Thinking of booking your next vacation in Italy? Want to secure your holiday asap? Hate waiting around? Then, we think you should learn all about our instant booking feature! 

While many of our properties can be booked right away, some do require the owner of the vacation rental in Italy to approve the booking before it can be confirmed. This usually only takes a day or two and shouldn’t overly delay you but it does mean that the process is not totally instantaneous. Maybe you don’t mind waiting (and they do say that good things come to those who wait!) and you might be especially happy to do so if the property in question is your dream villa in Italy and the perfect setting for the getaway you have been fantasising about. However, you might instead want to have it all sorted and organised right away with only the holiday left to enjoy.

Not only do we help new customers find dream options for a vacation in Italy but we have plenty of customers who come back to Italy Villas and our parent website, Easy Reserve, year after year! It is these customers who can really relay the experience of booking a villa in Italy with us and point out why many choose to return for our great selection of properties, excellent communication, help all throughout the booking process and the vacation itself (should you need us for anything during your stay) and our team of seasoned villa experts who are always on-hand to help customers find holiday rentals in Italy that suit their tastes and needs.

So, if you have been dreaming of a getaway in a gorgeous vacation rental in Italy and you want a more personable, and personalised, hands-on, and dedicated touch, then we’re a perfect fit - but don’t just take it from us! Here are what some of those repeat customers have been saying over on our Trustpilot profile...

More and more often, people choose to travel with their pets. When an animal is such a beloved member of the family, it can be impossibly difficult to leave them behind while you go off on an adventure. If you are the kind of person who wishes that your four-legged friend could join in on those adventures, then why not consider our pet-friendly villas in Italy? These vacation rentals all allow guests to bring along a pet (or maybe two) upon request in advance of your holiday in Italy. 

Planning on holidaying in Italy this summer and staying in one of our incredible villas in Italy this summer? Well, then you’re probably considering your itinerary, looking up nearby attractions, learning about the country and the area in which you will be staying in particular, and picking up the odd thing here and there ahead of your trip. You’re likely looking forward to the getaway with excitement. If this is the case and you are wondering just what you should prepare in advance and what you should bring with you, then here is our guide to the key items to pack for a summer vacation in Italy…

If you have booked a villa in Pisa in the wider province and are thinking about planning visits into the city and her most famous attractions, or you have booked a holiday rental in Tuscany and are considering a day-trip to the city, you will likely be concerned about parking. Parking is, undoubtedly, the worst part about driving – finding it, paying for it, planning around it. In a historic city like Pisa, as well, parking can be especially tricky and complicated. So, where should you park when visiting Pisa?

Like many of the most charming and historic towns and cities in Italy, Pisa has a centre that is protected in order to preserve it. As part of this protection, traffic is limited in areas and cannot be accessed without a special permit or you will incur fines – and even if you’re going back home to another country, these fines will follow you like an unwanted and unwelcome souvenir as car rental companies will forward them to you.
