I want to thank you for all the help you provided in making our trip to Italy such a wonderful one. The apartment in Portovenere was perfect - we enjoyed everything about it! From watching the man in the apartment below lovingly water his herbs to seeing the fishing boats head into the harbor every night, it was the perfect start to our vacation. Thanks again, and we will most certainly recommend you and your expertise to future travelers!

We had a fabulous time in Italy. The trip could not have turned out better. The villa was great! It is in a beautiful setting and we enjoyed the surrounding towns. There is no bad food in Italy!!!! The wines were superb. Our weather was great. Spring was in full bloom and the air was sweet with the fragrance of flowers. Thanks for your help. This was a great vacation.

--Ross & Karin M., 2009

We had a wonderful wonderful wonderful time…The apartment itself was beautiful…enjoyed buying delicious meats from the butcher down the road and the fantastic restaurants in walking distance and plenty more all around the area.

We have just returned from our honeymoon in Italy, and my wife and I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for your great help in getting us set up at Casamonti. The villa was absolutely beautiful; it was everything we had hoped for, and much more - the perfect place to spend our honeymoon…Thank you so much for taking the time to understand what we were really looking for, and delivering it!

--David Y. & Janice K., 2009

I wanted to send you just a short note to let you know that the villa rental was a huge success. Everyone was very, very pleased with the facilities and the owners. The location near Florence and Siena was great. It was a great experience for everyone. Of particular note was the meals served at the villa. They were experiences everyone raved about. If you ever need a reference for this villa, please do not hesitate to contact me.

--Craig T., 2009

We had a wonderful week in Tuscany at Molino del Ponte. We spent a lot of time in Radda, Greve, Castellina, and Montepulciano. We had some great purchases (mainly wine) and we were pleased to renew our acquaintance with Pietro, the gardener.

--Mark J., 2009

Il Giardino was magnificent. You are batting 2 for 2 with us.

--Wayne C., 2008

It was fabulous. We loved the villa, the view and the grounds, the Dottorre was very charming, the recommended chef was wonderful, and Rosaria and Roseanna were the best housekeepers/breakfast makers (we became VERY spoiled every morning) and all of the arrangements worked well. I'll continue to sing your praises to everyone who asks about how to rent villas in Italy - thank you again for all your help and recommendations!

--Catherine B., 2008

Our trip was excellent! Apartment Fiori exceeded our expectations and really made our trip. The location of the apartment is absolutely outstanding. It was the perfect location to explore everything that Rome has to offer. Your information packets were outstanding. It was a once in a lifetime trip that your company was a huge part of.

--Michael M., 2008

Our group had a wonderful time at Solaria. It's a lovely property, up there on the hill looking at Siena, and it was perfect for our group's needs. It's wonderfully situated for the visits we wanted to make to Siena, Florence, various hill towns, and vineyards. All of our group are looking forward to the first person who asks about villas in Tuscany, so we can pass on a recommendation for you and your firm.

--Don A., 2008

We had a wonderful time in Italy. And I highly recommend Antica Magione to anyone. The owners were wonderful and gracious. I loved my cooking class, and the tour guide you recommended for Florence was fabulous. Bob and I hope to get back to Italy some day, and you'll be the first call I make.

--Kelly H., 2008

The "San Gaetano" apartment was beautiful, comfortable, equipped with everything one would need, and of course the location optimal. For the four of us it was perfect…The doorman was always cheerful…THANK YOU, MARTY, FOR ALL YOU DID FOR US! We hope very much to be able to select another of your villas in the future.

--Liz & Bob O., 2008

Casamora was terrific: great facilities; excellent food; well situated for exploring Florence and the rest of Tuscany; excellent setting for AM/PM hikes through the countryside….Overall a great experience that we would highly recommend to anyone.

--Richard W., 2008

Just back from Italy and what a fantastic place!….We loved the apartment and especially enjoyed the people watching in the piazza. The location was as perfect as it could get. Also went to one of your restaurant recommendations, the one by the Uffizi, and had a great meal and a great time. We will definitely be going back and will be referring your company to all our friends who visit Italy!

