Overall: Amazing. You can stay at a hotel in Sorrento, but you're only visiting. With the villa, we got to actually live there and experience it. Excellent time! Enjoyed Most: While other Sorrento villas are cheaper, this one is by far the best choice for someone who doesn't want to take a cab everywhere. I was thrilled that it was a 10 min walk to everywhere: the main square, the shops, a supermarket, and just a 2 min walk to a great restaurant. Enjoyed Least: While there are so many pluses, there are a few areas of the villa that need improvement. The first is that you really don't have a view of any kind, because you're enclosed by 4 walls when on the property. Also, on weekends, you're right next to a soccer stadium which can get fairly loud, but during the week it was quiet. The washing machine and dryer were also a little tough to get working. And the biggest area of improvement would have to be the dampness of the villa. While not unbearable, a small dehumidifier would do wonders. Surrounding Area: So close to everything. It put you right in a wonderful European setting. Nearby Events or Locales: The nearest small town was Sant'Angello. While not an easy walk, it was definitely walkable. About 20 mins. Tips or Restaurants: Bring your appetite! We went out to dinner every night and did not eat a bad meal. Our favorite restaurants were in the town square. Caruso's and La Laterna. But if you just want a quick bite to eat for a reasonable price, there's a great pizzeria/restaurant 2 mins from the villa. Directions: Directions were great, we just walked from the train station. It was great. Check In Out: Everything was very smooth. Mena explained everything to us and was very helpful whenever we needed a favor, like using her printer.

(Villa Sorrento) - Posted 10 years ago
Overall: The location was perfect for us away from the heart and very busy part of Florence, but perhaps not so good for first-time visitors who might want to be in the historic center. Enjoyed Most: The roof top view of the city and river. Enjoyed Least: The lack of windows and natural light. Surrounding Area: Lots of little restaurants, with "Zeb" being a great find on Yelp. Tips or Restaurants: Good for a couple with children as the other bedrooms were small and not appropriate to share with another couple. Directions: It was an easy taxi ride from the train station but a bit of a long walk with luggage. Check In Out: No issues, as they were very gracious and helpful

(Palazzo Dell'Arno - Citrine) - Posted 10 years ago
Overall: Very positive. It was great to return to the quiet of Giudecca 6 after a day in the heavily touristed Venice City. Enjoyed Most: The quiet. The local neighborhood and markets. The bed was quite comfortable also. Enjoyed Least: The living/dining area. We appreciated the provisions stocked in the kitchen, but would have preferred Italian foods, instead of American ones. Surrounding Area: The views. The local neighborhood. Tips or Restaurants: Bring lots of money for Harry's Dolce. Directions: We used the directions provided. The Taxi captain knew where the Stuckey Hilton was and headed there. Check In Out: No. Smooth sailing there.

(Giudecca 6) - Posted 10 years ago
Overall: Very quaint, very quiet, very much the Italian experience we had hoped for. Enjoyed Most: The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped, making it a joy to cook and eat in. Enjoyed Least: The steep stairs, though with the handrails they were certainly manageable. Surrounding Area: The whole area is picturesque. Cinque Terre was wonderful. Nearby Events or Locales: We did not walk to La Spezia as it was quite a long walk and hilly. Plus it rained a lot. Tips or Restaurants: Clothes dryers in Europe are very slow. Bring clothes that can be washed and hung to dry. Directions: There are lots of peach colored houses and stone walls and we stopped too soon. Check In Out: It went smoothly and Sarah was a delight to work with. She went out of her was to accommodate us. Communication was easy.

Overall: Perfect. Exactly what we were looking for in an apartment. Enjoyed Most: Location. Location. Location. Enjoyed Least: Is was, however, right on a thru street for the island. As a result, lots of traffic noise. Surrounding Area: Everything we wanted was within walking distance: wine store, bakery, grocery store, cheese shop, and a dozen+ quaint restaurants. Nearby Events or Locales: It sat in the center of Paris. Everything was within walking distance. That's why we chose it. Tips or Restaurants: An umbrella in April.

(Ile Saint Louis 3) - Posted 10 years ago
Overall: Great location, comfortable bed, overall a very positive experience. The key holder arrived promptly. Car service from the airport was very convenient. Enjoyed Most: Location, close to Trevi fountain and all of the great sites. Enjoyed Least: Only minor complaint was that the kitchen area could have used a bit of a clean. Surrounding Area: Great sites all nearby: Trevi fountain, Spanish steps etc. Also, easy access to a Spar supermarket. Nearby Events or Locales: Rome. Tips or Restaurants: Don't forget to bring your own supplies of bath soap and shampoo. Also bring your own face cloths as we found Italian rental sites have lots of towels but no face cloths. Directions: All good. Check In Out: Might be helpful in the notes in the flat and also for check-in person to explain hot water heater.

