VILLA GIANESSA IN THE TERRA VERDE RESORT
About the Castle Hotel
Villa Gianessa, Kissimmee - A Private Oasis for Families
Villa Gianessa, situated in the Terra Verde Resort, offers a refreshing alternative to the standard Orlando hotel experience. This is not a place for those seeking the curated polish of a grand urban hotel, but rather a private, spacious haven for families or groups who value their own territory. Managed by a professional host, it aims to deliver a comfortable, self-contained vacation rather than a full-service resort experience, making it a distinct option for the discerning traveler.
Location
Conveniently positioned within the entertainment district and close to the airport, Villa Gianessa's location offers a practical base for exploring the wider Orlando area. It's a stone's throw from the 192 Flea Market, providing ample opportunity for those with shopping on their agenda. For the theme park enthusiasts, the iconic Epcot(R) and Disney's Hollywood Studios(R) are within easy reach, as are family attractions like Green Meadows Petting Farm and the expansive Shingle Creek Regional Park. While it lacks the immediate "in the thick of it" feel of a theme park hotel, its proximity to major thoroughfares ensures accessibility.
Style and Character
Villa Gianessa presents itself as a collection of individual vacation homes, meaning the 'style' is less about a singular design vision and more about the individual character of each unit. These are privately owned residences, meaning you'll only share the immediate amenities with your own party. Expect a functional, family-oriented décor rather than cutting-edge design. The emphasis here is on space and privacy, a quiet counterpoint to the manufactured excitement of the nearby attractions. It's a place designed for relaxation and togetherness, a private escape after a day of theme park adventures.
Service and Facilities
The primary amenity at Villa Gianessa is the sense of private ownership and space. You are within a resort that offers communal facilities, including two outdoor swimming pools and a fitness center. For more active pursuits, an outdoor tennis court and a sauna are also available. While the professional host manages the property, the day-to-day service is akin to renting a private home. The standout features are undeniably the private pools and private spa tubs accompanying each accommodation, offering an exclusive level of relaxation. Public areas provide complimentary WiFi, a sensible provision for staying connected.
Rooms
Villa Gianessa offers six air-conditioned accommodations, each a private escape with its own pool and spa tub - a significant draw for families or groups seeking solitude. These are individually decorated and furnished, meaning a degree of variety is expected. Expect separate sitting areas, providing distinct zones for relaxation. The kitchens are comprehensively equipped with full-sized refrigerators, stovetops, microwaves, and dedicated dining areas, enabling guests to self-cater with ease. Bathrooms include deep soaking bathtubs and hair dryers. Entertainment is catered for with 47-inch LED televisions offering premium digital channels, DVD players, and even video-game consoles. Practicalities like washers/dryers and coffee/tea makers are standard.
Food and Drink
As a vacation home rental, Villa Gianessa is designed for guests to take charge of their own culinary experiences. The well-equipped kitchens in each unit are the focal point for dining, allowing for intimate meals shared with your own group. For those seeking respite from cooking, the Terra Verde Resort does feature a bar/lounge, offering a convenient spot for a casual drink. Beyond the property, the surrounding area of Kissimmee provides a vast array of dining options, from quick bites to more formal establishments, catering to every palate and budget.
Value for Money
The appeal of Villa Gianessa lies in its offering of private space, particularly the individual pools and spa tubs, at a price point that can be highly advantageous for families or larger groups compared to multiple hotel rooms. When factoring in the ability to self-cater, the overall value proposition becomes even more attractive. It's a choice for those who prioritize private amenities and space over the inclusive services of a traditional hotel, especially if shopping or theme park visits are high on the agenda.
Accessibility
Information regarding specific accessibility features for Villa Gianessa is not extensively detailed. As individual units are managed, availability of adapted rooms or specific accessibility aids may vary. Guests with particular requirements would be advised to inquire directly with the property management for detailed information on wheelchair access or other inclusive features before booking.
Family-Friendly
Villa Gianessa is fundamentally geared towards families, with its spacious accommodations and private pool and spa tub offerings. The proximity to attractions like Green Meadows Petting Farm and the abundance of theme parks in the vicinity makes it a practical choice. The ability to have a full kitchen and separate living areas provides the comforts of home, crucial for families traveling with children of varying ages. It offers a private, contained environment where families can truly relax and create their own vacation memories.
