“Overall: Wonderful. Enjoyed Most: The walk to the pool and the scent of jasmine coming into all bedrooms. The style of furnishing....baby proof and elegant.German World Cup TV available.Really nice people at reception. Enjoyed Least: The road up to it is a bit bumpy! Not a serious problem unless you have a Ferrari or a low slung undercarriage.Vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce for dessert at a dinner we booked to celebrate a birthday there on the last night--not "the local cuisine" experience expected and not worth the money overall. The pre-booked cake was entirely forgotten and was sent out for as we waited. Surrounding Area: Lovely villas all around. The Italian Post Office experience is not to be missed! Tips or Restaurants: A sense of humour.”

“Overall: Very good. Enjoyed Most: Location in historic district in Florence. View from the apartment verlooking Santa Croce, and the Duomo. Surrounding Area: Easy walking to more local spots for eating, market, and tourist spots were no more than 15 minutes to about anything.The book the property manager left us had great restaurant and wine shop recommendations.The property manager was very helpful on any requests we had. (printing things, etc.) Nearby Events or Locales: Heart of Florence. Everything was walking distance. Tips or Restaurants: Make sure you have credit cards with chips for use in Europe. Also have your PIN handy as many kiosks (train station) require that in order to buy tickets electronically. Directions: Be clear that the entrance is off the piazza Santa Croce (south side). When using Google maps, it shows the building, but it's not clear on where entrance is located. Check In Out: Make sure you set your phone up for international dialing, and know how to dial the number for the property manager when you arrive. (You don't need the country code up front in Italy, but you might need the city code).”

“Overall: Very good to excellent. Enjoyed Most: The view, peace and quiet, and the pool. The people at the reception were outstanding. Enjoyed Least: The sitting areas outside were not near to our apartment. Walls were not soundproof and we could hear other guests. WiFi was spotty at best, but we were warned about it in advance. Surrounding Area: Great access to all the major hill towns and only one half hour from the airport and Firenze. Nearby Events or Locales: Bargino; yes, but out of the question for senior citizens and therefore a car is a must. Tips or Restaurants: Buy Vape at the nearest supermarket or Coop for mosquitoes. Directions: Yes we had a GPS, but RentVillas directions were perfect and we got there without a hitch. Check In Out: No, as I said earlier, the reception people were outstanding and attentive to all of our needs/concerns.”

“Overall: Vacation of a life time! It is a very nice property with wonderful view. Enjoyed Most: Location, the view, the garden. Surrounding Area: The property is within walking distance to the town center of Scala. We also walked to nearby tows and took taxi back to our villa. The entire region is beautiful. Nearby Events or Locales: Scala is the nearest town, but it is a small town. Both Ravello and Amalfi are close. There is a bus that runs every hour and is very cheap. Tips or Restaurants: Definitely rent a small car with nagivation system. The roads are very narrow. Ravello town center has many good places to eat. Directions: We used GPS. Check In Out: You have to make sure about parking (number of cars) before you go.”

“Overall: All of us are seasoned travelers, some having traveled to Europe over 25 times. We agree that this was as close to perfect as any accommodation any of us have ever had. The building, furnishings, pool, and grounds were exceptionally beautiful. As much as we enjoyed traveling to medieval towns and wineries, we equally enjoyed just sitting in the villa or on one of its patios and enjoying the serenity and each other's company. When I pay a premium price, I expected premium product. Honestly, in every way, my expectations were more than met. Enjoyed Most: Most of us had traveled to Tuscany several times. Consequently, we had very high expectations for our accommodations. Perhaps the best indication of how much we enjoyed the property can be seen in the fact that when we returned home and discussed a trip with friends, much of the discussion centered around the positive experience we had at the villa. The view from each window was a Tuscan postcard. Surrounding Area: There is a beautiful winery within walking distance of our villa. Within an hour drive there were many many medieval cities and wineries to explore. It is only an hour drive to Siena and a 2- hour drive to Florence. Nearby Events or Locales: Montepulciano is a medieval hill town that is about five kilometers from the villa. In addition to many find restaurants and other interesting sites, there was a co-op where we were able to buy all the provisions we needed. Tips or Restaurants: Although there are many interesting restaurants within driving distance of the Villa, we highly recommend that future renters consider engaging the services of Cinzia's Group of Chefs. Through Rentvillas we contracted for a meal to be prepared in the villa. Three chefs arrived and prepared an amazing authentic meal. Several afternoons later they returned to conduct a cooking class for five members of our group. Our friends prepared a five course meal for all ten of us that was delicious. Directions: All four cars as well as the chef had difficulty locating the villa. Perhaps adding the actual GPS coordinates would be of help. Check In Out: The check-in and checkout process went smoothly.”

