July 2013Hi Lori, Everything was wonderful at Villa Cernobbio. The combination of Fernando and Chompa took the whole experience to a new level. They keep the property spit shined at all times; they're full of smiles and good cheer; and Chompa's cooking is the best we've experienced in our five visits. Lisa and I will discuss the dates we want to commit to for next year and will get back to you within a few days. Best,

June 2013Our week the latter part of June at Villa Bianca could not have been more perfect. Villa Bianca is an absolutely beautiful villa in an ideal location in Tuscany - 30 minutes from Siena and Florence. Annagloria and Enzo, the owners, live next door, speak perfect English and are most helpful. The villa has all the amenities, especially a well stocked wine cellar with their own very reasonably priced chianti. Marta is a wonderful cook and also a great teacher - her dinners were delicious. Annagloria's roses were gorgeous and we enjoyed them throughout the villa. The pool and gardens were always perfect, thanks to Enzo. Annagloria's suggestions and directions were great and her recommendation for the restaurant Al Macereto was perfecto - a definite must. We had our children and grandchildren with us and everyone had a fabulous time.

June 2013Hi Lori and James, We left Villa Bellina in Spello yesterday and I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our time there. The villa itself was beautiful and comfortable and spacious, and full of little touches everywhere to make it special and memorable. Andrea, the proprietor, was great, extremely gracious and helpful and attentive when we needed it. The town of Spello was a great home base for exploring Umbria. We were so sad to leave the Villa, and we hope to return sooner than later. Thank you again for everything. Regards,
Daphne H. Delta BC Villa Bellina
June 2013Jerry and Anna were lovely people...they were very helpful in suggesting places and things to see... The property and location were absolutely stunning!

May 2013We found Casa Stephania to be a perfect accomodation for two couples. The view, the location, the amenities could not have been better. The surprise telephone call from Stephania made us feel very welcome. Teresa and her daughter Maria cooked for us every evening. The meals were beautifully presented and tasted delicious. It was wonderful to experience the local fare served in a family-style. Luigi was extremely helpful with our transportation, tour arrangements, and assistance with translations. We had a very pleasant experience that shall be remembered for years and years to come.

May 2013The villa was great. My only feedback is that beds are a little firm and after a week everyone had a back ache from sleeping on such a firm mattress. Not a big deal, more of a personal preference. It was totally worth it, great villa, great location. Teresa was amazing. We loved her!!
Emily G. Hollywood CA. Casa Stefania
May 2013We enjoyed the villa. Weather was awful and glad to have fireplace for certain. Anna and Jerry were wonderful, helpful and always ready to answer our questions whether about the property, distances or suggestions. Home was beautiful!
Ellen S. Stuart FL. Villa Valeria
May 2013James and Lori The stay was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about the place [except the distance to the swimming pool, but what can you do when you build on a cliff?] Weather was great. Full moon over the Tyrr Sea on Tuesday and Wednesday. Got some superb pictures. Genarro the driver was super. Paula was great and the maid service excellent. Learned the history of the 7 villas. Next time we may try just the 2 of us and a smaller venue, but return we shall. Thanks again for your constant attention and assistance. I am putting together a little portfolio for a friend who is planning to visit, so perhaps you will hear from them.

March 2013La Colombaia was an excellent choice for our family, and we thank Lori for matching us with this property. The accommodations were very well represented through the website, and a beautiful property. The only thing I would change on this property would be to include the price of the heating in the initial rental cost of the property, and not make it a separate cost. Bruno and Rosa were very helpful and accommodating to all our needs, besides being delightful. We enjoyed the wineries and villages in the area, but also enjoyed our time at the villa, if it was playing Bocce ball, tennis or the wonderful meals prepared by Rosa. We look forward to either working with you in the future and recommending you to our friends.
