Upon our arrival we knew this was the perfect place for our
Italy vacation. The ivy covered villa had plants and flowers
adorning all the terraces. In side was beautifully furnished
for a country home. We were close enough to the major
tourist cities, yet we still had the serenity and the
peacefulness of the beautiful countryside. There were 8
people in our group and a baby. Everyone was so
impressed.There were plenty of places to go off and be by
yourself to read or just enjoy the beautiful views from one
of the terraces.Being away from the crowded cities we were
able to see the real Italy.The people were so nice and
friendly. The restaurants made sure you enjoyed your
meal.(especially Ristoante da oliviera in Viterbo)The food
and wine were the best.This is our second trip to Italy and
we would recommend staying in the villa.We have traveled all
over the world and this by far one of our best vacations
ever!Anna and Alasandra are so sweet. They even remembered
our anniversary. They provided everything you could possibly
need, even a baby crib.The meal Dolores prepared for us was
fantastic.It was nice taking a leisurely stroll through the
park like grounds after a day of sightseeing.The bocce games
were a lot of fun too.We enjoyed the hill top towns.Anna had
told us about the festival they were celebrating in Orte. We
really enjoyed that. Also Villa d'Este in Tivoli and
Assisi.We hope to make it back to the villa some day. It was
a magical experience.

A Great Place to have a Great Time
Our group of seven friends and family, aged from 28 to 66,
fully enjoyed our one week stay here in late April of 2009.
The house and grounds were fully as nice as advertised, as a
matter of fact, they exceeded our expectations. The
surrounding vinyards, orchards, and fields were fragrant and
colorful with spring blossoms. We were really delighted with
the location.
The owners are very nice people and were extremely helpful
to us before and during our stay. Their suggestions for
local restaurants and activities were just great.
We spent one week in Tuscany and then one week here in
northern Lazio, and although our villa in Tuscany was
terrific, with all the most modern conveniences, we wound up
liking this villa and this area better. The villa seemed
more authentic, and more relaxed, and the people in the
nearby towns are more friendly than in the tourist-laden
area to the north.
We took the train into Rome one day, and had no problems for
a great day of sightseeing. The villa is well located for
visiting hill towns in southern Tuscany and Umbria and we
drove to quite a few of them. Certainly our favorite
activity was visiting the farmers' markets in the nearby
towns. The local produce, cheeses, and meats were just
great, and we had fun making pizzas in the wood-fired oven
at the villa. We hope to visit Villa LeTerrae again some
day, and we certainly recommend it for anyone who would
enjoy a taste of authentic Italian living in a villa that is
delightfully out of the ordinary.

Beautiful Italian Villa
Having never been to Italy, I must say that I have fallen in
love with this beautiful country and its people. Staying at
this villa made me feel so "connected." It's such a good
feeling to have this "home" to return to after traveling for
the day, be it to historical Florence, wonderful Siena,
ancient Rome. Some of my favorite places were Lake Bolsena,
Spoleto, Siena, all of which are nice day trips from the
villa. But for an authentic experience, just go to the
closest hill towns, so beautiful and welcoming and charming.
The locals treated us as if we were one of their own.
Staying at the villa gives one a real Italian experience. A
short (5 min.) car ride away is the town of Vasanello, where
we would go into the town and get our groceries and whatnot
to bring back to the villa. Talk about feeling like one of
the locals. This villa is a gem, away from all of the hustle
and bustle of the big city, and yet conveniently located to
all that this region of Italy has to offer. Renting a car is
a must but driving is not a problem at all and Rome is just
an hour away.
This villa has everything that one would need and is
spacious enough for large groups. There's even an outdoor
wood-fired oven and bocce ball court. After the day trips,
we would sit on the verandah with our wine and just unwind
and enjoy the quiet scenery. I highly recommend le Terrae
for an unforgettable, authentic Italian vacation.

Great for groups
What a wonderful, pleasant place to spend two weeks! The
surroundings are bucolic and quiet. The setting is
quintessential Italy with vineyards, olive and hazel nut
orchards, rolling hills and vistas of distant mountains.
My wife, our daughter, son-in-law and their two children
stayed at Villa Le Terrae in August. The villa had ample
room for us to spread out without feeling crowded. We
relaxed at the villa, visited many towns and cities from
Assisi to Tarquinia and cooled off on the hot days at Terme
di Orte. There is too much to see in a week. Even with two
weeks we still had places on our list we did not have time
to visit.
The villa, designed by architects as a family vacation home
is lovely, well laid out and comfortable. It was clearly a
family home. The several terraces, from which the villa
takes its name, are perfect for a relaxed breakfast,
reading, writing in journals and chatting over glasses of
local wines. Watching the sunset from the terrace is a
calming way to end a day of sightseeing.

Lovely Villa
This is a great place to stay if you have a car and are
willing to drive near and far from the villa i.e. within 30
to 90 minutes. We visited the following towns while staying
here for one week: Soriana, Tuscania, Todi, Calcata, Assisi,
Bevagna, Monefalco, Spello, Speleto, Deruta, Montepulciano,
Pienza, Montalcino, Sienna, Bevagreggio (sp?) and of course
Vasanello among others. You MUST see Assisi, Montefalco,
Spello, Deruta (if you like cermaics otherwise, don't),
Montepulciano (my favorite) and Orvieto which I went to
later.
The information given on the website is extremely accurate.
The villa is wonderful,beautiful, and very European.
Gorgeous landscaping. Tons of space, washer, no drier,
plenty of bathrooms! I went with 6 women and we were fine...
but American hair driers didn't work here even with
converters but the hair dryer provided was adequate. My hair
didn't look that good the whole week but I didn't care. Just
go with it!
You will not be disappointed if you stay here, beautiful,
very roomy and comfortable. Lots of steps with three
floors...very quiet.
