This was an absolutely wonderful place to stay! The compound of Flavia was so recently renovated that we felt like we were in a brand new modern apartment when we were inside and in a charming little village when we were outside. The grounds are beautiful and inviting with a lovely pool and multiple seating areas as well as beautiful views. Check in and out was very easy! Our security deposit was returned in full. I forgot that 2nd floor in Europe is the 3rd floor to Americans. The staircase to our apt. on the actual 3rd floor was very steep and narrow. Had I known that, I’d have asked for a lower floor. I would have felt perfectly safe on the ground floor. All of the apartments, pool, and parking are in what is like a conclave and is secured by high fences and a locked gate. The owners could not have been nicer! We had quite a bit of trouble finding Flavia and would suggest a sign go up in the village as other vacation homes have done. I would also suggest good written directions.
I highly recommend Flavia! You will love the modern conveniences and the charming old world ambience. The location is fabulous – so close to Lucca, Pisa, and an easy drive to Cinque Terre and the Italian Rivera. I would also highly recommend Easy Reserve Vacation Villas as a booking agent. Great website, info, and service.

We loved out stay at Villa Caprera. It was beautiful as well as clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed. The location was great for day trips to most of the hill towns in Tuscany. Neighbors were very friendly. Be sure to visit the little market down on the corner. We had cappaccino there every morning. We enjoyed talking to Gabri and her husband (owners) even though we only speak a little Italian and they spoke a little English. We would definately go back!

It was very quiet and in a beautiful place. The house was well equipped, clean and the swimming pool is nice. The hosts are kind and helpful. We enjoyed everything.

Staying at Casa Ivan was the highlight of my trip to Italy. We rented the house for three weeks and used it as our homebase, coming back to it after a few days in different places around Italy. We were always very eager to get back to Cortona and Casa Ivan. The family who owns the home and live upstairs are the kindest people I've ever met and made us all feel at home and part of the family. We had wonderful baked goods, special treats, espresso in the afternoons in the kitchen upstairs. It was just a treat to be at Casa Ivan. I am already planning my return trip, they family truly strives to make their home feel like your second home. They are very successful at doing this and making you feel part of the family. The house is so comfortable, the grounds beautiful, the location relaxing. I can't get back soon enough!

Villasenaia "far" exceeded our expectations...it was absolutely fabulous. We "will" stay again. Our week there was, by far, the highlight of our stay in Italy. In a word....stunning. Our host was incredibly cordial, engaging and overwhelmingly friendly. We had the time of our lives at Villasenaia. Like I said....we will be back.

We loved Al Mennucci! Perfect location, gorgeous view, wonderful setting...best vacation ever! Just be aware the road is a bit tough to navigate up to the house, but if you can rough it up, it is worth it!

We just returned from a week at Lavacchio...what an amazing property! The villa itself is exactly as photographed. The owners have done a superb job furnishing every room. We were 9 adults and 3 children and were more than comfortable in the space without booking the additional two rooms. The location just outside of Montalcino is spectacular. We enjoyed many of the local restaurants, as well as two cooked meals on property prepared by the lovely groundskeeper. The villa is equipped with Wifi and has three dining tables...kitchen, dining room and a lovely covered area off of the kitchen. The pool was great...seems to have some sort of leak and chairs could stand to be updated, but that would be my only criticism. I searched for months to find a villa and I can honestly say this one is close to perfect!

Cette villa est pratiquement parfaite sauf pour deux choses. D'abord il n'y a pas de BBQ ce qui ne permet pas de cuisiner à l'extérieur, ce qui est fort dommage considérant la beauté des lieux extérieurs. Secondo, chaque matin ou le jardinier venait faire l'entretien, il manquait d'eau pour au moins 2 salles de bains à l'intérieur. Pour le reste, nous recommandons cette villa car nous y avons passés une merveilleuse semaine et nous serions prêt à y retourner à la première occasion.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] This villa is almost perfect except for two things. First there is no BBQ so it is not possible to cook outside, which is a shame considering the beautiful outdoor venues. Second, every morning the gardener came to water the plants, the water lacked in at least two bathrooms inside. For the rest, we recommend this villa because we spent a wonderful week and we would be ready to return at the first opportunity.
