Family

A totally relaxing and peaceful location. 16 of us enjoyed all the space and opportunities for summer family fun. Ika & Mario are the best staff I have ever encountered in years of villa rentals. Breakfast each day was incredible and Alberto is an evening meal star! They are thoughtful and incredibly honest with receipts and unspent money returned. They made our family feel wrapped up with love and care for a week. So many comfortable break out areas to use so this really is brilliant for a larger group. We didn’t want to leave. Thank you!

20th Anniversary Trip with 7 Couples - Amazing Time!

We stayed at this property for 5 nights with 6 other couples to celebrate our 20th Anniversary. The property is absolutely stunning. Stina was incredibly helpful when communicating with her prior to arriving to the vill and super responsive when we go there as well. Mario and Ika live on the property, and they are very attentive and kind. I would highly recommend coordinating a dinner with chef Alberto & Ika through Stina- the food was amazing and it was the best way to spend our first night! Make sure to use the google location she provides, it is the easiest way to find the house. You could comfortably sleep 16 in this home. It's awesome!

Italian paradise

The home itself is thoughtfully laid out, such that everyone could find 'space,' if desired, in addition to the eight bedrooms; with views of the lake and orchard and the scent of roses and jasmine everywhere. The caretakers were attentive and quick, but unobrtrusive. The kitchen was well stocked, equipment-wise, with some spices & condiments. The pool was perfect - set back in the garden, away from the house. We arrived on a cool day to find a fire in the fireplace awaiting us. Could not think of anyway to improve the spot. It was absolutely lovely. A short drive to charming Trevignano Romano, in a private and beautiful country setting (up a very bumpy driveway!) Italian paradise with Scandinavian sensibilities.

Fantastisk opphold

Villa Nova er enda finere enn i annonsen. Huset er svært romslig og har to separate deler, noe som var perfekt for oss som reiste med tenåringer. Kan absolutt anbefale middagsservice fra både Alberto og Ika, det var fantastisk. Ika fikset også frokost til oss som var helt supert. Vi hadde et utrolig hyggelig opphold!

Entspannende Tage in herrlicher Umgebung

Großzügig angelegtes, sehr gepflegtes Grundstück. Bestens geeignet für einen Urlaub mit Großfamilie vom Baby bis zur Großmutter. Pool besser zur Abkühlung als zum richtigen Schwimmen geeignet. Zahlreiche Möglichkeiten am, im und ums Haus zu verweilen dank der Terrassen. Super freundliche und hilfsbereite Haushälterin Ika. Hervorragend war auch der Koch Alberto. Geschmackvoll und sehr praktisch eingerichtetes modernes Haus mit allem was man braucht. Wir haben die Tage alle sehr genossen!

Stunningly beautiful hideaway close to Rome

The villa is huge – our family reunion had plenty of space for 10 adults and two kids. (There were even rooms we did not need). The view of the nearby lake is stunning, the overall atmosphere at the pool and garden is so peaceful. The interiors are a cosy mixture of a nordish and modern italian style. Ika (the maiden) and her husband Mario were wonderful too – she arranged breakfast and let us check out later so we could enjoy the house until the last of us had to catch our flight back home in the evening. The family reunion felt like home-away-from-home! Thanks for making that possible! :-)

Sehr schönes Ferienhaus, idylisch über dem Bracciano

Ein sehr schönes, großes Haus mit vielen großen Zimmer und hohen Decken. Das Haus ist oberhalb des Braccianosees und man muss eine Weile fahren, bis man am Haus ist. Das Haus liegt sehr ruhigen und abgeschiedenen. Man ist aber mit dem Auto innerhalb einer Stunde in Rom oder am Meer. Wir durften den Gemüsegarten mit Tomaten, Auberginen, Gurken, Melonen... nutzen. Der Pool ist etwas kleiner und etwas entfernt vom Haus mit einem tolle Blick auf den See. Die ganze Anlage ist nachts mit Solarlichtern beleuchtet. Das Angebot mit dem Koch war eine tolle Idee. Insgesamt ein toller Urlaub.