Overall: Our family of five really enjoyed our stay at Porthos. The apartment is in a nice area in the 6th, close to Le Bon Marche. It is close to several different Metro lines but we mainly used Duroc, which is about 5 mins walk away and gave easy access to most places we wanted to visit. There is a supermarket and several bakeries close by. The apartment has been renovated to a high standard and everything is provided. Just be aware that it is four flights up a narrow spiral staircase, but if you are reasobably fit it is highly recommended. Enjoyed Most: The location, high quality of the apartment and fittings. Surrounding Area: Nice area. Plenty of shops to explore. Easy walking distance to several attractions. Check In Out: Our arrival on the Eurostar was delayed by four hours but Arnaud was very accommodating. He was at the apartment to greet us when we eventually arrived and made a big effort to show us around and tell us about interesting things to do in the area. Much appreciated!

Overall: The villa, the owners, and the views were exceptional. Enjoyed Most: The villa we had was very comfortable and the grounds provided a restful environment. There were sights to view from anywhere on the property. There were staff members tending the grounds everyday. Although we did not use them, the pool and the tennis court were appealing. Surrounding Area: The views, the lushness of the surrounding areas, and the nearby villages. Nearby Events or Locales: Staggia was probably within walking distance although we drove. Tips or Restaurants: Don't overpack. We found a restaurant in the next village up from Staggia which we visited twice. The food was very good, the prices very fair, and outside seating. Directions: Learning how to drive in Italy in general is a challenge. We stopped several times for directions, which was difficult because of the language barrier. Check In Out: The check in/out were without incident. Claudia provided computer-generated directions to the airport.

Overall: Very good, nice, comfortable, with very good accommodations. staff were very helpful and courteous. Loved the place! Enjoyed Most: Loved the location, easy access to our points of interest. Very helpful staff, clean, well furnished, heat and central air, great to meet the count and countess, very welcoming. Nice location near restaurants and grocery. Quiet and not right on a busy street or directly in town. Surrounding Area: Loved the lake district, shopping, views, food, recommendations from the staff for places to visit and see. Had activities for children very similar to USA theme parks, but we were not interested in such. Nearby Events or Locales: Peschiera, could probably have walked but we didn't because of crossing very busy roads. But easy to drive and would recommend that. Tips or Restaurants: Arrive in the day time, it was a bit confusing to arrive after dark, but the one of phone numbers given helped clear up the correct driveway and villa. If you play golf, bring or rent clubs as the golf course was nice. Sorry we arrived in late Oct. the pool looked great. Room for children to run and play very safely. Villa well equipped, washer, no dryer but laundry service available at extra cost. We found it quite adequate for our needs. Directions: Yes, we did use a GPS. We just turned into the road that led to the reception area. Check In Out: Maria and Marta made things very easy. We like the size of the villa as it gave each of us a private bedroom with a bath. One hiccup with water heater but it was resolved within 30 minutes.

(Villa Vellutto) - Posted 10 years ago
Overall: Lovely property with beautiful views. The owner was very nice and helpful. We used his cook, Ada, one night and that was fabulous. Enjoyed Most: The views and peacefulness. Enjoyed Least: The access road was long and winding; challenging with a larger vehicle. Surrounding Area: Great location and everything was close. The train station was only 5 miles away. All of the areas we visited were beautiful. Nearby Events or Locales: Cortona is the nearest town, but not within walking distance. Tips or Restaurants: The villa was well-equipped. We brought things we didn't need. There is a mid-week towel change and weekly cleaning. There was a good supply of garbage bags and toilet paper. If you plan on cooking, purchase/bring your ingredients. We like the restaurant in the Lucca Hotel in Cortona and another restaurant in Pergo, which is down the hill. A bit pricey but excellent food and service. Directions: The directions were great but it should be noted that the access road is uphill, narrow and winding. We had to trade in our first rental car (too big), and this took time away from the trip. Check In Out: The owner was very helpful and accommodating with luggage.

Overall: Overall, it was great. The owners were absolutely wonderful. Enjoyed Most: Besides the owner's kindness and availability--the dining area and the porch. Enjoyed Least: Low lighting. Surrounding Area: Lovely little town, with a great restaurant. The people were all so friendly. Nearby Events or Locales: Bucine...yes, it's within walking distance. Tips or Restaurants: Bring a flashlight. Check In Out: Easy. Again, the owners were the BEST!

(Villa Bucine) - Posted 10 years ago
Overall: We had a lovely time. We primarily used the villa as a stopping point for lots of day trips around the area - and didn't spend many days just relaxing here. It would be nice to take advantage of the surroundings and amenities. Enjoyed Most: Location. The outside pool and tennis court areas are really great. It would be fantastic in the summer months as a relaxing retreat. Enjoyed Least: It was a bit tricky to find and a bit isolated. We had some confusion related to the heat in the villa - and it was cold! We got it corrected, but it was a challenge. Surrounding Area: Close to Lucca. Near Florence for day trips. We spent 2 days in the Cinque Terre. Nearby Events or Locales: Orentano is the town. Technically you could walk here - but in reality, no. The road for the villa is long, narrow and very muddy. Tips or Restaurants: Make sure you ask questions and understand how to operate the heat if you are here in the fall and winter months. English is a bit of a challenge for communication. Directions: We drove in from the opposite direction than your instructions - and had some issues finding the villa. Once we got on the correct side of town (Orentano), we were able to find it. The GPS coordinates didn't really help (we ended up in a sunflower field our first try).

