In Villam temporary house

ChristinaRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Adriana and Gianfranco were the perfect hosts. We loved this place! Adriana has a beautiful soul, face and personality. She was so helpful and responsive. She replied immediatlely every time we messaged her. We took her up on her offer for a ride to Pompei, atms and a yummy pizza restaurant. However, the highlight of our stay was taking a boat trip around Capri with Gianfranco. If you are on the fence about whether or not to book a boat trip with them, just do it. The price is very fair and we got to see the famous Faraglioni rocks/island up-close, front and center. It was absolutely amazing! It's been a dream of mine for a very long time. We also saw some waterfalls that we were able to actually go into, some beautiful beaches, a "lovers" cave with a natural heart-shape in it and some grottos. We got close enough to the island of Capri to see a beautiful elephant statue, (my daughter's favorite) and a statue of a child perched high on an outcropped rock. It was a perfect 3 day stay.

Apartment in Florence, Italy

ErikaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Very cozy and safe home. We took the tram from the airport and Eugenia gave us directions on the easiest way to get to the apartment from the recommended stop. She explained and show how the multiple doors locks to the apartment and made sure we were able to open everything. She also provided a book with instructions on how to use the washer and food recommendations in the area. The bus stop is really close (5 min walk) and the train station is also a 15 minute walk away. At night it was pretty quiet and the bed was really comfy.

Sicilian Mountain Oasis - Entire Villa (Smart W.)

PeterRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Our apologies, Sicilian Mountain Oasis (SMO) unfortunately isn’t an Oasis. It’s heaven. Your wonderful hosts offer you an opportunity to enjoy and participate in a truly Sicilian experience with a cosy authentic farmhouse as your accommodation, wonderful mountainous vistas and fabulous Sicilian country cuisine. Do you feel like a sea change to unwind from the bustle of coastal towns? Truly, SMO is the place.”

Rosa’s apartment is beautifully renovated and spacious. The bed was comfortable and we had a great night sleep. If you watch the YouTube instructions it’s easy to find. Rosa was very kind to allow us to check out 1 hour later and always responsive. If you are looking to experience the centre of Naples surrounded by amazing food, this place is great!

Absolutely one of the best bnb’s we have stayed in. The views and private access to the beach were incredible. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Kind hosts, clean space- we spent a lot of time there cooking and relaxing on the balconies. Highly recommend!

A corner of paradise by the sea

AllisonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Just off the coast of Sardinia is a little a little slice of heaven. The home is exactly as per the photos and the scenery is spectacular. The host met us to set us up for succes upon check-in as there are many keys to ensure safety. We enjoyed many beaches and hikes near by. We explored local restaurants and loved the local people. We would absolutely return to stay.

Front Castle with Magical Medieval View and Beach

EmilyRating, 5 stars1 day ago
A beautiful location right central in Sirmione! Your view is literally a castle! It was very easy to walk anywhere within Sirmione, and near the taxi stand if you want to go anywhere else like a wine tour! Amazing location and Ugo was wonderful to deal/interact with! Would definitely recommend!

Hyperpanoramic. Very central. Up to 4 people

JeffRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Perfect location for enjoying the restaurants, bars, and sights of Napoli. Also highly recommend if you're thinking about day trips to Ischia, Procida, and Capri...the ferry port/marina is only 10 minute walk from the apartment. And while the location is the 'middle of it all', the architecture of the building keeps it quiet at night...you'll barely notice you're in the center of Napoli. Also, the view from the balcony is incredible and such a wonderful way to either enjoy sunrise, or the evening light at sunset hitting Vesuvius.

Colosseum Dream Casa, Rome city center.

DeidraRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I don’t think I have enough words to express how much I enjoyed meeting Lucia—she was an absolute delight! So kind, easy to talk to, and incredibly patient when walking me through all the details of the flat and how to get settled in. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe in the neighborhood. The location is spot-on—super close to the Colosseum with tons of bus and train options nearby. You’re right near the action but tucked away just enough to avoid the hustle and bustle (and the crowds trying to rope you in!). Honestly, I’d stay here every single time I visit Rome!

Rustic Villa in the Vineyards

MaddyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We loved relaxing here, this is a beautiful place to stay and chill, the views are stunning and the studio had everything we needed. One thing we did note as we were traveling with a baby there were no dark blinds, this wasn’t a problem but just might be useful to note for people traveling with a little one ☺️

Words cannot describe our gratitude and love for the time we spent at Rita's home! We loved every second and wish we could have stayed longer. We will absolutely be back to visit and stay.