Just a fantastic trip

We spent 1 week of our family holiday in the house. We enjoyed every second. The house is great, it contains everything, you dream of, the location close to Rome and nearby the lake is just a dream. Lots of great restaurants in the villages close to the house. We have been welcomed by the 2 people that take care of the house and both were very helpful in everything wee needed. To sum it up, the stay was just fantastic. We can recommend it without any limitations.

Härlig stor villa nära Rom!

Ett underbart hus med mycket stor gård där det finns allt man kan önska sig för en eller flera barnfamiljer. Det som gjorde semestern extra fin var kocken Alberto som lagade middagen åt oss alla flera kvällar. Även bekvämt med husvakt som bodde i en del av huset men inte alls störde. Tack!

Excellent property , clean and spacious for a large family.

We loved our stay at Villanova. First of all, the pictures in this listing is captivating. I knew from the moment I saw them, I wanted to book it for our family's retreat. Communication with the owner was excellent in the beginning. However, months down the line, there were technical difficulties that prevented my messages from reaching the owner. After a while, I contacted VRBO to reach her and she was able to respond immediately. So, that part was resolved. I know communication would have been seamless if it wasn't for the technical problems but I still had to be honest on why I gave Communication with the Owner 3 stars. Communication with the Property Manager was great, I give that part 5 Stars. She used What's App and was very helpful with the language barrier. Therefore, I averaged Communication in General to 4 Stars overall. EVERYTHING ELSE IS 5 STARS!! I didn't notice that it didn't have A/C but the location was breezy and didn't stop us from enjoying the property. The home is ultra private, high on the hills of beautiful Italian countryside. With that being said, there were a few power outages but it was short and the housekeeper/groundskeeper immediately sprung into action when needed. The housekeeper, Ica, was truly wonderful. Prior to arrival, we only booked her to set up breakfast for us every other day. However, after the first breakfast, we decided to ask her to set up breakfast all the remaining days. It was simple yet fresh but so wonderful to have fresh coffee and fruits and pastries and cheeses and meats prepared for us daily. Clean up was taken care of by Ica as well. The cook, Alberto, was also wonderful. He made delicious authentic meals to accommodate our large family without us having to go anywhere! Alberto and Ica were heaven sent and made us feel at home. The pool was beautiful and it had toys for the kids to play with. There was a soccer set outside and plenty of games inside to keep occupied. The family all agreed that if the opportunity came back for us to come back to Rome, we would definitely love to stay here again. We highly recommend it!!

The perfect retreat for a group!

Our party of 16 (15 adults and 1 child) stayed at this villa for one week at the end of October and loved every second of it! Prior to our arrival, Stina was very helpful and responsive in answering all of our questions about the villa and the surrounding area. While finding the villa gave us some initial trouble, it was well-worth the search! The villa is located north of Rome, which made it an excellent home-base for any day trips into Rome or up north to the Tuscany region. However, the villa was so well-stocked with amenities, we all could have stayed at the villa every day and been completely content! Even as a large group, we were very comfortable as the villa is VERY spacious (the photos don't do it justice!); the villa is split into two villas, so there were two kitchen, living, and dining room areas which was perfect for our group. The villa was also extremely clean and well-kept. Mia, Ika, and Mario greeted us upon arrival to show us around and help us get acclimated which was wonderful after a long flight into Rome. If we ever had any questions, all three caretakers were available and very responsive. Ika was available to make breakfast (which we took advantage of one morning), otherwise the beautiful town of Trevignano Romano was about a ten to fifteen minute car ride away (where there is a small grocery store at which we bought breakfast and lunch groceries). The villa has a pool, trampoline, soccer/football nets, and many other outdoor activities. The backyard overlooks the lake and the front yard overlooks an olive orchard - breath-taking views from every angle! We highly recommend this villa for large groups or just anyone who wants to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and relax!

Fantastisk uke

Vi var en storfamilie på 12 personer som tilbragte en uke i VillaNova. Villaen svarte absolutt til våre forventninger. Den var innholdsrik og smakfull, og vi storkoste oss. Det var nydelige uteområder med varierte sitteplasser, et deilig bassengområde som ble flittig benyttet av både store og små. Kvelden hvor Alberto, kokken vi kunne leie, laget en fantastisk italiensk middag var også en suksess. Området innbyr også til utflukter, både korte og lengre som for eksempel en dagstur til Roma. VillaNova kan anbefales på det varmeste.