(La Corte 3) - Posted 10 years ago
Overall: The villa was better than expected. We loved it. You definitely need a car. Enjoyed Most: Loved the view of the church and all the architecture. It was very private and had a nice yard. Enjoyed Least: The entrance driveway to the property. Surrounding Area: Location was good. Travelled to Cortona and other surrounding towns. Liked being not far from Cortona for shopping and dining. Nearby Events or Locales: Cortona--not within walking distance. Tips or Restaurants: All the food was wonderful. In Cortona, go to Molesini wine shop. Marco was very helpful and speaks English. Directions: We did not have a GPS, which would have helped. Had to call owners a few times to confirm directions, but their English isn't good. Texting was much easier. We were very glad to arrive at the villa. Check In Out: We liked the adventure. It's helpful to know some Italian.

Overall: We enjoyed our stay very much. Enjoyed Most: The location is next door to a beautiful church - the top of which is visible from the garden. There are lovely restaurants nearby and the water taxi stop is handy, too. Enjoyed Least: The kitchen is not very well-equipped. It does have a dishwasher which is a plus, but there were barely enough glasses. Surrounding Area: The area is not in the heavy tourist section, which we prefer. It is in a quiet neighborhood with grocery and bakery nearby so you feel more like a local than a visitor. Nearby Events or Locales: It's Venice, so... Murano is a short water taxi ride away from the stop near the property. Tips or Restaurants: Ostaria Da Rioba and Osteria L'Orto dei Mori were both excellent. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and they spoke English which helped us as non-Italian speakers. Directions: The directions were fine, but they sent someone to meet us at the water taxi stop. We did not use GPS. Check In Out: The process was easy. They let us leave our luggage there as we arrived early, and then we came back after the other guests had left for the orientation and keys.

(Casa Errizo) - Posted 10 years ago
Overall: We had a lovely stay in Tuscany. Upon arrival, they had stocked the kitchen for the first morning's breakfast and they showed us how to use the Italian coffee maker. Enjoyed Most: Location was great. Short distance to many of the lovely Tuscan towns. Nearby Events or Locales: Yes , we picked up a pizza one night and walked home and enjoyed it at the house. We did use the laundromat in town and it was clean and machines functioned well. Directions: A map would be helpful to have included in the final instructions. We did have trouble finding the home when we arrived in town. Check In Out: Check in and check out was effortless.

(Casa Dei Venti - La Tempesta) - Posted 10 years ago
Overall: We had a great time enjoying the accommodations and amenities. The pool is great and the view of the surrounding hills is terrific. Enjoyed Most: We had 9 people in our party and there was plenty of space for all of us to have privacy and get together when we wanted to.Also, while we were there late in the season, we still managed a meal outside under the grape arbor--beautiful! Enjoyed Least: It was further outside of Florence than we believed. I think the mileage stated is to the outskirt of Florence, not the city center. Surrounding Area: The countryside is very picturesque and the view spectacular. Nearby Events or Locales: San Donato is within easy walking distance. Tips or Restaurants: The small cafe in San Donato is run by a great couple with excellent panini and coffees. The bus was a convenient short walk away and was between 45 minutes and an hour to get to Florence. DO NOT DRIVE INTO FLORENCE! The bus is much more convenient. Directions: We picked up a rental car at the Florence airport (which is not actually located at the airport proper). Finding our way out of this location (and then back to) was complicated. I recommend picking up a car in downtown Florence, instead. Check In Out: Giulia was excellent and very helpful!

Overall: We enjoyed our time at the villa. There was a wonderful dinner provided by staff at the main house. Enjoyed Most: Very pleasant grounds - enjoyed sitting by pool. Paths through gardens are delightful. Enjoyed Least: Only two of bedrooms have full showers. Surrounding Area: Loved Lucca and the farmhouse restaurant just a few kilometers up the hill from our property. Restaurant had a lovely view and excellent food. Tips or Restaurants: Farmhouse restaurant up the hill. Bring a comfortable pillow (hard to travel with!) and spend a day in Lucca. Directions: There was a road closed so initial directions took us a back way to villa. While there, the main road opened and we had no problems finding our way. Check In Out: Marcello was delightful and check-in/check-out were very easy.

(Poggio Antico) - Posted 10 years ago
Overall: Very good. Enjoyed Most: Superbly maintained. Presented with excellent views. Funny enough we had the best WiFi reception of any where we had traveled in Europe. Enjoyed Least: Access. Two kilometres of dirt road. Surrounding Area: What's not to like in Tuscany. We were in close proximity to Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Greve, etc. All were terrific. Nearby Events or Locales: Tavarnelle was about 23 km distant by dirt road. You would need to be a keen hiker prepared to get very dusty if you wanted to walk. Tips or Restaurants: Tavarnelle had few restaurants. If you want a late afternoon drink you best buy the makings from the COOP and take it home. Borgo Antico (Antico Pieve boutique hotel) has an excellent restaurant and hosts. Book early. Directions: GPS is essential. Roads in Tuscany are narrow. Check In Out: The staff person at reservation was delightful and most helpful and obliging. No complaint with either check in or out.
