It was truly a memorable experience and all parties were amazed at the house. Everyone wants to return and we will definitely contact you for future trips.
The house was overall much better than the web pictures suggested.
Thanks again.

June 2016Dear Lori and James,
Hope that you are well.
As you will see from my Feedback, our holiday in Villa Francesca was most enjoyable.
It has been a wonderful holiday for all of us at Villa Francesca. Francesca herself, her parents, her friend Camilla and, last but not least, the housekeeper, Elena, have looked after us in an exceptional manner. The close proximity of the villa to the village was a real plus. All the locals were lovely people and we made friends with them. I can only be complimentary about our experience!
Of all the other villas that we have rented over the years, this was the only one where we had close contact with the owners and what wonderful people they are!
Francesca and her family are the loveliest people - any request we had was immediately responded to.
Ited over the years this was the only one where we had close contact with the owners and what wonderful people they are!
Thank you again and it will be my pleasure to recommend your agency to my friends.

June 2016Rafael and Mariella were terrific. Great feasts! Wonderful thoughtful service. Bruno went out of his way to solve a transportation problem that arose when my son's airplane landed at the wrong city.

May 2016Good Morning Lori,
Marilyn Mancinik Casamare
Just wanted to send a sincere thank you to you & James. We came back on Sunday from Italy & truly had one of our very best vacations. We loved our little villa & the location, compound, Paola & Daisy were all perfect. The views/terrace were absolutely wonderful. As you know I was nervous having only used hotels/resorts, ships when in Europe. Your attention to detail before & the management's once there were so spot on. Totally seamless & stress free. No surprises!! Was wonderful to know you still had access to any amenities/ support you would desire but had privacy & the perfect environment. Was just what we were looking for so authentic & can't wait to return. Also, Gennaro was just great transferring us to & from Rome & also had a beautiful day with him touring the Amalfi coast. We will always contact you first with confidence when considering a villa vacation & definitely recommend you to our family & friends. Would love to organize a family vacation to this property!! Will work on that.
Have a wonderful safe summer!

Ann. B Chatham NJ Casa Giardini
I am sorry for the delayed response however after being away for a month it has taken this long to get things somewhat back in order. We would like to thank you both for helping us achieve what has turned out to be a dream vacation. Both villas were wonderful and the people we met connected with both were not only accommodating in whatever needed to be loved after , but personally delightful . We would never for an instant hesitate to return. We have already recommended both villas and you might have already heard from one party. I am sure we will return and will definitely contact Via Villas of Italy first .
Again many thanks for your advise , and information to all questions it is and was greatly appreciated.

June 2015This was my second time staying at Colle Aperto and this visit was just as wonderful as the first! In fact, the upgrades and updates that have been made to the property since my first visit only add to the overall wonderful experience! The property is spectacular and very comfortable. Every day, we felt torn between going out and visiting the surrounding hilltop towns and staying behind to enjoy the property! Graziella is a gem and really makes the overall experience one-of-a-kind. The meals she lovingly prepared and her overall willingness to make the visit as wonderful as possible were such a huge part of the fantastic memories that will carry us until our next visit!

October 2014Love this property. It has everything. It's closeness to everything makes it an ideal location in the heart of Tuscany. I only hope it's not 8 years until I get back there again. Gabriele was great.

October 2014We loved the Villa and the location of the Villa. It was close to everything. The only negative comment I could make was that no one told us about the ants. On our first night we left out a lot of the groceries we ordered on the counter and in the morning the kitchen was swarming with ants. After we realized about the ants we were able to control it. The information sheet and the instructions we received before we arrived were fabulous. It included everything and was most helpful. We used it throughout our trip. James was the best, always professional, helpful and responded to my emails immediately. We loved Daisy, she was fabulous and really took care of us. I will be sure to use VIA VILLAS of ITALY again and will recommend it to all my friends. Our trip was fabulous and we thank you for everything.

October 2014The villa was just perfect.

Also your staff there…Roseanna and Luigi our driver were absolutely terrific.Luigi took us to Pompeii and even arranged a guide for us there. Also I had a small medical problem and he went to a pharmacy in Sorrento for me to pick up my medicines. He was amazingly available and between him and Roseanna they made our stay so comfortable and tended to many little needs we had which was so helpful. We were 100% delighted with our stay.
Also the information you sent us about the area and other travel tips were extremely helpful.
I hope we will be able to travel to Italy again soon and if and when that happens we will certainly try and rent a villa again. In the meantime I will happily recommend your company to anyone I know traveling to Italy.
Ciao ciao e grazie mille,
September 2014It was terrific -the setting, the view,the decor, the villa itself. Our expectations were exceeded. Babeth and Daniella were delightful. So helpful to have Babeth check in everyday and make valuable suggestions and reservations. The exercise room (with the million dollar view) was much appreciated.
Bonnie G. Somerset PA La Sevilliana
September 2014Nancy and I really enjoyed the apt especially the view from the terrace. The unit was very clean and bed was comfortable. The location of the unit was perfect and the entire building was manicured perfectly.

August 2014We had a wonderful stay at Casa Olivi and look forward to a return visit in the future. The house is magnificent and suited our group perfectly. We enjoyed our dinners with Gianna and Errico. Julia was absolutely the best that we could ask for in a housekeeper.

July 2014Absolutely idyllic! We could not imagine a better place to celebrate our 50th anniversity with our family.

July 2014Dear Lori and James,
We had a fabulous time and loved every second we were blessed with our visit to Casa San Giovanni. Thank you for working with us through the reservation process and details related to the visit.
Frederica was a delightful hostess and immediately set the tone for our experience in San Giovanni D'Asso and the surrounding Tuscany villages. We thoroughly enjoyed our cooking class and thought it gave us a deeper sense of Tuscan cuisine. The kids loved being part of the "class".

We hope someday we can revisit Casa San Giovanni.
