Why choose Villa Gioianna?: The most delightful activity for some at Villa Gioianna is simply contemplating the surrounding natural beauty. The Villa sits serenely against an achingly beautiful backdrop of centuries-old villages and great folds of countryside covered in vineyards, sunflowers and olive groves. In the Summer, when the air is heady with the scent of rosemary, lavender, honeysuckle and jasmine, it can sometimes be difficult to abandon poolside sunbathing for other, more strenuous activities. Nearby, however, Umbria and Tuscany offer an embarrassment of riches of art, architecture, gastronomy and stunning landscapes. We provide an oasis of tranquility where you can enjoy the gentle pleasures of a house furnished with European antiques, comfortable beds and down-filled sofas, and then venture out to explore some of the most beautiful medieval villages and towns on this planet, together containing an estimated 20% of the world's artistic heritage. Please visit our website for more info and photos.
We provide more than just a place to stay.: We know your time in Italy is short and would be happy to assist you with the details that will make your stay with us special. We don't just leave you with a list of local sights and restaurant phone numbers. An English- and Italian-speaking manager lives nearby and is on call to help guests, be it a simple restaurant reservation or more complicated requests. We have a large and ever-expanding amateur knowledge of charming, hard-to-find places we can personally recommend for sightseeing, dining, wine tasting, shopping or just exploring. We work with two excellent local cooks, available upon request and payable separately, who can prepare a delicious, home-cooked meal for you or teach you some of the secrets of Umbrian cuisine. If you'd like an unusual experience or just a knowledgeable guide, we can also recommend local tour guides who know the area intimately and offer unusual excursions that take you behind the scenes of the unique lifestyle and culture of Umbria and Tucany.
Special Celebrations, Offsites and Workshops:: We would be pleased to host your special event, such as a landmark birthday, wedding, wedding anniversary or family reunion, and assist you in creating a memorable celebration for you, your family and friends. By choosing to hold your next workshop or off site at Villa Gioianna, you can combine education with a relaxing atmosphere, beautiful surroundings and great food. We have hosted week-long workshops for quilters, musicians and book clubs, and weekend corporate off sites for small groups of corporate executives. Our corporate guests appreciated the opportunity to get to know their colleagues in the relaxed surroundings of the Villa and its grounds; one remarked how he particularly enjoyed the ambiance of sharing a meal around a table in front of a warming kitchen fire. Our artistic guests are inspired by the natural beauty and rich culture. We encourage artists, musicians, writers and academics to come and would be delighted to discuss a week-long or long weekend program.
Golf: There is a 9-hole course approximately 20 minutes from the Villa and several 18-hole courses within a hour's or so drive.
Guest Book: I can't communicate to you how wonderful our trip was to your Villa. It was one of the best vacations of my life and I can't wait to come back again and again. The house is so beautiful and I have to admit it doesn't feel at all like a rental with all your personal touches and exceptional high quality in terms of what you've put in it. (MPW, NYC) The Villa's amazing location, the garden with its herbs, olive groves and vineyard, beautiful architecture and furniture, the pool . . . it's even hard to name all the elements that made my stay so relaxing and energizing at the same time. (Ewa, Warsaw) I really didn't want to leave and the whole thing was quite idyllic. The Villa really is like something out of a film -- and what you have done to it is stunning. Are you sure Jeremy Irons isn't hiding somewhere in there? (Olivia, London) What can we say? this was the most amazing week in Italy we have ever had. The Villa is so special. (Allison, David & family, London)
