| We zijn de tweede week van juli in Magnolia geweest. Het was perfect. Groter als gedacht, on-italiaans verzorgd (dus alles werkte perfect) en een zeer goede gastheren. Zeker iets om weer naar terug te gaan. De foto's op de website spreken voor zich, in werkelijkheid is het mooier! |

| We had a great vacation at Villa Rosy. The house is spacious and comfortable, secluded and private. The view over the valley is fantastic, the pool is delightful and we enjoyed taking all our meals on the lovely patio under the pergola - always comfortable even on the hottest days. There is no shortage of things to do in the area and the Tontis are friendly and admirable hosts; they come by nearly every day to look after the place but they don't get in the way. |

Unica parola , meraviglioso. Posto stupendo in mezzo agli ulivi, nel mezzo del più alto concentrato di cultura e storia d'italia, una casa dove ritrovare la pace interiore concedendosi anche una sinfonia gastronomica senza pari. Da non perdere l'ottimo olio di produzione propria dei titolari.

| How fun it is to arrive at a property you have selected based on photos, and have it much nicer than you had expected. The only downside to our visit (besides taking a few wrong turns) was the rain and we can't imagine why Corinna was unable to do anything about this. We didn't have an opportunity to use the pool, but the views more than made up for it. What a comfortable location to use as a base after making trips to Assisi, etc. We even used the well appointed kitchen to serve up some wonderful meals, but they could not top the great,affordable food we had in the area. All in all, a very positive experience for our family!! We'll work hard to afford the trip back sometime. |

| I wanted to second the comments posted by my mother. Villa Rosy is beautiful- the perfect location for a family vacation! The villa is beautiful, clean and well-appointed. The view is spectacular and you hear the church bells every morning. You are accessable to major roads but still in a private, secluded location. We hope to return someday! |

| Absolutely the best family vacation ever. It has been one year since our three week stay at villa Rosy. Our children and five grandsons still speak fondly about it and want to go back. The beauty of the umbrian valley, the olive grove, the the charm of the hill towns and the peace and spirituality are unsurpassed. Signore Paolo was most gracious and went out of his way to help us retrieve our lost luggage. The Italian people, the shopkeepers and restaurant workers were very helpful, generous and friendly. The grandsons (ages 9 to 18) especially enjoyed the pool after a hot day of sightseeing. Vlla Rosy exceed all of our expectations. It was beautiful,comfortable and well appointed. |

| Our famiy stayed at the Villa Rosy in late May 2007. The area is beautiful, and the setting of the building is very scenic - up a long driveway in the middle of olive groves. We stayed in both apartments, and they were both excellent. The owner, Paolo, was great - helpful at all times. He went "over and above" when helping me with rental car issues. I would highly recommend this destination. |

| Four of us(the space could easily accommodate 6-10) stayed at Villa Rosy in late May, 2006; it was a magical week. The views, the fresh produce, the wonderful kitchen and outdoor eating spots, the pool, the roses, and all the facilities. I cannot imagine a more wonderful spot to spend time with friends and/or family. Although we enjoyed all our hilltown day trips, we almost hated to leave Villa Rosy for them. Coming "home" was always a treat. |

Thinking about traveling to Italy maybe to spend some time in the countryside?
Well think no further than staying in Umbria—The Green Heart of Italy-- at the Villa Rosy near Assisi.
Diane and I have traveled quite a bit in Italy, did Tuscany and loved it, but this time we spent a month in Umbria at Villa Rosy. What a wonderful experience we had, or as the Italians say, meraviglioso. And Umbria has the added advantage of great valleys and mountain overlooks.
Villa Rosy is one of those stone constructed country homes that has all the amenities--except American TV. Situated among over a thousand olive and nut trees, it was truly a bit of heaven and away from chaotic cities, yetless than two miles from Assisi.
Signore Paolo, the owner, made every effort to be hospitable even going so far as to treat us to bruschetta-- Umbrian style-- on hot wood coals, novella wine from the recent harvest, and showed us the way to really make Florentine steak, again on oak coals. All this and
we even roasted chestnuts on a open fire.
Not too bad eh?

| Villa Rosy far exceeded our expectations! The Tonti family was more than helpful and hospitable. My son and his friends who were with us had great times running through the olive grove and up the mountain slope. We had some of our best meals made with the San Potente olive oil at the Villa. The view were gorgeous, especially the sunset! The only thing I would change about our visit--is to make it longer. We had a wonderful time and we are already planning our return visit and trying to get all our friends to come with us! Mille Grazie!!! |

Villa Rosy! "Malto Tranquil!" As Nello, a wonderful taxi driver, would say as we would drive down the Olive Tree lined lane. The combination of the MOST BEAUTIFUL VIEW we had ever seen and the HOSPITALITY of the Tonti family made our first visit to Umbria a most UNFORGETABLE experience.
The Villa with it's stone and wood work was an art piece in itself - meticulously renovated! The kids loved playing in the olive groves and chasing a lizard or two. My husband and I enjoyed riding the bikes up the hill to Assisi or down to town. On a beautiful afternoon, my mother-in-law and I ejoyed a walk down from Assisi. We were lucky enuough to enjoy pleasant conversations with residents along the way as they shared smiles and one a sprig of fresh Rosmary. (Marcia used it to make the most wonderful dinners of Pork and an amazing stew.)
I could go on and on. What Ever you do - don't miss out on a wonderful dream- Villa Rosy!

| We have stayed at B&B's around the world and Villa Rosy is THE BEST!The setting is unbelievable - in the middle of an olive grove, overlooking Assissi. Add to that a beautiful house, gracious hosts and a bottle of San Potente Olive Oil, and the result is magical. We had a family reunion that will never be forgotten. We look forward to being guests at the Tonti's other properties. Special thanks to our English speaking tour guide! |

We enjoyed our stay in your house very much. Your house is one of the best houses in Italy, equal to a 4 EPIS FRENCH GITE. It is the only Italian house we have found where we were able to open the windows because of the insect screens.
We found the family very helpful in particular their daughter who spoke very good English.

