Colle | Historic Estate with Pool, Across from Jefferson Vineyards
This property has been selected for inclusion in The 100 Collection™, a global designation awarded to only the top professionally managed vacation rentals based on consistent quality and service.
This 5 bedroom, 5.5 bath historical estate is surrounded with charm and character. Max occupancy is 10 people at all times - both overnight and during the day.
Property’s History: Colle’s land was granted from Thomas Jefferson in 1773 to an Italian viticulturist from Tuscany, Philip Mazzei. Mazzei planted vines and built the original Colle in 1773. Around 1930, Colle was disassembled and it’s thought that parts of the home’s exterior were put to use for the renovation of Charlottesville’s Michie Tavern, located a few miles away. In 1939 the Woodward family purchased the property and rebuilt Colle on the original foundation. Today, the wine culture still flows strong through out the property. Directly across the street sits Jefferson Vineyards. Take a stroll over to their two tasting rooms and enjoy the beautiful Mountain View and sprawling vineyard.

Amazing Spot for Large Family Gathering
We loved our stay at Colle - beautiful property and the pool was a highlight. We hiked the Saunders-Monticello path every morning around the corner, took the kids for fresh peaches at Carter's Mountain and walked across the street to Jefferson vineyards for wine & dinner one night. Despite the expansive property and privacy, you're still close to everything in C'ville. The many bedrooms and bathrooms worked well for our group. Kitchen was well stocked. FYI there is no washer/dryer in the house :)

Highly recommended, but things to know
This is a beautful historic home in the heart of Virginia Wine Country. The home suited our needs perfectly and the management company was responsive and great to work with. A few things to know if you book: 1) although the primary suite has a bathroom, there's not a shower -- only a tub. 2) as soon as you arrive, check to be sure the hot water is working. We didn't have hot water. The management company was great to work with, but it took several hours to get the issue resolved. 3) all the beds were comfortable except one in the ground floor front bedroom.

Classic Virginia Farmhouse
Our extended family stayed together in this house for a weekend. Large setup with lots of bedrooms worked well. The house is an old Virginia farmhouse but has been renovated over the years. Beautiful location just outside Cville by Monticello and Jefferson Vineyards. It's not fancy, but served our needs perfectly. Would stay there again!

Wonderful weekend retreat
The Colle house was perfect for our group of friends. We were able to relax in quiet comfort when we wanted, and were close enough to pop into town for a concert with ease. Highly recommend.

Beautiful property
The pros: beautiful property and garden in a quiet, scenic location. Interesting architecture, great for a big group. There is a pool that is a big bonus. It was closed when we were there, but would be really lovely in summer. It’s a fabulous house for a group, particularly adults who want to spread out. Lots of privacy. 3 bedrooms up and 3 down. The kitchen is very big for a group and there are two big tables and chairs for eating. Cons: No patio furniture or Adirondack chairs to get comfortable outside and spend time outside. There is a table under a tree and it’s lovely but small metal chairs. Not somewhere you’d sit and read and relax. It is well worn. Refrigerator bins broken, lights around sink upstairs don’t work. Doors in living room to outside can’t be opened. Bathroom upstairs had hair on shower wall. Mostly, it was clean but it was hard to get comfortable there. Two sofas in living room were low to floor. One was a standard height and comfortable. No easy chairs. It’s not that there was anything big wrong, and there is a lot that is really nice, but for the price I was expecting more polish and comfort.
