Italy Perfect Guest Reviews
Renata

Renata

"The accommodations were spectacular. I highly recommend "Renata" to anyone visiting Rome. We were centrally located, able to walk everywhere we wanted to go, yet on a quiet street. The apartment has every convenience a guest might desire including a/c, television, washing machine. My son takes Latin in school and has studied quite a bit of Roman history so the high point of the visit for my family was definitely the ancient ruins. We used the Roma Pass to avoid lines at the Colosseum and the other sites and I definitely recommend it. We had practically no wait at all. We did not take tours but used the Rick Steves guidebook tours to navigate the sites. I highly recommend his Rome book. We also enjoyed the Vatican. Although crowded, we avoided waiting in line by going after lunch around 2:00. The museum of Rome was very good and not crowded. It provides some history of the ancient Roman period. The owner of the apartment suggested several neighborhood restaurants and we ate at a few of them. All of our meals were good. As for shops, Renata is definitely in the upscale designer district. There is a nice department store nearby that is a bit more reasonable...La Rinascente, I think. We bought groceries at the store at the end of the road as suggested by the apartment owner. She is delightful and very helpful."

"Beautiful apartment, quiet, clean. Excellent location, plenty of good local dining. I recommend "Gusto" for a delicious dinner. The highlight of of my trip was to see the lovely Sistine Chapel, what a masterpiece! The museum was overly crowded but it's worth the wading through the people to see it! Getting around was easy, taxi's were abundant and fairly inexpensive, walking the local streets was great people-watching and interesting listening to the different languages. Thank you for the lovely accommodations, I will recommend to our friends in California."

"We spent some time in Venice and Rome before we went to the Castello. We had a wonderful stay there - the property was great, the pool was gorgeous - nice and big for laps. The kids look forward to swimming every day after our day trips. Everyone was helpful. We enjoyed going to Mamma Rosa the first night and going to the little town San Casicano and visiting the cheese and wine stores. We had a very positive experience - everything you mentioned was right on - including the freeway noise which was a bit disappointing for us, but we slept through it anyway. Thanks very much for all your help, Pat. We enjoyed the travel journals as well !"

Casa San Vito

Casa San Vito

"Casa San Vito was a highlight of our family's Italy vacation. The house is just as it is described on the website and it is a great value. We enjoyed getting to visit with Francesco and his parents who were extremely gracious and generous. The location is great for side trips: We went to Pisa, Viareggio (beach town), Carrara (marble quarries), San Gimignano, Siena, Volterra, and several Chianti wine towns. You can take a bus into Florence from a nearby village and avoid the hassle of driving in the city, a huge plus. Hanging out at the house and relaxing is equally enjoyable. The nearby town of San Casciano is a handy base for groceries, restaurants and shopping. We prepared dinner at home several nights, and had some great meals in the nearby restaurants. Our week and a half at San Vito exceeded our expectations. We'd love to return."

"Valentina was nothing short of spectacular.  Marcella was icing on the cake.  I can't recommend it more highly.  Thank you for offering such a wonderful apartment in the heart of Rome.  Our friends were jealous that we found such a jewel.  I have given your name and the apartment info to several of my friends."

"The Villa was everything you said it would be and more, Pat. We kept very busy sightseeing but every day we swam in the warm sea. The hostess was so welcoming. Jim managed to find his ancestor's hometown, a long but fulfilling day trip. We even learned how to make lemoncello."

"Casa San Vito is fabulous, as was our entire trip (15 days). Even the weather was perfect, only turning cold the day we left.  Francesco and his mother were most helpful. I will definitely recommend Casa San Vito and Casa Rossa. Your written materials were also great. We went to the MiniMart every morning for cappuccino and pastries and fell in love with Maria.  One member of our group wants to move to Romita and become Maria's apprentice."

"My friends and I have just returned from our trip, which included a week at Casa San Vito. We had a wonderful time. The house was very spacious and comfortable, and the location was terrific for day trips to see Tuscany. We also managed to slow down for a couple of days and just enjoy the surroundings, including the grape harvest that was in full swing. Franca spoiled us with fresh-baked grape tart, extra coverlets and an extra hair dryer (when she realized we were 6 women renting.) The family was very accommodating, considering how busy they were. We were sorry to leave. Thanks for representing such a great spot in Tuscany!"

"We just spent 10 days at Casa San Vito and from the time we walked in the door at the house, we all fell in love with Tuscany.  Francesco and Franca met us and our kitchen had fresh fruit, wine and olive oil.  We picked fresh fruit every day.  The first day we visited the market in Tavarnelle and stocked up with cheese, wine and all the wonderful Italian vegetables.  The location was a great place to be able to visit all the hill towns.  We were also privileged to be there during wine harvesting.  The day before we left, Franca brought us a grape cake that she just baked, a cake they make special during the harvest season.  Francesco visited a couple of times and he gave us a tour of the winery.  The house had every modern convenience and we all plan to return for a longer visit in the near future."

"I would recommend this villa highly. The view.........it was breathtaking, I never got tired of it and took lots and lots of pictures of the beautiful view. The mountains, the vineyards and olive trees were awesome. Also, the girls at the reception area spoke English pretty well, which helped with check-in."

"We just wanted you to know that we had a totally fabulous time at Borgo Bucine last week. We also were fortunate to have lovely weather, and thoroughly enjoyed our daytrips to Pisa, Siena, Montepulciano, and Arrezzo. We also visited one of the local wineries, Poggio Molina (website is www.poggiomolina.it) whom the owners recommended. This was one of the highlights of our trip....the vineyards are gorgeous and the wine cellar and tasting room was beautiful. It's run by a local family, and they even sent us back with a gift of wine for recommending them (we bought two cases of red and one of white)."
