In the past few months, we have been highlighting what our customers have to say about our vacation rentals in Italy in which they have enjoyed 5-star stays. This, we have felt, has given our future and returning guests an idea about what a holiday in a particular property might be like, from the perspective of someone who has experienced it. In order to add to this, we have decided to focus on a few recently reviewed holiday rentals in Italy and share, not only a guest’s reasons to recommend it from experience, but our opinions as experts on perfect vacations. So, here’s why our customers recommend some dream villas in Italy and here’s why we agree with them...
Villa In Garfagnana, located near Fosciandora, Tuscany
Available from €450 - €914
Why our customers recommend it:
According to Anna R’s review, “You can't get more of a Tuscany feeling. The villa is absolutely stunning. Equipment top, bathroom very modern, beds all comfortable, everything very clean. Leonardo was always available, very helpful and always in a good mood. The two gardeners were also very committed and great. Unfortunately, the time passed far too quickly, it was simply fantastic.”
Why we recommend it:
This stunning six bedroom, six bathroom Tuscan villa boasts a private pool, elegant grounds, panoramic views, beautiful historic rooms and charming Tuscan interiors. Those who stay here will have little incentive to leave as the pool, hot tub, al fresco dining and lounging areas, and dreamy garden with its blooms and little hidden corners will offer plenty of opportunities to relax and unwind. However, you should also head out into the stunning scenery that is visible from the terraces and the house: explore the hiking routes where meadows are blanketed with flowers, head out onto the peaceful lakes of the area to fish or swim or boat, explore nearby villages immersed in the lush greenery of Tuscany, descend into the extraordinary cave system of the Grotta del Vento close by, and more! All made more appealing by knowing that you have dreamy bedrooms like something from a fairy tale or palace to return home to.
Bricco Delle Rondini, located near Montà, Piedmont
Available from €128 - €253

According to Gwyn H’s review, “We had a great week, the highlight was the beautiful salt water pool. The surrounding roads were quiet to explore the area, vineyards and restaurants. It was great to have wine onsite also to buy if required! Michela was super helpful and responsive, grazie.”
Why we recommend it:
Another beyond picturesque gem, this cottage is nestled among lush meadows and vineyards and boasts beautiful grounds, an incredible swimming pool with a gorgeous area for lounging around it and taking in the views, nearby amenities such as shops and restaurants, elegant modern interiors and a charming exterior with brick facing, blue shutters on the windows and doors, a terracotta roof, and balconies. Brimming with adorable character and perfectly located for delving into Piedmont and enjoying some foodie adventures, it is the perfect place to relax, eat well, and slow down.
Poggio Falcone, located near Castiglione Del Lago
Available from €355 - €670
Why our customers recommend it:
According to Malcolm H’s review, “We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the villa suited our needs perfectly. In particular the owners made us feel at home and the home cooking and hospitality in their restaurant was so good we ate there half the time! The only downside to our stay was some guests were bitten by mosquitoes.”
Why we recommend it:
A 19th century manor house found in a panoramic position on a hilltop that overlooks Lake Chiusi, 7km from the town of Chiusi, with the lush green fields and hills of Umbria all around, this remarkable villa sleeps up to 16 guests in 7 bedrooms, with 6 bathrooms.
