We often share reviews of our properties from our customers and why they highlight certain properties as especially impressive and worth your while. However, if you head over to Trustpilot, you will see that almost 500 customers have also reviewed our company and our services, rather than just vacation rentals in Italy themselves. This allows you to understand that what really sets us, and our parent company Easy Reserve, apart is not just the incredible selection of villas in Italy and elsewhere that we have for you to choose between but the quality of care, attention, and service that you can expect from our team when you contact us. 

Whether you're looking for free personalised advice to help you find something specific, you want to plan a big gathering, you want to find a destination wedding villa in Italy, or if you just want to rest assured you'll always have a real person to talk to should you need anything. We also offer support and care before, during, and after your stay, giving you peace of mind from day one. But don't just take our word for it, if you have been dreaming about planning your next trip, allow our customers to explain why you should book with us...

For ultimate lakeside luxury and style in Italy, FLOR Grand Lake Villa is a true dream villa located on the shores of Lake Maggiore in Stresa. A stunning historic home in an ideal location with all of the mod-cons and creature comforts that you could ask of a luxury villa in Italy, it is the perfect place to escape to for a taste of la dolce vita. Enjoy cocktails overlooking the lake, lazy days lounging by your private pool, meals al fresco under the plant-draped pergola, and waking up to perfect views and dream interiors. Sleeping up to twelve guests in six bedrooms with eight bathrooms, this gem still has availability for 2026 but if you're trying to get the gang together for an unforgettable summer trip then maybe it's time to start thinking ahead to 2027...

Well, if so, simply contact us and our  team will help you to organise everything so that you can really make the most of your time in the country and so that you have nothing to worry about!

Continuing our new series of identifying the best and most unique bucket list items to add to your Italian itinerary in addition to the more traditional examples that many will note – the Uffizi, Milan's iconic Cathedral, Vatican City, and more – we have another gem that we think you should make a point to see if you are booking a vacation rental in Rome: the sculptor Bernini's magical and mind-blowing ability to turn marble into flesh.

This incredibly gifted 17th century sculptor and architect left a huge stamp on Vatican City with his designs for St Peter's and his multiple sculptures that are famous for their extraordinary optical illusions and immense skill. He managed to act out full scenes with his sculpted figures through their expressive faces and the changing perspectives viewers were offered as they walked around a piece. However, Bernini's greatest feat might perhaps be on display in his piece, the Abduction of Proserpina.