(Villa Brunello With Guest House) - Posted 10 years ago

“Overall: Excellent stay and everybody enjoyed themselves. Enjoyed Most: Lovely lounge, great outside areas for a large (9 person) group. Lovely garden leading out onto the village square, plenty of room for parking. Nice pool area with nice size swimming pool. Nicely furnished and decorated in keeping with the period of the property. Enjoyed Least: The kitchen area was a little small, no problem for us but if the weather was not so good then you would have to use the dining table in the lounge. The bathroom facilities are adequate only, some of the bathrooms only had a bath with a hand held shower which wasn't ideal. The majority of the bedrooms were a good size. Surrounding Area: Fantastic location, beautiful non-touristy village with wonderfully friendly people. Great local produce from the few (but enough) shops in the village, if needed a supermarket is just over a five minute drive away. Easy drives to fantastic locations, Avignon, Isles Sur La Sorgue, Gordes, Pont de Gard to name a few. Nearby Events or Locales: Cabrieres D'Avignon. The property is right in the village next to the village church, lovely walking through the village at any time but especially at dusk when the street lights are just coming on. Restaurant and shops within minutes walk. Tips or Restaurants: Bring soap. There are many, many restaurants in Isles Sur La Sorgue about 15 minutes away, all running alongside the river that runs through the town. If you want to stay in, the local butcher has plenty of local produce and makes his own delicatessen meat dishes and terrines. He also makes spit roasted chickens but ask him to take the head and feet off, this with some cheese and olives from the local shop (try the french beer) and fresh bread from the bakery--a meal fit for a king! Directions: We did use a GPS and had no problems finding the property. Check In Out: Check in, check out was easy. Owner greeted us on arrival and said goodbye on departure. All easy with no problems.”

“Overall: The property is beautiful! The view is amazing and you wake up every morning to a symphony of birds and frogs. The villa itself is rustic but nice and very comfortable for our family of 8. Enjoyed Most: The outside area was amazing, the pool and hot tub were great. The 4 bedrooms worked well for our family and the 3 bathrooms came in handy. Enjoyed Least: It was isolated. Surrounding Area: The Tuscan hills were beautiful and we traveled to Siena, Greve, Florence and some other small Tuscan towns. The bus to Florence was convenient. Nearby Events or Locales: Falciani and it was not with in walking distance. Tips or Restaurants: There was a restaurant close by in the area that Machiavelli resided in that was great and in a beautiful location. We brought extra toilet paper which was recommended and it did come in handy. The kitchen is well equipped, even a good selection of spices! There were blow dryers in the bathrooms too! Check In Out: Marco was great and it was very convenient. The only thing was having enough Euros available to pay in cash; we had to call Marco for a total the day before so we were prepared.”

“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.”

“Overall: Very special villa. Location is amazing. Enjoyed Most: Location, outside amenities. Enjoyed Least: When we arrived, the TV wasn't working, there was no internet, the oven blew fuses, one toilet did not work, and one bathroom had a leak. The villa hadn't been rented in some time, so the issues were understandable. The property managers worked very hard to resolve the issues and did their very best. We appreciated the extra effort. It made a huge difference. Surrounding Area: Proximity to neighboring hill towns. Ideal location. Nearby Events or Locales: Monticchiello was a 3 min drive. 15 min walk. Tips or Restaurants: La Porta was great. We went there 3 times! Directions: It would have been helpful to have the name of the crossroad.”

“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”
