Tolles Haus zum Entspannen und Abschalten
Ich habe das Holiday House Petrarca im Juno 2022 mit Familie und Freunden besucht. Buchung / Check-In / Check-Out: 5 * Klappte ohne Probleme. Wir haben das Haus über Fe-Wo Direkt gefunden und gebucht, Klappte ohne Probleme. Das Haus könnte aber auch ohne Probleme auch direkt beim Vermieter gebucht werden. Der Vermieter fragte vorab wann wir ca. eintreffen würden und hat uns vorab mit allen nötigen Anfahrtsinformationen versorgt. Die Kommunikation war absolut unproblematisch. Lage: 5 * Das Haus liegt etwas über der Gemeinde Arqua Petrarca und bietet einen imposanten Blick über das Dorf und das Gesamte Umland. Die Zufahrt ist etwas steil, wodurch ins Besondere der Fussweg ins Dorf ins Besondere der Rückweg etwas beschwerlich ist. War bei uns allerdings auch nicht notwendig, da wir es genossen haben uns während unseres Aufenthaltes selbst zu verköstigen. Im Dorf Arqua Petrarca ist alles sehr touristisch, es finden sich Tankstelle, Bars und Restaurants, aber keinen Supermarkt. Diese findet man aber in grosser Anzahl in ca. 15 Minuten Entfernung in Monselice. In Monselice findet man auch einen Bahnhof mit grossem Parkplatz. Ein guter Ausgangspunkt für einen Ausflug nach Venedig. Das ist Haus ist idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge nach Padua, Venedig, Bologna, Verona oder mit etwas längerer Fahrt auch dem Gardaland. Das Haus: 5 * Das Haus verfügt über 2. Etagen. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich neben der Küche auf der Wohnbereich. Ebenso findet man ein erste Bad (WC). Im zweiten Stock befinden sich drei Schlafzimmer. Eines mit einem Doppelbett, zwei mit jeweils zwei getrennten Betten. Das Zimmer mit dem Doppelbett hat eigenes Bad (Dusche, WC). Die beiden anderen Zimmer teilen sich ein Bad (Dusche, WC). Eine Klimaanlage gibt es nicht ist aber in Planung, Dies braucht es allerdings auf Grund der dicken Mauern wohl aber auch nur an sehr heissen Tagen. Bei uns hatte ca. 32 Grad und es war immer Inneren stets angenehm. Ausstattung: 5 * Alles was man benötigt ist eigentlich vorhanden, von der Bettwäsche über Handtuch bis zum Toilettenpapier. Im Bad findet man sogar Seife und Duschgel. Auch die Küche ist bestens ausgestattet, wir haben einen Toaster vermisst, aber man konnte sich mit dem Backofen behelfen. Ebenso gibt es einen Fernsehen, einen DVD Player und WLAN. Dieses ist Mobilfunk basiert, und daher sehr langsam. Ist eben der Lage des Hauses geschuldet, daher auch hier kein Abzug. Sauberkeit: 5 * Hammer, so Sauber sollte jedes Mietobjekt und Hotelzimmer sein Host: 5 * Matteo der Vermieter, wohnt im Haus nebenan und spricht Italienisch, ordentliches Englisch und auch ein wenig Deutsch, Er freundlich, höfflich und stets hilfsbereit. Er hat zahlreiche Tipps und Informationen für Eure Ausflüge. Matteo hat zwei absolut liebenswerte Hunde, welche sich auf dem Gelände befinden. Allerdings sollte das Aufspringen und Abschlecken an Gästen ein absolutes Tabu sein. Ausserdem könnte es hilfreich sein, die Gäste vorab über die Hunde zu informieren. Auf Grund seiner hilfsbereiten und freundlichen Art und auch der Liebe zu seinen Tieren gibt es dafür "sicher" keinen Abzug. Fazit: Super Preis-/Leistungs-Verhältnis, Es gibt geringes Verbesserungspotential, aber dennoch ein grosser Daumen nach oben und wir sagen "Gerne wieder".

