
Publié le 8 août 2023 sur HomeAwayEverything 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!

Even better than the photos!
Publié le 8 juin 2023 sur HomeAwayThe 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!

Idyllic!
Publié le 19 mai 2023 sur HomeAwayVilla Dolce Vita in Monte Castello di Vibio is everything (and more) that anyone might imagine for a "dream" Umbrian villa! With its gorgeous two acres of picture-perfect views, the many choices for sitting/reading/relaxing/dining (outdoors and in), the large pool and decks, and - especially - the amazing and attentive hospitality of owners Martin and Anna, our experience was beyond perfect. We were there for three weeks, hosting two groups of family and friends with many side trips to Umbrian and Tuscan towns along the way. Returning after our side trips always felt like coming back to a five-star home. We loved cooking in the large kitchen, and thoroughly enjoyed the meals prepared by both Thushari (who's also the villa housekeeper) and Judy. It was hard leaving and we're already talking about coming back next year. Idyllic!

Picture perfect
Publié le 1 oct. 2022 sur HomeAwayAfter spending 2 1/2 weeks sightseeing Italy we were in need of some rest and relaxation. We could not have picked a better place. Martin was always available for any questions we had, he even meet us in town and drove us to the property as I had miss placed the directions. The villa is a dream, clean and stocked with more than you would expect. Although we spent a lot of time at the villa we did try some of the restaurants Martin suggested. All were beautiful and the best food we had in Italy. Day trips are easy from the villa as it is so central. We loved our week in the country.

Heavenly Stay in Umbria
Publié le 15 août 2022 sur HomeAwayWe had a totally relaxing week here in this beautiful, spotlessly clean and comfortable villa (the master suite and bathroom is sumptuous). We were two families with 5 children and there was plenty of space especially outside with many hidden corners to relax in. The pool (which is down steep steps) is huge and has great pool sun beds and a 4 poster sun bed. The views are stunning and a great location although it’s a long trek up on a dirt road to get there - but well worth it! The lovely housekeeper cooked a delicious meal for us and was always on hand to help and the owner was so helpful on the run up to our stay with local advice and tips. Shame the air-con and pool heating was extra…would be better if these had been factored into the original price for a high-end villa. Thanks for a lovely stay - we would definitely recommend.

I understand your point about including the cost of air conditioning and heated pool so here are a few considerations. The majority of guests do not want air conditioning or heated pool or, they chose one or the other depending on the time of year. It may seem strange but lots of guests want to get away from air conditioned living and enjoy fresh air. Generally speaking, if the house needs to be cooled the pool doesn’t need to be heated and visa versa. The pool is large and expensive to heat, as is aricon which runs 24 / 7 when it is on. We charge at cost to us (based on 2021 energy prices). If we include these in the overall cost it seems unfair to charge the majority of guests that do not want these amenities. At the same time, having a guaranteed pool temperature is really important to some guests. Lots of guests now have electric cars that will require a lot of power. We find that providing options is the most flexible approach - - each guest can decide what is going to make their holiday special. For e.g. some guests don’t want to cook etc. I hope this sheds some light on the logic, which is by no means perfect but so far it has worked for the majority of guests. P.s. we’re getting a quote on solar panels so the house produces energy rather than just consumes it. Finally thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate it.

LOVELY stay at Monte Castello di Vibio
Publié le 24 juin 2022 sur HomeAwayOur stay could not have been more wonderful! The house was spectacular along with the INCREDIBLE view.
We arrived a little early for check in and met Martin who was so welcoming. He gave us the whole run down/lay of the land shortly after we arrived. The house has everything you could possibly need. Martin was so responsive whenever we reached out. The location of the property was ideal for us as we took day trips to Orvieto, Spoleto, Perugia, Assisi and Todi. Each trip was no more than 45 minutes-an hour. The pool was the perfect reprieve at the end of each day as most days we were experiencing record heat!
I cannot say enough positive things about our stay. We had the most memorable vacation and this villa played a big part in that!!
