Reviews of Property: A Beautiful Hillside Villa with Private Pool and Spectacular View

I chose this villa as I wanted a relaxing break, and I was not disappointed! The house itself is very well maintained with lovely large rooms which have windows and shutters - the master bathroom is gorgeous! While I went out and sampled some of the lovely local cuisine I also did plenty of cooking - the cooker and BBQ are very easy to use. The pool is just stunning, it is a great size, has amazing views across the sprawling countryside but it still completely private.

A fantastic relaxing break just reading, swimming, eating and drinking local wine!

I would certainly recommend this property!

Im not normally one to take the time to write reviews but i had such a great time i wanted to share this.

The house was beautiful, large bedrooms, fantastic kitchen where even I could cook! Even shot some pool! It genuinely was the most relaxing place ive ever been to. The pool has great views across the beautiful vine yards but is still secluded. My friend who recommended this place said how great the location is for day trips to Genoa, Milan and the mountains which ive no doubt it is but for me its just as great for relaxing, drinking the great local wines, eating the fresh local pasta and watching the world go by.

10/10 property (Try the bbq too is fab)

Stayed here for a wee trip out to the slopes last year. Loved the location of the house, very peaceful and close enough to go skiing to different places.
House was in good condition, very warm (considering how cold it was outside) and a great size. Loved the kitchen and the games rooms. Beautiful views. Shame we couldn;t use the pool, just too cold in December! Would go again and are looking to book for next year.

I must say I did enjoy stay at the house so is my wife and our little one.
We were so suprised how lovely and quiet place it is and a local restaurants serve a great food. Our 3 years old daughter just loved running on the grass and we didn`t have to stop her every time she run to far away from us because we felt there so safe and welcome.
Thank You definetly will go back again.

My family and I had a fantastic holiday here in may and also went back in August. We enjoy a very relaxing holiday and this was ideal for us. Just being able too relax and take a dip in the pool when necessary is our idea of a holiday. The sun, pool and tranquil life is what this holiday is all about. You will need to hire a car whilst here but I found it fairly easy to get around with the help of my sat nav.There are plenty of nice places to dine in the evenings although we tended to go too the supermarket and have a BBQ in the evening with a few glasses of the local red wine. I found the accomodation excellant with everything to had that we needed. There is plenty of space too hide from the children if need be. If we had any questions regarding the house I found Barry very easy to contact and he would then ring me back straight away. This place is not a livly youngsters holiday but an ideal place for families to chill out. We had a slight problem with ants but then when the weather is hot you do expect that. Good all round place for a fab family holiday.

I visited the villa Summer 2006 with my girlfriend. The views were breathtaking from the balcony and the surrounding area. There is a small town 10 minutes away which has restaurants and bars. Lovely place to get away and relax, with the bonus that Turin, Genoa and Milan are all around an hour's drive away for a great day trip.

Will definitely be going again.

We have stayed at this property 5 times in the past 6 years at different times of the year, both with my parents and teenage children. We have never been disappointed; the property is beautifully kept, tastefully furnished with huge rooms and its really well equipped. It is set in the most glorious surroundings and the addition of the pool was an added bonus. This is the perfect place to "get away from it all" and relax on the patio with a glass of the local wine, a group of friends or family and a wonderful view. Superbly located for sightseeing in Milan, Turin and Genoa, not too far to visit the beautiful beaches as well as the glorious mountains, tiny villages and beautiful countryside. The local Pizzeria is really cheap, has first class food and friendly waiters. Nearby Aquiterme is a beautiful old and new town with both cobbled streets and modern shops as well as the enormous swimming pool - not to be missed. You really do need a car. Highly recommended for the perfect holiday - we will be back!

Went out seeking a quiet place to rest and relax, thankfully this property was situated on the crest of a hill overlooking the surrounding Vineyards and Farms and was tucked away from the motorways and larger towns locally.

Noticeable features are the quaint stairway (caution for the taller person at the top step) arched brick ceiling and a rustic red tiled floor in a nicely appointed kitchen with one of the largest oven/cookers I have ever seen.

The original structure being very thick walls, kept the rooms beautifully cool during the midday heat, however the big bonus for us was the private balconies to the large upstairs bedrooms and the hill top swimming pool that made for great breakfast and evening dining, taking in the views of the alps on the horizon!!!!

The array of local restaurants and local bodegas was extensive, too the point that it took more time for us to generally decide where to go than to drive (5-12 mins on average). The local roads are typical of the countryside and are yet another part of the experience of Italy. On the days we couldn't be bothered to go out, the Gazebo with BBQ and the games room kept us entertained and fed.

We took a couple of days trips to Genoa and Milan (which were no more than 45mins to couple of hours by car) and managed to squeeze a bit of site seeing and shopping, although we recommend take a city map as the inner city roads can be very confusing.

Very much enjoyed our stay, the toughest part was the last day having to leave this lovely country farmhouse and the friendly locals!
