About this house rental

A former rectory in 1600 which unites within its walls the silence and the secrets of everyday life peasant. To comply with its spirit any radical intervention upset the building: so the past can live in harmony with the modern needs. In attics, where once gathered supplies for the winter, there are now bedrooms framed by small windows: small pictures that they find between patches of olive and cypress walls of Perugia. In the distance Mount Subasio Assisi with its rich history and spirituality. Annexed there is a chapel (1659) dedicated to the Annunciation: its belfry vigil discreetly on the house and the garden of fragrant lavender and herbs.

A beautiful, centuries-old house surrounded by the greenery of Umbria. The house is vast, clean, and of an antique-decor style that me and my partner love. The goats and chickens were amiable companions also! And our brief meetings with Marida, Piergiorgio, and Dante were a real pleasure, they came across as kind, caring people and were lovely to have a chat with.

Excellent stay in this wonderful house. Quiet place, animals in the garden, and very close from Perugia & other places in Umbria. Piergiorgio was a wonderful guest.

My husband and I had a delightful Thanksgiving getaway in this unique, charming house. Piergiorgio was an amazing host - very helpful and responsive. The house, views, garden, goats and family of fowl made our stay relaxing and fun.

La Olivella will seduce all who love the beauties of Italy. A fine old stone house set in hills with wonderful Appenine views, including Assisi set on the flanks of Monte Subasio, illuminated by the setting sun, and lighted through the night. It is difficult to describe this ancient house. I will just write of four of my personal joys. Passing to swim early each day through a grove of Olive and Fig. The vast and beautiful main bedroom. The elegant dining room. Long evenings dining outside. On behalf of one of my four guests I must also mention the household goats and hens which she delighted to feed. And finally Sig. Dante, the owner's right hand man, always willing to come and help and charm us.

What a treat this was for a family of 7 who are scattered all around the country. The house met all of our needs and the area our dreams. The three goats helped us forget our dogs and the chickens and their eggs helped us feel like farmers. It was a fabulousl experience and Piergiorgio our host was wonderful. We hope to return in the future.

I stayed at this beautiful and welcoming house for 6 nights with my family. When we arrived we could not believe our eyes, we felt so lucky. The house is large spacious and tastefully furnished, with everything you could possibly need and so many thoughtful finishing touches. We loved staying there and our children thought we were in a castle. The garden is very large and well maintained, the pool is lovely and refreshing. The owner Piergiorgio is incredibly kind spirited and generous, a pleasure to talk to. We will definitely go back when we visit perugia again.

L'Olivella is a charming old world farm house which has been updated but not modernised, leaving the beauty of the old ways but without the hardships. There were four of us staying and we thoroughly enjoyed it. You have to work at it in some ways but it is worth the experience Thank you Piergiorgio for sharing your property

Olivella is a beautiful old family home with room and space for at least seven people. The pool was chilly at this time of year but we still managed to use it several times. Lots of places to sit in the garden and enjoy the view of Perugia and the countryside. There are no restaurants or shops nearby but there is public transport on the hour into Perugia if you haven’t a car. We were more than happy just to enjoy the peace and quiet of Olivella. The owner, Piergorgio, was extremely helpful and we very much appreciated him picking us up at the train station

Our joint families of six people had the pleasure of staying in this paradise for a week. We can honestly say that we couldn’t believe our luck when we arrived at the house! A beautiful old house full of charm with plenty of room for 3 couples and two extra single rooms. A lovely garden area with breathtaking views of Umbria’s green countryside and even fresh figs growing in the garden. A fantastic location for exploring all of Umbria’s gems, no more than an hour’s drive to Orvieto and Spoleto, with Perugia and Assisi even closer. Pier-Giorgio who owns the house could not have been more helpful and welcoming, he answered all our questions and was a charming host. This house is a gem and we loved it! Already planning a return to la Bella orviella next summer

We had a lovely 11 days staying at the Olivella. We were a party of 6 and our ages ranged from 9 to 65. The house offered something for us all but would probably not be suitable for families with very young children due to the wide brick staircases. Please do not expect all the modern conveniences, however, everything you need is available (including a record player and plenty of vinyl - my 9 year old enjoyed picking a record for us to listen to during breakfast) PierGiorgio is a friendly and helpful host. Mr Dante also pops in every other day to look after the garden. The gardens and location is beautiful and Piergiorgio generously offered for us to help ourselves to any fruit or vegetables that was ready to harvest from the gardens (tomatoes, peppers, figs, plums). The Olivella is just outside Perugia (car hire a must) and is handy for a local supermarket and petrol station as well as a 15 min drive to the station (we took the train for a day trip to Rome), 60 mins to Assissi, 90 mins to Siena. We really appreciated the opportunity to borrow PierGiorgios lovely family home for our holiday.

We stayed with our 4 children at The Olivella for just over a fortnight and found both the property and region to exceed expectations. Having visited Italy on numerous occasions previously, the fact that we could get to the airport at Perugia in around 20 minutes yet feel we were hours away really added to the location of this property. More than that, Perugia is around 10mins away with plenty of good restaurants and sights along with many charming towns and villages. We visited Florence, Assisi and Rome during our stay - all within a drive away. Piergiorgio was the perfect host and we look forward to visiting again.

We had a five-night stay in the old house and it became an important part of our vacation in Umbria. The several hundred years were always present in the different rooms, many with stone floor and portraits on the walls. It was like living in a museum. Also, someone with a very artistic talent (perhaps Piergiorgios mother?) had collected things in nice arrangements everywhere you looked. This is not a place for modern luxury but for someone who wants to experience old times. We stayed in the house in the beginning of April and the house was a bit chilly in some rooms despite heaters, the house is probably perfect in May and summer. We felt very welcomed by Piergiorgio and his mother. The garden and views were wonderful as well. We will talk about this special house for years!

We had a perfect stay in Piergiorgio's villa. We were met by Piergiorgio and his mother, they were very welcoming and could not have been more helpful throughout our stay. The villa is in a perfect location for visiting Umbria's top attractions. The garden is stunning, a perfect place to relax. The villa itself is authentic and filled with antiques and original features. Such a unique and interesting place to stay! We would highly recommend it and would return.

WOW, what an amazingly beautiful property. It is the fulfillment of everyone's dream of the house you want to live in for the rest of your life. Full of history, antiques, charm and comfort it truly is the perfect vacation home. The location is beautiful and convenient, overlooking a valley and gorgeous sunsets. While there we saw the most amazing DOUBLE RAINBOW that any of us had ever seen. The house is very close to Perugia, one the most beautiful towns in Italy and close to other gorgeous towns such as Assisi, Spoleto and Spello. Piergiorgio and his mother were the most gracious, accommodating and warm hosts imaginable. I highly recommend a vacation in this amazing home in a truly breathtaking part of Italy.