--Pamela V., 2008

We are back from our Italy vacation and I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much we enjoyed the villa and how it completely exceeded our expectations. What a beautiful location and property!…. I cannot thank you enough for your patience and the assistance you provided throughout this process - and I want you to know I've already passed on your information to more than a dozen people….Thanks again for everything - it was truly a vacation of a lifetime!

--Elizabeth N., 2007

Just wanted you to know our trip was absolutely fabulous and L'Uccelliera is paradise!….Thank you very much for your help with the trip and for having such special places for us to choose from.

--Diana and Tim F., 2007

Barbara and I had a great time in Italy, and one primary reason was the assistance you gave us. Apartment Fiori was exactly what we were hoping for, a chance to live a little inside of the Italian culture. We felt very lucky to have the apartment.

--Perry L., 2007

Just got back from Italy.…What an amazing trip. The villa was truly incredible….Our thanks for helping make this so easy and non-Italian-speaking-friendly. Everything worked out beautifully!!

--Terri C., 2007

We're back from a great trip to Italy and a wonderful visit at La Foce. The Tartaruga apt. was perfect; my parents were thrilled and the estate, as you so rightly told me, was glorious. Thanks again for all your wisdom and assistance!

--Jo-Ann R., 2007

We want to thank you for your help in arranging a wonderful week in Tuscany. The apartment was great….very helpful people to assist us….the cook you arranged was wonderful….We hope that in the future we can again call upon you for your expert guidance.

--Al S., 2007

For anyone interested in renting a villa in Italy, look no further than Italian Vacation Villas. Alice helped us find the perfect villa to fit our needs. Our vacation memories are priceless thanks to the wonderful villa we rented through Italian Vacation Villas. Italian Vacation Villas provided us with amazing trip documents before we left for Italy, which included detailed maps, directions and restaurant recommendations. Alice was a great help, and we look forward to planning our next Italian vacation with her.

--Kim S., 2007

From my first contact with you I had a very positive impression of how you conduct your business. Of course you never really know until you are there, but I can only say that the property exceeded my expectation …You seem to have known, maybe even better than myself, what we were looking for. Thank you so much for helping us to create so many wonderful memories.

--Diane S., 2006

I know I will never go anywhere that everything works out so perfectly. We owe most of that to you…Donika was wonderful to us there and a marvelous cook. We came home each day to the most divine 5 course meals…Our cooking class with Giovanelle was also outstanding. It was another highlight. We used tour guides you recommended, tried restaurants, and all were right on target.

--K.K. B., 2006

I just wanted to let you know how thrilled we were with all the accommodations during our recent trip to Tuscany…The villa was wonderfully well furnished and equipped, beautifully located and spotlessly clean. All the info you provided to us prior to our trip as well as the answers to our many queries was much appreciated.

--Bonnie M., 2006

We had an absolutely fabulous time at La Foce, Gonzola. You did a great job of interpreting what I was looking for, and coming up with the perfect suggestion.

--Karen C., 2006

The apartment met our expectations, actually, it exceeded our expectations. It was large, comfortable, very well appointed, convenient, and most of all quiet!…Your prompt responses to all my questions during the preparation stages of our vacation were very much appreciated…Thank you again for making our rental experience in Florence a stress free and pleasant one!

--Nancy P., 2006

In short, it was a magnificent experience. The Tuscan countryside location was exhilarating, and the owners/managers could not have been more accommodating. The villa has ample grounds amid several vineyards, with panoramic views in all directions…Of course, it all starts with you. Your professionalism, recommendations, and guidance throughout the selection process virtually guaranteed a memorable experience.

--Joe F., 2005

I want to thank you for all your input, advice, helpful hints and suggestions and especially for your information about the markets. We had the best time “living in Italy” and experiencing the culture…Someone asked me if I would go back to do it again and I responded “yes, within 30 seconds.”

--Bobbi W., 2005

I just wanted to thank you for assisting us in choosing the villas for our Italian family vacation. We enjoyed both villas very much…Your assistance and patience with my mother and me while we went through the villa selection process was admirable! I appreciate your time and effort. This was very special to all of us, but especially to my mom as it was fulfilling a dream of her parents. Our trip meant the world to us and we could not have done it without you!

