As we come into fall, we’ve had our busy tourism months and have welcomed lots of customers to enjoy perfect getaways in Italy this summer. Now, an abundance of new reviews are being published as those guests return home to daily life after dream holidays and have a chance to reflect on their stay with Italy Villas. If you’re already looking forward to your next vacation and are looking for some inspiration in order to plan a perfect trip of your own, then why not check out what some of our customers have to say about some brilliant villas in Italy that would make for an ideal holiday destination in 2024...

“We had the best week here. The sunsets are just magical! Such a wonderful house with everything you need.”

Borgo Al Castello is a gorgeous old stone farmhouse in the Umbrian countryside, 2km (1 mile) from the town of Montecastelli in the province of Perugia. Divided into six different units, the property boasts lush green surroundings and plentiful trees hugging the buildings; incredible views over the lovely landscape; a perfectly kitted out pool area with loungers, parasols, and dining areas framing it; a private gym; and additional services like private chef services, personalised tours of the area, a maid service, pre-stocked fridges, and a baby sitting service, that can be offered at an extra cost. Luxurious, historic, full of character and original details, this is a gem of a property and a proper little escape for those who wish to holiday in Italy or enjoy a villa in Umbria. Among the six units that can be found at Borgo Al Castello, however, Casa Tettoia has to be one of the most plush and desirable. 

When you are trying to plan the perfect vacation in Italy and you are browsing through the amazing and endless array of remarkable villas across our website, it can be hard to narrow it down and to decide upon exactly the right vacation rental for you and your travel companions! We sometimes spotlight particular favourites over on our blog or put together curated lists of properties according to location or a feature (being close to the sea, being romantic, being perfect for larger groups/weddings, etc). Some villas will be displayed on our homepage due to availability for certain periods or being part of a special offer. However, if you want the opinion of a previous renter and a customer rather than our choices – if you want to find out about the experience of actually staying in a property, what that feels like and which villas boast particularly charming features – then the best thing that you can do is go to our customer reviews page.

Here, you can read all about the experiences of previous guests; what they noted as special, if they would return again, what kind of holiday they had, nearby attractions to make note of, if a property is suitable for small kids, etc. Some of these reviews are lengthy and will touch on all sorts of information but some will only give a little glimpse of what you can expect – whatever detail lingers most in their mind – and this can be a key insight that only a previous guest could have about booking a particular villa. Both kinds of reviews are helpful in different ways but we’ll let you decide which ones to pay heed to or see which reviews catch your attention and imagination by letting you click through to check them out for yourself.

In the meantime, here is a curation of some recent reviews and what you can expect as well as what our customers are saying about the experience of booking a dream villa in Italy with us...

When you are looking to book a villa with us and come to our website, you will quickly discover that there are various filters and tools that you can use in order to make your searches more efficient.

For example, you can choose a destination, like Tuscany and see only our vacation rentals in Tuscany. Then, when you have those results, you can use our various filters to ensure that the properties being suggested to you offer things such as a particular number of bedrooms, a pool, air-conditioning, etc, or that they fall within a certain price range, allow pets, are accessible, are close to or in a town, are near the sea, etc.

Once you have all of your filters in place to help you find a property with all of the features that you need you can then also use the Select Sort drop-down feature found just across from where you are given the number properties that fit your criteria so that you can organise these results in a particular order: Rating High-to-low, Price low-to-high, Price high-to-low, etc.

All of these filters and sorting tools are really helpful in narrowing down your search, particularly for a destination with such a great number of options to choose from on our website like Tuscany, and we highly recommend that you make use of them in order to help you readily find the perfect fit for you and your needs!
