About this property

Hill Villa With Private Pool, Landscaped Garden and Exquisite Chef Service

Villa Maddalena is an ideal holiday family house. It is set on a hill on the edge of the thermal town of Acqui Terme, in the heart of Piemontese area renowned for its wines and food. It is surrounded by a beautiful garden, a very comfortable swimming pool area, and many well-equipped outside dining and sitting areas. The house is within short driving distance from 4 main airports: Genoa, Milano Linate, Milano Malpensa and Turin. From the house one can reach the town on foot (15 minutes walk), or on a bicycle, and just at the bottom of the hill (5 minutes walk), there is a grocery shop, butcher, pharmacy, newsagent and ice cream shop, while the town itself offers excellent restaurants, music events, thermal water treatments, local markets. To our guests we offer the possibility to have a Chef Service for lunches or dinners.
The house is on 2 floors: on the ground floor you find a large eat-in kitchen that opens up in front of the dining tables on one end and towards the living room on the other end. The living room has a large sofa, and another 2 smaller sofas, 4/ 5 chairs scattered around and a round table with another chair that we use like a desk. The inside dining room is hardly ever used in the summer, it has a dining table that can be enlarged to seat about 10 people, there is library with some books and VCRs. Further on, on the same floor, there are 2 bedrooms: one is a double bedroom with access to a private garden and the other one is a 3 beds children bedroom, that opens towards the garden. On this floor there are 2 bathrooms: one is ensuite to the double bedroom but it can be also be accessed by the children' s room, the other one is adjacent to the children bedroom and accessible also from the kitchen. Indoor stairs and outdoor stairs lead up to the second floor, where one finds a pleasant smaller living room opening up to a balcony overlooking the garden and the pool and 2 areas: each has a double bedroom and a 2 twin beds bedroom, sometimes the tween beds are put together to make it a double bed. Also there are the 3 bathrooms : one is en-suite to the master bedroom, and 2 bathrooms are for the other 3 bedrooms.
The house is surrounded by a 3.000 sqm beautiful garden, with large relaxing areas with chairs, tables, under tall old trees, a gazebo, swing chairs and sun loungers.
The pool is 14mt long and 6 mt wide, with a "play area", about 1mt deep, and a diving area about 2,5 mt deep with a diving board. Pool has night lights and outdoor shower.
A very efficient wood burning oven is conveniently placed on the side of the garden.
A laundry area with washing and drying machine is in the little pool hut, where the wood oven is placed.
A chef service is available upon request.
A house manager is available for any emergencies or even simple clarifications about the house functioning and for suggestions about the area.

Nice house, with nice swimmong pool and great view

We have enjoyed our stay in this nice house, with four adults and three young children. The swimming pool was very nice. The only criticism is that the chairs at rhe swimming pool , the acces to the television, the cutlery etc.could be improved a bit.

A gem a little outside of town

Great space inside and out, secluded (a bit outside of Acqui Terme on a hill, bit still everything in walking distance) and therefor perfect for our party of 11 (6 adults, 5 kids from 7 - 13 years). We had lovely weather now in October, so we could also benefit from the pool. Alessandro who was there for us during our stay was very friendly and helped with everything. We really enjoyed our stay in Acqui Terme!

Great house with very nice swimming pools and outside seated area

We stayed at villa Madalena with three couples and small children. We totally loved the house, the pool, the pizza oven, the surrounding area and the Chef service! Thank you Alessandro for all the help and we look forward to return to Acqui!

Pleasant and calm vacation

The pool is definitely the highlight - Especially during a heat wave with nearly 40 degrees each day. Nice places in the shadow under the big old tree. Very supportive house manager Alessandro. Surrounded by great places to visit - restaurants, villages, fortresses, vineyards and cities like Asti, Alba and Turin.

Nice villa with excellent pool

10 of us stayed at Villa Madelena. The Villa itself is an excellent size. All the bedrooms were big and had plenty of room. The villa is a little dated but nothing that would ruin your holiday. The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything that we needed. We had lots of bbq’s & used the pizza oven one night. The pool was amazing - really big. We used it everyday and even had an evening swim. One of the reasons we chose the Villa was for the location as we wanted something within walking distance of the town and had a train station as some of the party didn’t want to hire a car. Both of these things were true, however, the Villa is half way up a VERY steep hill. One of our party is unable to walk very far so couldn’t venture out. Taxis are non existent and Uber don’t run in Acqui Terme so there is very little way of getting around other than walking or hiring a car. The centre of town was about a 15 minute walk away but beware of the hill climb on the way home. Some of our party hired a car for a week. I’m really glad we did as we wouldn’t have been able to do much at all. We visited some lovely local villages with Alba being a favourite. Acqui Terme isn’t a touristy place so you get a real feel for Italian culture. I would also take plenty of mosquito repellent, we all got bitten loads! We spent a small fortune on citronella candles which we lit during the evening. Overall we had a pleasant stay but I would 100% hire a car if I was to return.

Enorm genoten in villa Maddalena

Wij kunnen terugkijken op een fantastische week in AcquiTerme. De omgeving is prachtig maar vooral het huis, het buitenverblijf en het zwembad zijn geweldig. Het huis oogt wat ouderwets, maar dat is de charme.

Beautiful Villa Maddalena!