Pace, natura ed animali da coccolare
Visuale stupenda tra uliveti e colline, un panorama stupendo. Tutto coronato dall'accoglienza super coccolosa di 2 cagnoloni dolci. Senza tralasciare l ospitalità e la gentilezza del gestore Matteo. Persona molto disponibile con un amore per i suoi animali e progetti. Troverete ad aspettarvi l'asinello Botto e le sue compari caprette e galline. Un toccasana per il vostro soggiorno e per il vostro umore!!! Da ritornarci il prima possibile. Grazie a presto

great stay
We had a great stay here. The accommodation was great. We were high up and so had amazing views. It was clean and Matteo was always on hand to help. Lots to do in the area and a lovely fireplace to relax with when you get back. We will be coming back here as we felt that we ran out of time to see everything. Secure parking too, a great find with great owner who were happy to help and offer advise if you wanted it.

We have just had a wonderful week staying at Holiday House Petrarca. It was so lovely. Set on a hill you look out over olive trees to the medieval village of Arqua' Petrarca, where Petrarch lived out his days. On a clear day you can see the Tuscan hills to the south, and Bologna from the hammock on the front lawn. The house is beautifully clean, spacious, and well appointed with beautiful paintings and antique furniture. So beautifully quiet and relaxing. Matteo is a considerate, knowledgeable and friendly host, and is an excellent communicator. The village is lovely, having been judged one of Italy's most beautiful. There are many options for eating at a variety of local restaurants. The walk back is uphill so we always took the car. What is more, there is a putting green on the front lawn and one of our party joined Matteo for a relaxed game of golf at the local 9 hole golf club which has very good practice facilities, a nice little club house and the course is a good test of golf. Matteo provided a spare set of clubs. He also hosts bass fishing in the area. The Euganean hills are a beautiful part of Veneto and Arqua' Petrarca is well located for visiting many lovely towns in the area. The nearest train station is Monselice woth a good regional service.

Un angolo di paradiso!
Se immagini un piccolo angolo di paradiso, circondato dalla natura, con un panorama mozzafiato ed una villetta confortevole e funzionale in tutto e per tutto, alloggiare all’HH Petrarca rispetta e direi super di gran lunga le tue aspettative! Io ed il mio ragazzo abbiamo alloggiato qui un paio di notti a fine Ottobre...non siamo mai stati più contenti per aver prenotato proprio qui! È davvero una piccola gemma in mezzo ad una collina silenziosa e rilassante. Il panorama è davvero stupendo (lo era con un cielo nuvoloso autunnale, non “oso” immagnare lo spettacolo che sarebbe nei periodi più caldi!) e la location è perfetta! Sei immerso nella natura ma pur sempre a 2-3 minuti di macchina dal centro di Arquà Petrarca, funzionalissimo per comprare il necessario, dalla frutta e la verdura fresca al pane appena sfornato e per qualche pranzetto, cenetta o piacevole aperitivo tra le caratteristiche vie del paese. La casa ti lascia davvero senza parole! Funzionale in tutto e per tutto, utensili di ogni genere, dalle stoviglie e gli utenzili da cucina, a cambi lenzuola, asciugamani ed utensili da bagno. Il tetto con travi a vista, le pareti rustiche ed un caminetto “da competizione” sono per i miei gusti davvero una chiccheria! Ah quel caminetto, j’adore! Fuori hai a disposizione un giardino panoramico bellissimo con tanto di gazzebo ed amaca, davvero un oasi di pace per chiunque! Ho dovuto connettermi al wi-fi per una chiamata di lavoro, la connessione una bomba e in un ambiente del genere, mai stare al pc è stato cosi rilassante! :) In fine, ma non per importanza, Matteo, l’alloggiatore, una persona davvero squisita!! Sempre disponibile, amichevole e per il quale nulla sembra mai troppo disturbo! Ci ha accolti in serata al nostro arrivo con gentilezza e professionalita, dandoci tantissime raccomandazioni e suggerimenti di vario genere per i nostri gg di permanenza, dalle passegiate rilassanti lungo i sentieri dei colli Euganei ai luoghi più attrattivi ad Arquà o nei paesini limitrofi. Ci siamo dilettati in picevolissime chiacchierate e sm stati cosi bene che il tempo è davvero volato! Un alloggiatore cosi fa davvero la differenza! :) Speriamo davvero tanto di tornare con la bella stagione...quel giardino e quel panorama sembra ci stiano davvero aspettando! ;) Grazie ancora Matteo, a presto!

