You’ll be welcomed to Villa Aperitivo by a traditional atmosphere of the times gone by. Start each morning of your holiday with a refreshing bath in the private swimming pool in front of the stone house, finish with a glass of wine on the four poster sunbed with panoramic view over the Compitese hills, and, in between, enjoy amenities like a TV, Wi-Fi and a fully equipped kitchen. The house is also partially air-conditioned (bedrooms only).
The villa is a private farmhouse retreat bursting with charm and character. Step through its stone façade and into beautifully restored interiors with classic cotto floors, beamed ceilings and antique accent pieces. But there are playful touches of modern decor as well to make the Italian charm contemporary and luxury.
Named after the most beloved Italian state of mind -the Aperitif Time- Villa Aperitivo will impress its guests with its ideal lounge features: a view, luxury outdoor furniture, a fully equipped kitchen by the pool and a second kitchen by the outdoor dining area.