This is an incredibly place! The garden is amazing. Very well taken care of. There was plenty of space in the house. The rooms are large. No need for AC even with 30 degrees outside. The Villa centerpiece in daytime was the lovely swimmingpool, perfect for both young and old. If to hot seek shadow under the trees. In the evening lovely to gather outside by the big dining table. We need to give Maie a big blessing. She helped us so much during our stay. and she was a life savior when arriving late on arrival day, helped us with food and drinks. Such a nice woman as well. Thank you so much!! And before arrival Barbera gave us very useful information and advice. Thank you very much for that! We enjoyed our stay so much and would love to come back. We all recommend this beautiful Villa!

Très belles vacances

Très belle propriété avec grande piscine. Nous étions trois familles avec des enfants entre 2 et 11 ans. La maison est suffisamment grande pour que chaque famille ait son intimité.La température de la piscine était idéale. Enfants et adultes ont eu beaucoup de plaisir à se baigner. Nous avons fait appel 2x au cuisiner à domicile: c était très bon et très agréable d être comme au restaurant. En résumé: très bon séjour!!!

The perfect family holiday

We could not have found a more perfect place together with our two children and four grandchildren. The pool, the garden, the setting - everything so charming and well kept. Acquie Terme proved to be an ideal place for excursions in Piemonte, to famous wine districts and the town itself is lovely. Furthermore, many opportuniteis to talk walks uphill with tremendours views of the landscape. The lady managing the property was lovely and most helpful. We can only whole-heartedly recommend this place!

Traumvilla mit wunderbarem Anwesen

Wir (10 Erwachsene mit 3 Kindern und 3 Hunden) haben eine wunderbare Woche in dieser traumhaft gelegenen und ausgestatteten Villa mit einem super Pool verbracht. Es war alles vorhanden, was wir benötigten. Die Zimmer waren herrlich groß und wohnlich ausgestattet. Den Aufenthaltsraum haben wir selten genutzt, dazu gab es im Garten umso mehr Sitz- und Essgelegenheiten. Die Küche war komplett und bestens ausgestattet. Wir haben auch den typischen Pizzaofen benutzt und den vorhandenen Grill in Anspruch genommen. Die Hunde haben das weitläufige, eingezäunte Gelände genossen. Der sehr schöne Pool mit reichlich vorhanden Ruhemöbeln wurde von uns allen intensiv genutzt. Dieses Objekt kann nur empfohlen werden. Man erkennt, dass die Besitzerin dieses Haus liebt und entsprechend sehr viel Wert auf Ordnung, Sauberkeit und liebevolles "Wohlfühlklima" legt ,(wer investiert schon so viel in ein Bewässerungssystem für Blumen, Pflanzen und Rasen !). Die Begrüßung und Betreuung, bzw. Verabschiedung durch Maie, die Hausverwalterin, war auffallend freundlich und symphatisch. Vom Haus aus konnte man wunderschöne Wandermöglichkeiten nutzen - nach dem Aufstieg wurden wir mit einem herrlichen Ausblick über die gesamte Gegend belohnt. Der Ausflug ans Meer bei Savona durfte natürlich auch nicht fehlen, ebenso der Bummel durch Acqui Terme (der Markt am Freitag ist empfehlenswert). Ich bin mir sicher, das wir dieses Urlaubsobjekt nochmals in Anspruch nehmen werden.

Really recommend this place!!! We have had the best time. The house is even better then on the pictures. The Host was lovely and helped us with any questions we have had during our stay. The only negativ thing we’ve got to say about this place, is that the wife didn’t work at all. We are planning to come back, but this time a bit longer.

Wonderful villa with lots of character and an excellent pool!

Our family group of 13 adults loved Villa Maddalena with its extensive gardens and large pool! It felt very peaceful and private but is close enough to walk down the hill into Acqui Terme (charming streets and amazing hot thermal spring in the old town). The beautiful old house is well-equipped with comfortable furniture and all the necessary kitchen equipment to feed a large group – nice big cooker and plenty of fridge and freezer space, large pots and pans etc. We ate all our meals outdoors at the big table and enjoyed the different outside seating areas too. Prior to our holiday we found the owner, Barbara, quick to respond to messages and queries about the accommodation and keen to meet our needs. On arrival, We were greeted by Maie, who was very welcoming and friendly; throughout our stay she was on call and responded immediately to queries. We were all very sorry to leave when our wonderful holiday was over! Thank you Maie and Barbara!

Super 👍

Mega Unterkunft, typisch italienisch! Könnte sauberer sein, vorallem in der Küche! Aber das konnte mit Spülmittel und Wasser bereinigt werden!!! Was wir super fanden, dass jeder ein eigenes Bad hatte und das Haus so groß ist, dass jeder Rückzugsmöglichkeiten hatte, auch wenn es mal geregnet hat, waren gemütliche Sofas und Sessel da in die man sich mit einem Buch niederlassen konnte!!! Also alles in allem richtig schön! Kommen gerne wieder! Vorallem Maie ist super nett! ☺️

Der geeignete Orte für Ruhe und Entspannung

Sehr nette, hilfsbereite Vorortbetreuung. Das Haus eignet sich perfekt für eine Grossfamilie. Idyllisch gelegen in einem grossen Park mit einem sehr grossen Swimmingpool. Das ganze Haus war sauber und die Betten bereit. Einzig die Küche ist chaotisch. Es hat viel Material, Geschirr, Pfannen, Töpfe, usw. vorhanden, doch alles kreuz und queer in den Schäften verstaut. Die Besteckschublade läuft fast über und man kann sie nicht richtig schliessen. (doch wie gesagt, es ist alles vorhanden und wenn man sucht findet man) Das Aussenmobiliar ist eher unbequem und die Stuhlkissen sind veraltet. zwei der drei Sonnenschirme sind defekt. Vielen Dank für einen tollen Urlaub.
