Außergewöhnliche Villa in super Lage

Zunächst möchte ich auf die freundliche Kommunikation eingehen. Die Antwort der Gastgeber bzw. zur Agentur war hervorragend. Der Besitzer des Hauses sehr charmant und die einzigartige Lage der Villa abseits dem Großstadtstress machen den Aufenthalt zu einem einzigartigen Erlebnis. Die Villa bietet ausreichend Platz und hat alles was man benötigt. Die Aussicht und der Pool absolut sehenswert. In ca. 1 Stunde ist man in Rom angekommen und weitere Städte sind sehr gut erreichbar. Danke für die tolle Zeit in der Villa und in der schönsten Stadt der Welt Rom. Gerade in den späten Abendstunden erwacht die ewige Stadt und hinter jeder Gasse wartet ein Highlight.

Great vacation

We had an amazing time at this gem. Everything was beyond our expectation. If you are looking for a place to rest and enjoy cooking with a bigger group, this is a great place to do so. The hosts are exceptionally nice and helpful and always easy to reach, in case you need anything.

Amazing holiday in a wonderful house

We really loved our holiday at Meridolio. The house is so well equipped and perfect for a multi generational family. We loved exploring the local villages and the many superb restaurants. The local train station also made it easy for visits to Rome and for getting to and from the airport. Jeanette and Francesco could not have been more helpful; when our family arrived at the airport and there was no car seat for our toddler grandson somehow they found one for us and delivered it to the house within hours! A wonderful holiday

Traumhaus für einen Traumurlaub

Die Beschreibung zum Haus ist sehr akkurat und die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Schlafzimmer und Bäder waren super, wie auf den Bildern. Die Küche ist bestens ausgestattet - es war alles da, was wir zu Acht zum Kochen und Grillen brauchten. Terrasse, Garten, Pool sind ein Traum, ebenso wie die geniale Aussicht und die Sonnenuntergänge. Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig und abseits - es sind ca. 1.5km Feldweg dorthin und die 8 km Straße bis zum Feldweg sind auch recht schmal. Wir fanden das klasse. Mit der Welt bleibt man, wenn man das will, über ein stabiles und "absolut okay schnelles" Internet verbunden, WLAN ist im ganzen Haus verfügbar, am Pool zum Musikhören ist es dann per 3G/4G besser. Wir haben jeden Augenblick genossen und würden jederzeit wieder in die Villa Meridolio fahren.

Beautiful quiet relaxing getaway

Meridolio was such a treat to stay at. It was a family holiday with our young adult daughters and their friends - five young people aged between 19 and 21 - and it was perfect. Stunning views, beautiful pool, plenty of spaces for people to spread out. We love cooking and the kitchen was a joy to be in - plenty of space and really well equipped, while also giving you a fantastic view while you cook. We had a number of dramatic thunderstorms while we there and it was still possible to sit outside on the covered patio at the front of the house, and play cards, so we didn't feel cooped up. It was also a beautiful place to have breakfast in the early morning sunshine, while the balcony at the back was our favourite place to watch the stunning sunsets. We all agreed it was a 10 out of 10. Thank you Jeannette and Francesco for a wonderful holiday.

Ein Sommertraum im Latium

Wir haben unsere zwei Wochen in der Villa Meridolio sehr genossen. Ein stilvoll eingerichtetes Haus mit genügend Raum für uns zwei Familien. Die vielfältig ausgestattete Küche mit sehr geräumigem Kühlschrank, tollem Kochfeld und viel Platz zum 'Arbeiten' ist bemerkenswert. Die Terrassen auf beiden Seiten des Hauses bieten immer irgendwo Schatten und der Blick nach Westen mit dem fulminanten Ausblick in die sanften Hügel des Latiums ist großartig (inkl. Sonnenuntergänge). Der große Pool ist ebenfalls ein Genuss. Die großen Eichen mit dem Segeltuch erhalten den ganzen Tag einen großen schattigen Bereich, so dass man dort immer verweilen kann - auch wenn die Tage heiß werden. Alle Zimmer sind zudem mit Mückenschutz und Klimaanlage ausgerüstet, toll. Das ganze Umfeld (Bewässerung/Pool) ist sehr gepflegt und wird unauffällig zwischenzeitlich weitergepflegt. Um zum Haus zu kommen sollte man einen langsamen(!) ersten Gang beherzigen und auch uns hat (wie in einer anderen Bewertung beschrieben) das Hundegebell aus der Umgebung morgens und abends vereinzelt gestört - vielleicht fällt es aber auch nur auf, weil ansonsten die Ruhe so vollkommen ungestört ist. Jeanette und Francesco waren super-freundliche und sympathische Gastgeber, die jederzeit auf Anfragen schnell geantwortet haben - so soll es sein. Also, Besten Dank nochmals an Euch und Eure Familie!

