An elegant stone farmhouse, in the untouched heart of Valle Umbra, Villa Rosy is located in the midst of a nine hectare olive grove on the gentle hills of Mount Subasio. Only 3 km from Assisi, the estate enjoys splendid views over the valley with the towns of Perugia and Montefalco in the distance.
In this rich sunny countryside, which is the cradle of great wines and excellent extra virgin olive oil, everything leads our guests to taste the joy of life whether it be laying in the shade of an ancient oak or in a romantic arbour, strolling around the villa enjoying the perfume of rosemary and lavender or gliding silently in the sky at the paragliding school 800m away from the villa.

Review submitted by non-Villarenters customer: Villa Rosy far exceeded our expectations! The Tonti family was more than helpful and hospitable. My son and his friends who were with us had great times running through the olive grove and up the mountain slope. We had some of our best meals made with the San Potente olive oil at the Villa. The view were gorgeous, especially the sunset! The only thing I would change about our visit--is to make it longer. We had a wonderful time and we are already planning our return visit and trying to get all our friends to come with us! Mille Grazie!!!

Villa Rosy! "Malto Tranquil!" As Nello, a wonderful taxi driver, would say as we would drive down the Olive Tree lined lane. The combination of the MOST BEAUTIFUL VIEW we had ever seen and the HOSPITALITY of the Tonti family made our first visit to Umbria a most UNFORGETABLE experience.
The Villa with it's stone and wood work was an art piece in itself - meticulously renovated! The kids loved playing in the olive groves and chasing a lizard or two. My husband and I enjoyed riding the bikes up the hill to Assisi or down to town. On a beautiful afternoon, my mother-in-law and I ejoyed a walk down from Assisi. We were lucky enuough to enjoy pleasant conversations with residents along the way as they shared smiles and one a sprig of fresh Rosmary. (Marcia used it to make the most wonderful dinners of Pork and an amazing stew.)
I could go on and on. What Ever you do - don't miss out on a wonderful dream- Villa Rosy!

We have stayed at B&B's around the world and Villa Rosy is THE BEST!The setting is unbelievable - in the middle of an olive grove, overlooking Assissi. Add to that a beautiful house, gracious hosts and a bottle of San Potente Olive Oil, and the result is magical. We had a family reunion that will never be forgotten. We look forward to being guests at the Tonti's other properties. Special thanks to our English speaking tour guide!

Villa Rosy exceeded our expectations. What a wonderful and welcoming retreat. We'll always remember our relaxing time here. Thank you for your hospitality. Mille grazie.

We enjoyed our stay in your house very much. Your house is one of the best houses in Italy, equal to a 4 EPIS FRENCH GITE. It is the only Italian house we have found where we were able to open the windows because of the insect screens.
We found the family very helpful in particular their daughter who spoke very good English.

Chers hôtes, nous avons passé une semaine merveilleuse, riche en impressions et nous avons goûté le charme de cette oliveraie autant que la gentillesse de votre accueil. Merci pour tout et à bientot à Cachan.
Sophie A. & Peter S., France & Germany

De retour à Paris et n'ayant eu l'occasion de vous saluer avant mon départ, je vous envoie un amical bonjour en vous félicitant pour la qualité de votre accueil. Nous avons passé une excellente semaine à la villa Rosy de Rivotorto et dans cette région magnifique. Toutes mes amitiés à vous et votre famille.

Paolo, thank you for the "gift of olive oil, salt, coffee and Biscotti" - very much appreciated. What a wonderful memory and time we had in Umbria in your beautiful Villa Rosy. We loved meeting you as well.
The view, the apartment, your local cuisine and the sensational weather contributed to a fantastic holiday in Rivotorto!

Abbiamo passato due bellissime settimane: bel tempo, un attrezzato e bellissimo appartamento in mezzo a ulivi e fave, un ambiente culturale con numerosi documenti estetici e storici. Grazie a tutti voi che vi avete cooperato: Paolo, il sole, Iddio creatore di queste bellezze naturali ed i nostri antenati che ci hanno lasciato tanti gioielli di cultura. Partendo a casa, ci rimangono dei bei ricordi - ed un po' di nostalgia.
Walter & Ursula D., Krefeld - Germany

What a wonderful place, especially when the sun shines. Calendimaggio was a very special and unique event. Sopra! Sopra!
Joyce S., Vancouver - Canada

We all had a great time and wanted to thank you for your Umbrian hospitality. We especially enjoyed the barbecue, which was a very pleasant surprise.

Herzlichen Dank für alles – wir haben uns bei Ihnen rundherum wohlgefühlt!!
Schon die Beschreibung im Internet hatte sich schön angehört, aber als wir in der Villa Rosy ankamen (nach 3 Tagen in Rom) wussten wir – hier werden wir uns wohlfühlen. Das wunderschöne Steinhaus liegt inmitten eines großen Olivenhains am Fuße des Monte Subasio – weit ab von der Straße, mit herrlichem Sicht über das Valle Umbra, auf Assisi und die umliegenden Hügel und Dörfer.
Nach einer herzlichen Begrüßung überreichte uns unser Vermieter Schlüssel und ein Körbchen mit Kaffee, Zucker, Salz, selbstgebackenen Plätzchen und selbstgepresstem Olivenöl von den zum Grundstück gehörenden Bäumen. Oft genossen wir beim Abendessen in Garten den Sonnenuntergang hinter Perugia und die funkelnden Lichter im Tal zu unseren Füßen. Das nahe gelegene Assisi (ca. 2 Km) mit seiner lebendigen Piazza und seinen verwinkelten Gässchen ist uns in den zwei Wochen sehr ans Herz gewachsen. Aber auch unsere zahlreichen Ausflüge sind uns noch gut in Erinnerung, denn durch die zentrale Lage der Villa Rosy sind die vielen sehenswerten Städte Umbriens in weniger als einer Stunde zu erreichen (Perugia, Todi, Orvieto, Lago Trasimeno etc.).
Wir werden sicherlich wieder zurückkommen, vielleicht das nächste Mal mit Freunden die große Wohnung mieten – mit 4 Schlafzimmern und 2 offenen Kaminen.
Nicht zuletzt durch die Fürsorglichkeit und Freundschaft der Familie Tonti war der Urlaub rundum gelungen!
Viele Grüße.
Eva K. & Hansjörg M., München - Germany