--Andrea B., 2005

Thank you, thank you! Incredible service and attention, start to finish, for this trip, and we will definitely work through you and Alice again.

--Edie B., 2005

I just wanted to let you know we were thrilled with our rental at La Foce. It was a very special place indeed and we enjoyed Tuscany very much. Your numerous travel tips and restaurant recommendations were also very much appreciated…Thank you for all your assistance in setting our trip up and once again I must say La Foce was a little piece of heaven!

--Pat L., 2005

The Casetto was beyond our expectations in all respects—location, view, facilities, cleanliness, size…It really worked out well and we will definitely book again with you on our next trip to Italy.

--Larry S., 2005

We wanted to express our immense satisfaction and enjoyment with the property, the local contacts, and your arrangements. The property was fantastic. With excellent views, a quiet setting, a great pool and outdoor dining facilities, we were in heaven. The local contact Sara was very supportive, taking care of our needs. The housecleaner, Enrica, was very friendly and was great with the children…Choosing a property agent is a decision that is difficult when visiting a foreign country. We are pleased we selected you and your firm. Thank you, and we highly recommend your services to anyone else seeking guidance for their visit to Italy.

--Ian B., 2004

Just got back home from the trip to Europe and I would like to thank you for the wonderful time we had. Il Mezzanino, in Lucca, was everything you said and more. Signora Emanuela is a very nice person (that’s an understatement) and made our stay even more pleasant. But the highlight of our trip was a restaurant [Maria Grazia in Marina del Cantone] you list in your recommendations…Thank you again, it was a great trip and your help and advice were most valuable.

--Alfredo M., 2004

The farmhouse, La Sassaia, at La Foce could not have been more perfect for our family. The accommodations worked out beautifully and the simplicity of the place made it ideal for the children and ourselves…Thank you for all of your help and advice. It is a little scary taking 14 to an unknown house, especially babies and little ones. We loved it all. We will certainly call upon you again.

--Emily K., 2004

I wanted to let you know how much we loved the Apartment Tridente in Rome…In addition, your website provided us with valuable links—to AutoEurope for the car rental and to train routes and schedules—which made the trip smoother. Thank you so much for suggesting the Apartment Tridente and for your professional and friendly service.

--Connie F., 2004

We are back from our vacation in Tuscany, and I wanted to tell you that it was everything we had hoped for – and more. Certosina was beyond perfect…You may recall that I described the kind of rustic elegance we were looking for, and you—rightly so—recommended Certosina…Thank you for your part in making our dream of this precious time with our family come true, and better than we could have imagined.

--Nancy K., 2004

Your information was so thorough and you were so helpful that I think the trip would not have been the same without you.

--Marty C., 2003

The villa was superb—very spacious and comfortable. The meals they cooked us were great and the views beyond compare. Most of all, the Gianis were gracious hosts. They stayed out of our way, but were there to answer questions and help us plan restaurants, etc. The location, too, was terrific—close to so many of the places we wanted to see.

--Casey B., 2003

Our villa was great, better than expected, and I found working with you easy and rewarding. Thank you so very much!

--Emily S., 2002

Our trip was a resounding success…Everything about Tafania was perfect—great villa, great location, nice people. Your recommendations on hill towns to visit and restaurants to eat at were consistently on the mark.

--Jim A., 2002

Well, we are back from the best vacation of our lives. We had a wonderful time in Italy and enjoyed every moment at Petrolo. Being comfortable in our living space was one of the reasons our trip was so special—we always looked forward to coming “home.” It was a pleasure working with you. We appreciate your knowledge, your friendliness, and your endless patience for our many questions.

--Kathy M., 2001

I’ve wanted to write to you to tell you what a fantastic summer I had, in large part thanks to your suggestions. La Foce was gorgeous beyond belief, and Il Palagio was incredibly beautiful and relaxing. The accommodations, swimming pools, and grounds were all incredibly well-kept at both places.

--Jeff H., 2000

From Hotel S. Chiara in Rome to Locanda Rosati in Orvieto and then, of course, Fuserna, all of your Italy travel recommendations were right on the mark! We had the trip of a lifetime and want to thank you for all your invaluable help.