Entspannung pur

Bei dieser Ferienoase stimmt alles, einzig der Zuweg ist "ländlich", d.h. man sollte eine normale Bodenfreiheit beim Auto haben und auf Feldwegen fahren können. Das passt aber zur herrlichen Alleinlage des Objekts. Viel Platz, eine schöne Gartenanlage, eine hervorragende Küche und der Pool sind optimal für ein garantierte Erholungswirkung. Danke an Jeanette und Francesco, die immer schnell und kompetent sowie sehr zuvorkommend auf alle Fragen und Anliegen Antwort und Lösung bereit hatten. Wir freuen uns auf ein nächstes Mal!

Wunderbar

Sehr schönes Haus mit gigantischer Aussicht. Das Pool ist sehr toll.Die Lage ist perfekt für Ausflüge nach Rom. Der einzigste Nachteil ist wer nachts gerne Schläft brauch Ohrenstöpsrel da nachts sehr viele Hunde bellen und um 7 Uhr der Garten gegossen wird. Mit einem Geländefähigen Auto kommt man auch gut durch die sehr engen Straßen.

Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt

Sehr sauberes, geräumiges und gut ausgestattetes Ferienhaus. Insbesondere auch die Küche liegt größen- und ausstattungsmäßig deutlich über dem von uns bisher erfahrenen italienischen Standard. Die Klimaanlagen sind im heißen August wirklich was wert. Tolle Aussicht, sehr freundliche Besitzer, schöner Pool, der regelmäßig gereinigt wird (die Poolfliesen müssten allerdings irgendwann mal erneuert werden - das tut dem Badespaß allerdings keinen Abbruch). Das Haus ist trotz der Anfahrtsbeschreibung nicht ganz leicht zu finden, der Pfad dorthin sehr eng und mit einem größeren Auto ist Vorsicht bzw. Rangierarbeit geboten. Alles in allem mit das schönste Ferienhaus, das wir bisher in Italien hatten.

Fantastic villa, relaxing stay and fantastic hosts

Villa Meridolio is hands down the best property we've stayed in and undoubtedly made our holiday! The property was spacious and rustic and had some fantastic views from every window or balcony. The kitchen was very well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. The pool area was absolutely incredible, with breathtaking views. The local towns were good, but do seem to close for an extended period over lunch. But we were lucky to be able to go back to such a beautiful villa! Jeannette and Francesco were very welcoming and friendly. If we could suggest something to improve, it would the tourist information which could be a little bit more comprehensive.

A beautiful, relaxing villa

The owners of this charming villa - Jeannette and Francesco are two of the nicest people you could wish to meet and go out of their way to help in any way possible. The villa "Meridolio" is everybodys dream of a relaxing holiday. The scenery from every window is beyond words and the private pool is superb. The only downside is the narrow lane leading to the villa and the distance to the local supermarkets. A car is a must for this holiday as there are some great little villages to be found nearby. We would definitely recommend "Meridolio" for your next holiday. but lets just keep it a secret as once you have been you will almost certainly want to go back

Wunderschönes Ferienhaus

Wir waren 2 Wochen mit 8 Personen in Meridolio.Das Haus liegt etwas abgelegen in einem hügeligen,sehr reizvollen Gelände umgeben von Olivenhainen,Weinreben und Obstbäumen. Es waren sehr ruhige und erholsame Wochen in dem wirklich schönen Ferienhaus. In der gemütlichen,großzügigen Küche findet man alles was man an Geschirr benötigt reichlich.Die Aufteilung des Wohnbereiches und der Schlafzimmer ist auch sehr gut. Allerdings ist ein Schlafzimmer sehr klein und weder mit Kleiderschrank noch mit anderen Ablagemöglichkeiten ausgestattet. Die Bäder sind alle drei schön, großzügig und sehr sauber (wie auch alles andere im und um das Haus). Der Garten mit grossem Grillkamin, die große Terrasse und der Balkon mit herrlichem Ausblick sind wirklich super. Am schönen Pool sorgten Laubbäume und das Sonnensegel für idealen Schatten. Es ist ein rundum empfehlenswertes Feriendomizil zum wohlfühlen!!!

