Villa Tempesta  

Description from the manager

Gorgeous panoramic views, a private swimming pool, and elegant furnishings are only three reasons why three couples should rent this villa in the Italian region of Veneto. Situated on three different levels, there is enough room for everyone to each enjoy a sense of privacy and tranquility, especially since each bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom. A beautiful outdoor setting with resort-style chairs and sun loungers will surely win you and your group over when you're not out visiting the nearby towns of Venice or Verona while staying at this self-catering accommodation.

[5 hectares] Situated on top of a quiet hill in Asolo, this eleva...ted property offers gorgeous panoramic views of the valleys below. A terrace, which is accessible from the living room, with tables, chairs, umbrellas, and sun loungers surrounds the private swimming pool [2m x 8m]. The property is behind an electric gate and parking is available for up to two cars within the property grounds. There is another house behind the villa belonging to the same owner although it is vacant.

This villa is located one kilometer from the center of the village of Asolo where there are local artisan shops, boutiques, restaurants, and markets. Dating back to pre-Roman times, Asolo has had many famous people as residents, including the English poet Robert Browning. At the end of the 1400's, it was home and prison to the Queen of Cyprus, Caterina Cornaro, who now has a castle named after her that is open to the public. Other notable sites include the Cathedral, which was built in 1747, and the City Museum. Asolso is also a great place to take peaceful walks to enjoy the scenery. During the summer months, there are live concerts and music festivals. The medieval town of Treviso is about a 20-minute drive from the property and it's a definite place to visit due to its charm. While canals, squares, and frescoed houses line the streets, there are designer stores, art galleries, ancient churches, and wine tasting opportunities. Other possible day trips include Padova, Venice, and Verona.

  Mary's review of Villa Tempesta

  We enjoyed the property, which we shared with another couple.
  The set-up of the bedrooms and baths was excellent for privacy.
  
  The outdoor deck with pool looking out over the valley was lovely. The evening sunsets and moonrise were spectacular.
  
  We used La Tempesta as a base to explore the Veneto and Dolomites. We enjoyed being able to visit many lovely towns and indulge my special passion--villas designed by Palladio.
  Follow the Prosecco Road and, if you are daring, drive the hairpin road through the Dolomites.

  John's review of Villa Tempesta

  Left on 08/25/2012 for a stay in August 2012
  
  

  Excellent. This is the nicest villa we have rented, and we have been renting for over 20 years.
  
  It is completely and beautifully equipped, with everything just as the owner claims. But, the really remarkable thing is the view. If you know Asolo, at the top of the hill above it is the Rocca fortress. People climb the steep trail just to see the Veneto from above. But, just East of this is another hill and the highest house on this one is Villa Tempesta the advantage is that you can drive to to this private view and see it by standing up in the swimming pool.
  
  Lots of small towns to visit, each with a few spots that make the guide books. Very green and flat, except for the hilltop places like Asolo.

  Joyce and Metty's review of Villa Tempesta

  Left on 10/08/2011 for a stay in September 2011
  
  

  Absolutely fabulous! Villa has all the top of the line appliances and kitchen filled with everything you would have in your own home (or would like to have). The housekeeper was wonderful and the caretaker of the house was very gracious and helpful.
  
  The view was outstanding. Setting terrific! Everything top of the line.
  
  The road to this villa is somewhat challenging. The narrow, winding road could be a problem for some renters. We were hesitant to come back to the villa at night because of the road. Once we got used to it, we were fine. Also, one of the bedrooms was a little smaller compared to the rest of the villa.
  
  Loved the peace and quiet of this small hilltop town. Town was lovely and somewhat upscale so everything very clean and tailored.

  Joanna's review of Villa Tempesta

  Left on 10/31/2009 for a stay in October 2009
  
  

  Villa Tempesta was simply beautiful. I found it quite difficult to want to leave the patio for anywhere else, as the vista of the Venetian plain (and the local castle!) could set anyone's mind at ease. The home was stylishly and tastefully decorated containing traditional furniture with contemporary twists.
  When venturing out, the walk to town is a serene gravelled road lined with trees through which one catches glimpses of Dolomites.
  
  The home was very well maintained and situated close to town, readily accessible by foot. Michela, who met me and gave me the keys, was very nice and helpful. The lady who came to clean was also lovely.
  
  None!
