Customer reviews are really helpful in planning a holiday and, luckily, we have plenty of them for you to peruse. As such, we thought it a good idea to compile a list of our most reviewed properties in Italy to give you an idea of some of the excellent villas and experiences you can expect when you book with us! Here are two more examples.

5. Villa Carolina

Villa Carolina is a wonderful 3 bedroom villa located in the centre of Tuscany in the beautiful wine region between Florence and Siena, just 1 km from the tiny historic hamlet of Linari. Charmingly decorated with excellent views over the surrounding landscape, Judy K from Gualala in the United States had this to say of the property: “We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Tuscany -- the location was perfect, and the views were gorgeous. We were only able to enjoy the pristine pool once due to the cooler weather, but we still enjoyed relaxing on the huge deck.

Continuing on from our last post, we have been discussing some of our most-reviewed properties in Italy to help you find the right holiday destination with your peace of mind assured.

3. Podere Il Doccio

Podere Il Doccio is a beautiful property that is comprised of four private units. Located in the Arno Valley, 9 km from Terranuova Bracciolini, it is a lovely and peaceful place. Arezzo, Greve In Chianti, Florence, Siena and Montepulciano are all close enough for day trips but the property itself is so quiet and pleasant that you might never want to leave.

In the penultimate post in this series, we are looking at some more of the finest and most famous wineries in Italy. No trip to Italy would be complete without enjoying the local cuisine and wine that the country is so famous for and there are few activities that are more pleasant and relaxing on a holiday than visiting a winery. Tour the grounds, learn about Italian wine and, of course, sample some!

The Vatican Museums in are located in Vatican City, a state within the city of Rome and are made up of 100 galleries and over 1400 rooms dedicated to Renaissance arts, Catholic Church history, as well as some interesting Etruscan, Ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman collections. It is the largest exhibition space in the world, home to the Sistine Chapel, the Belvedere Apollo and the frescoed “Stanze” by Raphael and you could spend years visiting and still find more to see each and every time.

If you have found a vacation rental in Rome and are only able to dedicate a day or two to the museums, rather than years, this series of guides will help you get started and plan your visit! In this post we will discuss some more of the highlights of the museums so that you can pick the ones you are most interested in and focus on those during your visit but be sure to also read to earlier posts in this series for more information about tickets, tours and more!

The Vatican Museums in Rome are one of the world's most visited museums in the world and the most visited museum in Italy and attracts over seven million visitors each year; for good reason, as well.

It is a truly exceptional and awe-inspiring place with endless incredible worlds of art (such as the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel), Ancient Egyptian, Roman and Greek masterpieces, architectural gems and much more besides.

With enough to see and do for lifetimes, the museums truly are a must-see for those who have found vacation rentals in Rome. Just read through our series of guides on how to visit and what to see and stop by. Here are some more of the highlights.