Paradise on earth

We highly recommend this location: the villa is great: it's comfortable, cosy, spacious and very clean and the kitchen is very well equiped. You can enjoy the Italian sun as much as you can as there are 2 terraces, a beautiful garden and a swimming pool. The owners are so helpful and friendly.....in fact, you can rent this villa with your eyes closed. Jeannette e Francesco, grazie mille per la vostra ospitalità, era un piacere conoscervi!

A very rural, spacious and well appointed villa, with a nice pool.

Jeanette and Francesco are very welcoming and Jeanette speaks very good English. There were 6 adults and 4 children (aged 2-7) in our party and it was lovely to eat together around the table under the shade of the veranda. We all loved the pool but be aware that children who can't swim will need careful supervision as it is deep once off the steps. Every room has air-conditioning (except the small attic) which was essential for us as temperatures reached 40+ C but it is an extra cost at nearly €100 a week if used all night in every bedroom. The roads around the house are very narrow so bear in mind when hiring a car. The local supermarket, Conad, is very good and has fresh fish as well as a bakery attached with great bread. We loved the villa and would recommend it to anyone wanting a spacious home away from it all.

Nice & relaxing place in the middle of countryside

We - a group of six adults + a labrador - had a wonderful and adventurous week in Villa Meridolio. The house is well equipped and clean, everything works well, the property is tidy and the pool area is perfect for relaxation. We made some interesting car trips to see and admire the small ancient towns & villages nearby. People are extremely friendly everywhere, especially the ladies found this out concretely: on the way back from Rome (which you can day-trip more than easily by the train from Poggio Mirteto) they found no taxis around. Luckily they met a nice fellow, who gave a 10 km lift back to Meridolio. This unknown guy accepted no money for his effort, so big "thumbs up" for him. In other words, your own transportation will be more than handy, if you want to make some exploration or visits to nearby attractions. All in all, very recommendable villa & area to visit. The friendly owners, Jeannette & Francesco, are especially nice people, they really make you feel at home from the first moment.

Well finished and equipped house in a beautiful rural area

We had a great week's stay. The house is well built and finished (no loose fittings, no clogged up drains, etc) and all the necessary amenities are there. The pool is clean, and bigger than I expected. Lazio is a beautiful and pretty unknown area of Italy. The surroundings are very green and peaceful. Shops and restaurants are only reachable by car, but that's the consequence of the peace and quiet. We didn't have a problem with that. Also, the owners were very friendly and correct, so we had a very good holiday. The only slight hiccup was the weather!

About the host

Hosted by Jeannette

The villa is in an olive grove of more than 500 trees which has been a family plot for decades. Francesco inherited the land in the late 90s. With passion and dedication his dream of building a country villa has come true. It took four years and much effort, much of the interior wood work was made personally by Francesco, who is a lover of fine woodworking. Today Francesco and I (Jeannette) alternate between Sabina and Tuscany, between his and my land. We love nature and the quite life, we are passionate about picking mushrooms ( around here there are plenty of beech trees and the area is rich in mushrooms), we like to take long walks with our dog and discover the hidden corner of our two regions. We are also two foodies, we love good food and good wine!
We chose to offer this piece of paradise to our guests, genuine people like us who choose to regenerate (even for a few days) and oxygenate their minds in this oasis of peace.
During the stay of our guests we like the opportunities to meet for a chat with them, bring them a basket of our fresh vegetables from the garden and give them a taste of our wine, but never invading their privacy.
The whole villa will be available to our guests, and no areas are shared with others. In the villa we have tried to put everything we would like to find when we go on vacation: a cosy, clean and well-equipped house...in essence, we want to offer you an unforgettable stay !
