Villa Maddalena is an ideal holiday family house. It is set on a hill on the edge of the thermal town of Acqui Terme, in the heart of Piemontese area renowned for its wines and food. It is surrounded by a beautiful garden, a very comfortable swimming pool area, and many well-equipped outside dining and sitting areas. The house is within short driving distance from 4 main airports: Genoa, Milano Linate, Milano Malpensa and Turin. From the house one can reach the town on foot (15 to 20 minutes walk), or on a bicycle, and just at the bottom of the hill (5 minutes walk), there is a grocery shop, butcher, pharmacy, newsagent and ice cream shop, while the town itself offers excellent restaurants, music events, thermal water treatments, local markets. To our guests we offer the possibility to have a Chef Service for lunches or dinners.
The house is on 2 floors: on the ground floor you find a large eat-in kitchen that opens up in front of the dining tables on one end and towards the living room on the other end. The living room has a large sofa, and another 2 smaller sofas, 4/ 5 chairs scattered around and a round table with another chair that we use like a desk. The inside dining room is hardly ever used in the summer, it has a dining table that can be enlarged to seat about 8/10, there is library with some books and VCRs. Further on, on the same floor, there are 2 bedrooms: one is a double bedroom with access to a private garden and the other one is a 3 beds children bedroom, that opens towards the garden. On this floor there are 2 bathrooms: one is ensuite to the double bedroom but it can be also be accessed by the children' s room, the other one is adjacent to the children bedroom. Indoor stairs and outdoor stairs lead up to the second floor, where one finds a pleasant smaller living room opening up to a balcony overlooking the garden and the pool and 2 areas: each has a double bedroom and a 2 twin beds bedroom, sometimes the tween beds are put together to make it a double bed. Also there are the 3 bathrooms : one is en-suite to the master bedroom, and 2 bathrooms are for the other 3 bedrooms.
The house is surrounded by a 3.000 sqm beautiful garden, with large relaxing areas with chairs, tables, under tall old trees, a gazebo, swing chairs and sun loungers.
The pool is 14mt long and 6 mt wide, with a "play area, about 1mt deep, and a diving area about 2,5 mt deep with a diving board. Pool has night lights and outdoor shower.
A very efficient wood burning oven is conveniently placed on the side of the garden.
A laundry area with washing and drying machine is in the little pool hut, where the wood oven is placed.
A chef service is available upon request.
A house manager is available for any emergencies or even simple clarifications about the house functioning and for suggestions about the area.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2024
We have enjoyed our stay in this nice house, with four adults and three young children.
The swimming pool was very nice.
The only criticism is that the chairs at rhe swimming pool , the acces to the television, the cutlery etc.could be improved a bit.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2023
Great space inside and out, secluded (a bit outside of Acqui Terme on a hill, bit still everything in walking distance) and therefor perfect for our party of 11 (6 adults, 5 kids from 7 - 13 years). We had lovely weather now in October, so we could also benefit from the pool. Alessandro who was there for us during our stay was very friendly and helped with everything. We really enjoyed our stay in Acqui Terme!

We stayed at villa Madalena with three couples and small children. We totally loved the house, the pool, the pizza oven, the surrounding area and the Chef service! Thank you Alessandro for all the help and we look forward to return to Acqui!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2017
Such mixed feelings about this place!
The positives- a fantastic pool, great for small children and adults due to its size, the diving board and steps. The outside area was generally very good, plenty of parking and areas for seating and for the children to explore. The general location is very good.
Lots of space inside, but some of the furnishing inside was quite tired, and quite randomly resourced - e.g. not enough wine glasses, teaspoons, no mop, some dodgy electrics!
The housekeeper was very helpful and Guido the chef and his helper were both great, we really enjoyed their service.
Our checkout time was 10am. By 8am people were already on site deep cleaning the pool so the children were unable to go for a final swim as planned. I received a message the night before departure letting me know maids would be collecting laundry at 9am on the day of checkout. I said we would be ready to leave at 10 but if we had to, we understood that laundry would be taken at 9. By 9am lots of people arrived, stripping beds and generally cleaning - we felt like we were in the way. I don't think this is acceptable when check out is 10am. 10 am should mean the house is yours until this time.
There is also the issue of the 250 euro cleaning fee. This does not appear in the invoices, and is hidden in the small print of the overall house description. Surely cleaning a house is part and parcel of renting a property? It would be much better to be honest about this cost in the overall invoice. Mine was held back as part of my breakages deposit.