Comme toujours... l'Italie, cette fois-ci l'Ombrie, nous a jeté un charme étrange qui donne envie de revenir approfondir ce que l'on a juste eu le temps d'entrevoir. Nous avons apprécié la magnifique vue et un peu moins le concert de chiens qui se répondent (bien sûr) la nuit! Ils ont sans doute gardé cette habitude depuis St François. Quel idéal de pureté dans un si beau lieu. C'est donc à une prochaine fois!

Bei der Ankunft sagte Noah, als er die Olivenbäume sah: "Das sieht ja schön aus, das kann nicht sein..."
Wir haben einige sehr schöne und geruhsame Tage in dieser wunderschönen Umgebung genossen. Herzlichen Dank für die Gastfreundschaft!

Paolo, thank you for the "gift of olive oil, salt, coffee and Biscotti" - very much appreciated. What a wonderful memory and time we had in Umbria in your beautiful Villa Rosy. We loved meeting you as well.
The view, the apartment, your local cuisine and the sensational weather contributed to a fantastic holiday in Rivotorto!

Abbiamo passato due bellissime settimane: bel tempo, un attrezzato e bellissimo appartamento in mezzo a ulivi e fave, un ambiente culturale con numerosi documenti estetici e storici. Grazie a tutti voi che vi avete cooperato: Paolo, il sole, Iddio creatore di queste bellezze naturali ed i nostri antenati che ci hanno lasciato tanti gioielli di cultura. Partendo a casa, ci rimangono dei bei ricordi - ed un po' di nostalgia.

Herzlichen Dank für alles – wir haben uns bei Ihnen rundherum wohlgefühlt!!
Schon die Beschreibung im Internet hatte sich schön angehört, aber als wir in der Villa Rosy ankamen (nach 3 Tagen in Rom) wussten wir – hier werden wir uns wohlfühlen. Das wunderschöne Steinhaus liegt inmitten eines großen Olivenhains am Fuße des Monte Subasio – weit ab von der Straße, mit herrlichem Sicht über das Valle Umbra, auf Assisi und die umliegenden Hügel und Dörfer.
Nach einer herzlichen Begrüßung überreichte uns unser Vermieter Schlüssel und ein Körbchen mit Kaffee, Zucker, Salz, selbstgebackenen Plätzchen und selbstgepresstem Olivenöl von den zum Grundstück gehörenden Bäumen. Oft genossen wir beim Abendessen in Garten den Sonnenuntergang hinter Perugia und die funkelnden Lichter im Tal zu unseren Füßen. Das nahe gelegene Assisi (ca. 2 Km) mit seiner lebendigen Piazza und seinen verwinkelten Gässchen ist uns in den zwei Wochen sehr ans Herz gewachsen. Aber auch unsere zahlreichen Ausflüge sind uns noch gut in Erinnerung, denn durch die zentrale Lage der Villa Rosy sind die vielen sehenswerten Städte Umbriens in weniger als einer Stunde zu erreichen (Perugia, Todi, Orvieto, Lago Trasimeno etc.).
Wir werden sicherlich wieder zurückkommen, vielleicht das nächste Mal mit Freunden die große Wohnung mieten – mit 4 Schlafzimmern und 2 offenen Kaminen.
Nicht zuletzt durch die Fürsorglichkeit und Freundschaft der Familie Tonti war der Urlaub rundum gelungen!
Viele Grüße.

Wie viele andere Kunst-und Sonnenhungrige aus dem nördlichen Europa zog es auch uns dieses Jahr nach Umbrien. Und wie viele andere auch hat uns dieses Land begeistert. Wir hatten noch zusätzlich Glück. Bei der Suche nach einer schönen, möglichst bei Assisi gelegenen und bezahlbaren Ferienwohnung stießen wir im Internet auf das Angebot der Wohnung „Magnolia“ der Villa Rosy, ca. 2 Km von Assisi am Hang des Monte Subasio gelegen. Bei Ankunft erwies sich das Quartier noch schöner als auf der Webseite dargestellt: Lage träumhaft, Ausstattung prima, die Vermieter herzlich.
Vielen Dank, wir empfehlen dies gern weiter und kommen sicher wieder.
Grazie.

Wir haben 3 Wochen in der sehr schönen Villa Rosy, Wohnung Magnolia verbracht. Die Ruhe, die landschaftliche Einbindung und die einmalige Aussicht haben uns begeistert. Die Wohnung ist sehr gut und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, es fehlt an nichts. Die Familie Tonti ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Umgebung bietet jedem etwas, Kultur, Geschichte, Religion, Sport und Spaß. Wir haben uns sehr gut erholt und werden noch einmal wiederkommen.
Amiamo l’Umbria e Villa Rosy.