Thank you so very much for your perfect hospitality Rita, we miss you already!

Incredible stay!! Hard to explain how beautiful the view is. The host was amazing - he gave us a tour of the property and shared its history. I highly recommend you book this little slice of heaven in Tuscany! If you are looking for a private, exclusive feel where you can drive to tons of wineries and see stunning views, this stay is hard to beat.

Tuscan cottage with an heavenly view

OliviaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Where do I even begin.. from the evenings drinking prosecco and eating snacks to our tuscan cooking class, memories of this trip will be forever cherished. They call it Heavens Window and for good reason- Maria and Allistair have created their own little paradise which they shared with us. Not only is the view beautiful, but so are our lovely hosts. They welcomed us onto their property and into their home and we couldn’t have asked for more. If you are looking for peace and quiet with an incredible view, this is your place. Highly recommend !!!!!!

I Tramonti di Eramo, Montepulciano city center.

MarkRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The appartment was full of character, there was plenty of space in every room, and we spent hours with a wine or two on the balcony taking in the wonderfully beautiful view. The location was a perfect balance of proximity to the action and quiet privacy. Easily the best of the 5 places we stayed in around Europe this year.

Typical Tuscan Country House WITH A/C

KathrynRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This is a dream location. In the countryside, peaceful and calm with beautiful views - but you can be parked and in the centre of Siena in 15 minutes. Beautiful Tuscan architecture and stunning views. Everything was super clean with every detail thought of to make a comfortable stay. We stayed for two weeks and didn’t want to leave. We had a car so access was easy but if you want a short stay I would recommend getting a taxi to drop you off and enjoy the peace and views.

Your guide to Italy

All About Italy

Italy is a country known for gastronomic delights, awe-inspiring art and cultural attractions, sweeping coastlines, historic architecture, esteemed fashion houses, and fantastical countryside. If immersing yourself in Italian city life is on your list, make sure you take in the big four metropolises of Rome, Venice, Milan, and Florence. These cities, respectively, contain the ancient Colosseum amphitheatre and the iconic churches and cathedrals of St. Mark’s Basilica, the Duomo di Milano, and the Duomo Santa Maria Del Fiore.

You could also explore the heralded wine country in Italy and seek out mouthwatering local fare in smaller cities like Bologna, the region of Tuscany, and fishing towns like Genoa. For outdoor enthusiasts, the Amalfi Coast and Italian Riviera, with their magical Mediterranean coastlines, and the Alps, with world-class skiing and the famous Lake Como, are almost too beautiful to be believed.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Italy

Northern Italy experiences four seasons and winter can be very cold, but much of southern Italy maintains a relatively temperate climate all year influenced by the Mediterranean. Spring and fall are popular times to visit because the weather is still pleasant and the number of visitors has thinned out.

Bear in mind that summer is the high season for traveling in Italy, especially along the Italian Riviera. Going in a shoulder season, or any time during the long Christmas holiday that begins on December 8 (Immaculate Conception) and ends on January 6 (Epiphany), could be your best bet, when crowds and apartment rentals in Italy are more manageable for the budget-conscious.


Top things to do in Italy

Florence

Immerse yourself in the art-rich Renaissance history in Florence. You’ll have the chance to visit many of the world’s greatest structures, including the UNESCO World Heritage listed 15th-century cathedral in the Piazza del Duomo; stroll across the Ponte Vecchio, the medieval bridge over the Arno River; and take in the museums and art galleries in the Palazzo Pitti on the south side of the Arno.

Boat into the Blue Grotto

On the coast of the jet-setting summer resort island of Capri in southern Italy is a hidden sea cave known as the Blue Grotto, or Grotta Azzurra. It’s a natural cavern where the Mediterranean waters shimmer in the sunlight, illuminating the interior and turning the water a translucent shade of indigo. There are many boats available for hire at the Marina Grande, so lay back and enjoy as your guide rows you into the depths of this ethereal cavern.

Puglia

In Italy’s Puglia region, you'll find trulli, historic cone-shaped limestone dwellings, some of which date back to the mid-14th century, dotted around the valleys. These UNESCO-protected little homes look like something out of a fantasy novel; in Italy, these houses are for rent and are among the most unique architectural structures in the country.