Einfach die Seele baumeln lassen...
Diese Ruhe findet man heute nur noch selten, fernab von Lärm und Stress kann man hier in einem modernen, sauberen, geschmackvoll eingerichteten Haus einfach die Seele baumeln lassen. Die Hängematte, ein Buch, der Duft der Olivenbäume und das gekrönt von diesem einzigartigen Blick ins Tal und auf die untergehende Sonne. Die Kinder haben viel Platz und Matteo ist nicht nur als Fishing-Guide, sondern auch als Ansprechpartner für Sehenswertes und Gastronomie im Umland Gold wert. Wir werden wieder kommen ;)

Awesome!
One word describes the stay in this beautiful house in a breathtaking landscape the best: Fantastic! The complex is located in the middle of an olive grove a bit remote from the small village Arqua Petrarca. This makes it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The house itself impresses with its idyllic character, and as I already stated above - away from traffic and tourism, it invites you to relax. The whole area is very well maintained and clean. The host Matteo, is very polite and accommodating. He leaves nothing to be desired for his guests! All golf enthusiasts even have the opportunity to improve their putting skills, as there are two lovingly designed putting greens on the grounds. Furthermore, the region offers the opportunity to specifically target the black bass. The owner himself is an avid angler and even offers a great guiding service. We've used his service twice now, and he's a real expert in the field, and we love to go on the hunt with him on the rivers nearby. All in all, the perfect place to relax, rest and go fishing. What more do you want??? We will definitely be back :-)

Lovingly restored old house - fully equipped with all amenities - fantastic view over the valley & Euganean hills.
Arqua Petrarca is the perfect base to explore local villages in the Veneto plain, Euganean hills and further afield to Venice, Padua and Verona. The village has small bars, Enotecas and traditional food. Also a small bakery - need to check opening times with Matteo - not predictable! We enjoyed the steep walk from the house to the village, but its not for the less mobile! Matteo is a keen golfer and has a small putting green on the property - he also runs fishing trips. Worth asking him for up to date information about local festivals and where to go Prosecco & wine tasting. Our group of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our holiday!

Fantastic and joyful experience!
It was a very nice experience!! We've rented this property for our wedding celebration and a small vacation with family. For both occasions it was just perfect: very beautiful views of the mountains, the house is nice and clean, inside you have all you need to enjoy your stay. The territory around the house is surrounded with an olive oil trees, and you have enough space outside just to sit and relax watching sunset in the mountains ;) The host was very friendly and helpful. In a 10 min. walk you have a medieval village Arqua Petrarca to visit and in 40 min. you can get to the seaside by car. The best word to describe this place is Fantastic, we really did enjoy our stay ;) Thank you Matteo!!

Lovely Home & View of the Euganean Hills With A Golf Motif
My girlfriend and I spent a week at this lovely home near Arqua Petrarca called the "Holiday House". While we had a small challenge locating it, once we did we were very delighted with the accomodations. Our host, Matteo, met us and proudly showed us his glorious home and estate. He gave us a tour of the house and all its amenities. It was spotlessly clean and loaded with things to use in the kitchen. We told Matteo we were interested in playing some golf. He was happy to hear that being an avid golfing fan himself. He showed us his well-manicured putting green and said feel free to use it. He also said we could play the "hole" he created in front of his house provided the windows were closed and shuttered (We didn't dare but he was sincere in his offer). In the evening of our first night, Matteo graciously shared some sausage he had barbecued...a very thoughtful gesture...just typical of his overall hospitality. He also lent us a set of golf clubs to use while we were there, again very generous and saving us a few bucks when we eventually played at nearby courses. Matteo was a kind, fascinating individual who does bass fishing tour guides and also maintains a decent sized olive grove. He was a great host, checking in on us but was never overbearing. I would recommend this fine, relaxing home enthusiastically to anyone visiting the area. There were only 2 of us but the house could easily accomodate a large family and more! I wish Matteo all the best. Marcus & Renee
