I visited this villa in the Umbrian countryside just too late to take part in the olive harvest but saw the olive pressing carried out locally a couple of days after I arrived. The property is surrounded by glorious countryside where vines and olives appear to thrive. I am keen on wine and have been involved in supplying the hospitality industry in the past so was delighted to find a collection of great quality wineries in the area and enjoyed some superb wine tastings as recommended by the owner. Some tastings included a delicious lunch to accompany the wines while enjoying the wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. There is plenty to explore in the area with several historic towns to visit in both Umbria and Tuscany which is close by. There is a great choice of restaurants to suit most tastes and budgets with most restaurants focussing on locally sourced ingredients which celebrate local dishes. The villa itself is over 100 years old and is tastefully decorated to reflect its location and style.
This was our 16th stay at the villa: every year since 2006 except for the Covid years. It may have been our best stay yet even though it was the latest in the year. We love the fact that it's not too far a drive from Rome, the fact that Florence, Assisi and Sienna are close enough for perfect day trips although we now spend most of our visits to Cortona and other wonderful Tuscan and Umbrian hill towns. This time, we even tried out an ancient Roman bath! Spent some time picking olives and witnessing the pressing of the fruit into wonderful olive oil. The bedrooms and baths are all more-than ample and quite well done. Self catering is great with a well-equipped kitchen. The views are spectacular--especially looking over the vineyard and valley behind the villa--and there's a great winery NEXT DOOR. We shared this visit with folks from Ireland and the UK as well as a family from the US. So.... great times, great people, great lodgings, great location and great times. Pretty damned close to paradise.
We had a lovely stay at the Villa! Holiday of a life time! The villa is beautiful & the surrounding area is astonishing. We packed so much into our week so feel like we really experienced Italy. The Villa is within easy reach of many amazing places including Rome, Pisa, Florence and Tuscany. Can’t wait to visit again!
We had a fabulous week here. Situated right on the Umbria/Tuscany border we could access both regions easily. The Villa is spectacular and the winery next door sells great wine for less than ten Euro a bottle!! Anna is brilliant to deal with and left us detailed info on the best places to visit & eat. Totally recommend !!
I went to Villa Gioianna with my family for the second time recently and it was very lovely. We had an amazing time in the area and the rooms were so antique and delightful. There was a little kitty there who our family named little pumpkin who was so sweet, he was a bit skittish at first but warmed up to anyone who gave him food. The owner stayed in constant contact with us and provided us with lists of good grocery stores and restaurants in town. Would definitely come here again with family.
Anna was a most attentive and helpful host throughout our 14 day stay. Thirteen of us from four generations of the same family - aged 2 to 75 - had a fabulous stay at Villa Gioianna - the well-maintained pool was big enough to accommodate all of us, and our noisy children loved having the run of the extensive estate, in complete safety and privacy. We had two wonderful cooks who prepared and served us our delicious suppers, and one of whom - Nonna - gave the children a memorable treat in the form of a hands-on lesson on how to make fresh ravioli. There are wonderful visits to be had locally in beautiful, unspoilt Umbria - but the best times were spent relaxing in and around this beautiful property. Thank you, Anna, for arranging everything so perfectly for us.