Absolutely gorgeous villa and location!!

We recently stayed in this villa with our extended family. There were 13 of us (ages 5-70) and we were very comfortable. The villa itself and the grounds made for a very relaxing place to unwind after our sightseeing tours in Rome and Naples. There were many times that our kids would ask if we could just stay at the villa and swim and explore! The grounds and house are very well maintained. There are flowers in bloom everywhere you look, and the outdoor sitting areas are a fabulous place to enjoy morning coffee, or an evening glass of wine. Our family also enjoyed the outdoor shower....very serene and relaxing. We could have just stayed at the villa and never left!! We arranged for Ika (the maid) to set-up breakfast in the mornings, which was a fabulous way to start the day! The food was wonderful, and the view at breakfast was beautiful. We also had Alberto (the chef) prepare a couple of meals for us during our stay. He is an accomplished chef, and it it was a treat to be able to relax, at "home" with all of our family and be served such fabulous meals!! Truly a memorable experience. We took the opportunity to explore the local towns on Lake Bracciano, and those are some of our fondest memories from the vacation! Walking around Trevignano and eating lunch on the lakeshore, and exploring Castello Oldescachi in Bracciano (with dinner on the square afterwards)....definitely worth taking the time to do!! No matter what part of Italy we explored, each day we were thankful to come back to the villa and relax!! It is such a beautiful, tranquil place....inside and out. Our Italy vacation was made better by staying here :)

Really lovely villa, very well equipped, spacious and lovely grounds

Our party was 15 people at its maximum and we were not crowded at all. The villa is very spacious and very well equipped; bedrooms are generously sized, plenty of bathrooms and lovely living areas. Kitchens are well equipped with all you could need. Gardens are well maintained, large and with a nice view of the lake. My only slight disappointment was that the pool is quite small and set in the corner of the grounds, well away from the villa itself, but that was only a minor issue. The drive from Rome airport is easy and took less than an hour. A maid and a chef are also available to arrange breakfast (the maid) and/or to cook dinner; we used them and they were lovely and also cooked us 2 fabulous dinners. I would thoroughly recommend the villa and might well go there again.

Wonderful stylish, spacious villa for large groups

A real villa: thoughtful, roomy & stylish. Not a rustic restoration of a dusty dark Italian farmhouse but a bright, livable, welcoming home. An abundance of rooms and restful outside spaces allowed for a large family group to enjoy a holiday together but with ideal separation and space to relax. Close to great amenities of the nearby lake-shore towns and restaurants - and of course convenient for Rome's shops and sights. Owner Stina was enormously welcoming and helpful with hints and tips about how to enjoy the house and surrounding area. A Stina-recommended Chef and helpful housemaid made the holiday even more pleasurable with great family feasts and breakfast services. Website photo's and descriptions are very accurate - but worth adding that the house has a lived-in feel and so not 'too stylish' or austere. Kids were never out of the pool or off the trampoline! Restaurant L'aqua dell Donne is especially commendable.

we highly recommend this place to other People.

We were 4 families living in the house for 2 weeks, 10 children and 8 adults. 4 families in different shapes and sizes, fit perfectly in this large house, and we had a lovely vacation. The outside of the house was perfect in every way. Different places to sit down, eat, play, socialize and relax. Kids were playing, running, swimming all day – having a wonderful time. Quiet nights on the terrace, with some good food and wine, made our days complete. Getting there was also quite easy, and being close to some small villages around the lake made it possible for families to take day trips and experiencing more than the house could offer. Nicely situated on the country side, but close enough to what else you might want or need. We would definitely go back, and we highly recommend this place to other People.

a perfect venue for an unforgettable vacation

Love at first sight! This beautiful, stylish home overlooking the lake of Bracciano is lavashing. Owner Stina has managed to create a home for a carefree vacation. We had a wonderful summerbreak with family and friends, celebrating a milestone. Villa Nova and the area offers everything for young and old. We spent many happy hours around the garden, pool or the cosy veranda's. A visit to Rome is only 1/2 hour away. Authentic restaurants, little bars in Trevignano and the lake just down the road. Perfect! Bella Italia at its best.
