And we're back with yet another Villa Spotlight!

This week we're taking a trip to the area of Montecatini Alto where we are looking at a fabulous Villa called Villa Le Ferrette (No longer available).

This wonderful property is located on an estate of about 10 hectares with a garden, orchard and forest on the property.

The property sleeps up to 24 people in 12 bedrooms and if has a fantastic swimming pool, teble tennis, terrace and various other amenities.

The town of Montecatini is less the 2km distance away and it is known well for its thermal spas. There are also various shops, cinemas, restaurantes, horse riding, golf and more nearby this wonderful property.

And we're back with another Villa Spotlight!

This time we're taking a trip to Foiano Della Chiana in the Arezzo countryside to a spectacular Villa that sleeps up to 15 people in 8 bedrooms!

Villa Laura has beautiful panoramic views and very stylish architecture and spacious gardens with its own private pool for guest use.

The bedrooms are tastefully decorated and there is plenty of counter space in the kitchen for cooking.

We think that one of the best thing about this villa is the room with the snooker table. It is perfect for relaxing and having fun in with friends and family. There is even a chess set in the corner!

What says more about a company than comments from previous customers? Nothing in our opinion so we are now publishing comments from our clients that have booked with us in the past. Customers are asked to rate the company on few important subjects including customer service, selection of villas, website ease-of-use, payment system and the most important question "Would you recommend the website to a friend?'.

In March our team (with families... a big group) went to visit the Villa Ardene (no longer available) – a beautiful estate situated just down the road (1 km) from the hilltop town Montepulciano, aka the “Pearl of the 16th century”, in the south of Tuscany.

The owners Daniela and Benedetta (mother and daughter) showed us around and we were amazed by all the fine details and the superior quality of the restoration.

The furniture all in solid walnut and chestnut wood, skilfully restored in its original style.

Each bathroom a real example of luxury and elegance: natural stones and mosaics, the Bisazza’s mosaics and gems, handmade Greek frets painted by prestigious craftsmen. The chandeliers are unique pieces made in Murano, near Venice.

Another spotlight.... so do you really want to get away from it all, no noise, no traffic, no internet ? Just nature and beauty ?? We have it: Il Casale. This is just the typical Tuscan house and how you would imagine it, it's just that the pictures don't do it justice.

The owner Adriana takes such care of her house and the grounds, it's incredible. She's an old lady but still going strong, just leave her a note in the Guestbook ! So what you don't really see from the description and the pictures is that the interiors have been furnished with great taste and detail, and that the garden around the house is huge. There is no pool but who needs one if you can swim in the cristal clear water of the Farma river (walking distance from the house). Satisfaction Guaranteed !
