make sure to read the details below, but: the structure of the villa is beautiful, the huge garden/park has potential IF (big if) the owner puts in the needed time, love, and money.
before arriving there, the owner called us on the phone saying we have to bring cash as their credit card reader doesn‘t work at the moment (if you go through older reviews you can clearly see that this has been the case for quite some time). our room (junior suite) was € 216.-. when we checked out, his employee had the correct price for our room on his mobilephone, however, tried to ask for € 260.- (my fiancee put € 250.- on the table and he asked for more!) when i realized this, i told him and he was playing innocent. on top, they didn‘t have change. this is impossible if your credit card reader doesn‘t work and you expect your guests to pay in cash. luckily, another guest who checked out too payed some euros too much to cover the difference — thanks again to this unknown friend.
the building itself was beautiful once. however, its not clean, some of the things are broken (stairs (which were just fixed when we arrived), tea mugs with broken handles
the park/garden is in bad condition (plants are not taken care of, building materials and garbage everywhere), if you walk up to the animals, everything looks unfinished, animal dung on the stairs through the park.
they have two quite big dogs running around on the property. they are well behaved but we weren‘t introduced to them and one night after dinner, we came back to the property and they were barking and ran towards us. that‘s the first time we‘ve met them. not necessarily the best experience either.
the pictures were taken loooong ago. it doesn‘t look and feel like this anymore.

An elegant historical villa with antique furniture and art and also a nice painting collection makes it an amazing place to relax! The owner Bruno and his staff were very attentive and incredibely helpful ! .. and the most friendly was the dog Sharik ( especially after when he received from us a big piece of meat after dinner in restaurant .)))
Breakfast was really delicious with enough choice ,very fresh and good quality. We enjoyed our crumbled eggs with cherry tomatoes from the garden. Our room had a big nice balcony with round table and chairs and large new bathroom with nice view on the garden. I loved the beautiful mint coloured walls in our room! We had coffee and thee in our room , water and beer in the fridge. Our daughter had a also a very pretty room. The Villa is surrounded by beautiful trees what keeps the house cool , we switched off the cooling system and enjoyed summer nights.
I did read reviews where guests give 1,0… common guys… i should not want to have such guests in my property !! We were happy to have parking for free in this area and behind a closed gates what you can sleep and not be worried about you car and if you can’t park nicely ( there is plenty place) ask owner Bruno , he wil do it for you! Otherwise you can always book a hotel with standard services and random surroundings.

- Offered a glass of Prosecco as welcome on arrival (free of charge)
- Villa with great potential, big garden
- Good shower
We can see a lot has already been said by previous guests but we also had a pretty terrible experience (first time I give a bad review on booking, usually I’d rather support hospitality entrepreneurs than complain) at a very high price (220€). Once we realised the whole place was very different than what was displayed on booking,the owner had already taken the amount for the room in cash, so he was far from accommodating. He recognised the photos were misleading and said he was going to correct this on booking. He only then accepted to give us 20€ back, but trust me for 200€ you could get something significantly better anywhere else. He showed us a “better” room but said we had to give the 20€ back because it was an upgrade, which felt like a joke after having been fooled like that.
To summarise:
- the owner asked us to pay before seeing the room, all in cash
- Photos of the room make the whole place look definitely better maintained and prettier than it actually is, but above all be prepared to have a completely different room than you have booked. For 220€ we got a very small room, very old with a squeaky bed and 1 plug for the whole room.
- Dismal atmosphere, no light in the stairs, the place feels abandoned same goes for the garden which is poorly maintained.
- We slept in a boiling bedroom despite opening the windows (no aircon or even a fan in Italy in August).
- Breakfast was really bad as well - the food was terrible and the tables were dirty.

beautiful villa in a nice location, very lovely atmosphere and super kind host
Room could use a bit more maintenance and care in general. I would have expected a few more toiletries in the bathroom and some coffee & teas to use for the room.
Breakfast was pretty standard and not very “interesting” for vegetarians

It's one of my best experiences that we had in italy which gives a piece of mind and the fact that the owener takes care of the place great and clean and spotless. I think we will be coming back in the future for a longer stay.
Wish we could stay longer.

The property was breathtakingly beautiful. Someone in the comments said it was old: that person doesn't understand historic buildings! Of course it's old, that makes it so wonderful and gorgeous! The building was very well maintained, had beautiful artwork everywhere and just oozed royalty and luxury. Our apartment had ceilings so high you could fit a giraffe ;) and we felt like a count and countess staying there. We had a large balcony with views of the village and lots of trees. There was so much space in our apartment, we loved it! And everything was very fresh and clean and looked very well maintained.
Outside there was a patio with a fountain and some flowers, where we had breakfast and sometimes dinner as well. Surrounded by large trees, with some views of the village and cute lights it was nice to hang out there. Breakfast was nice, just enough choice and good quality food. Dinner was also nice.
Up the hill there was more garden with wandering chicken, horses and a goat. Bruno was a great host. He told about the history of the property and all the artwork. He showed us all the other rooms after people left: the attic was also amazing!
You could also play the piano if you want, or go for a hike or lesson with the horses. In the near future there will also be a spa with infinity pool!
It could be quite warm in the apartment. The windows open gave enough cool air but as I'm sensitive to light that woke me kinda early. I would've preferred a ceiling fan or something.
Breakfast could have had a bit more variety and preferably fresh juice in stead of the usual juice from a carton. But we loved the fresh bread and fresh cut fruit.
We thought the kitchen would actually be a kitchen but it was only a little hotel fridge (full with drinks),a sink and a microwave. The lock on our door was a bit of a challenge haha.

Bruno the owner was very professional and approachable, there was a misunderstanding during the booking procedure and so the they before our arrival we have been told that the villa was not available , however Bruno offered many option and we decided to stay in the chalet inside the villa’s
garden which was very pretty.
the villa itself is amazing and well kept, perfect for relaxation and recharge the body.
breakfast was served in the villa’s garden which was even better than inside with quiet a few variety and good quality.
there was a leaking problem with the sink in the chalet bathroom, other than that everything else was really nice.

Our room gave access to a private tower (yes !) with a splendid view over the surroundings. The owner Bruno was adorable and professional. He gave us a bottle of prosecco for my girlfriend's birthday, and some fresh eggs when we left. The villa was astonishing, and quiet.

We loved our stay! We didn’t even know our room had a tower and were baffled. Breakfast was delicious and the staff was nice.

We spent two days in Villa Alceo and appreciated every moment of our stay. The apartment we were staying was very spacious,; two bedrooms , a study, kitchen and bathroom. We had a magnificient view from our balcony.
The only thing I regret about the place is that we couldnt stay at the attic! It was excellent! So next time I will try to reserve it in advance!
We were there to celebrate my daughter ‘s birthday. We had birthday dinner served in the beautiful living room of the villa. The food was simple but tasty. We appreciated a lot the company of Wolfie, their dog.
The most exciting part of the birthday for my daughter was to have horse riding classses with Bruno! Excellent host and instructor!
Maybe more choice for breakfast!
