  Here's just a small sampling of why Casa San Vito and its owners exceeded our expectations: *Lovely villa with modern appliances and beautiful furnishings *Beautiful vistas and enchanting olive and grape groves *Fine linens and more than enough dishes, towels, pots and pans for 7 of us to live and cook there for a week comfortably *The greatest asset had to be Francesco. His helpful and warm demeanor made us feel like he was our friend, not just our landlord for a week. He went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and pleasant. He was easy to reach when we had a problem (like me accidentally pushing the wrong buttons and turning our heat off) and eager to help us out in anyway he could (escorting us on a late night pizza run).

  Our family of four stayed at Casa San Vito in the hills near Florence and it was wonderful. The house is nicer than the photos. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. The kitchen is very functional (although the refrigerator is too cold and your milk will freeze) and we cooked a number of dinners there. The countryside is beautiful and the owners are delightful. Francesco (who speaks English very well) greeted us warmly and was very responsive if we had any issues (the house ran out of gas one night and he had the problem handled early the next morning). His mother, Franca does not speak any English, but she greeted us at our arrival with a bottle of their family olive oil and one of their own wine, which was lovely. I highly recommend this if you want to enjoy the Chianti hills. We had a very nice dinner at The Fattoria (a restaurant recommended by Francesco) nearby and were pleased to find the bus into Florence very convenient. The house is well situated for touring the whole of Tuscany.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at Casa San Vito. The owners were delightful, and Francesco was especially helpful because he spoke English. We learned about the harvesting of grapes. The surrounding area was beautiful. We liked dining at different restaurants in close by villages. All in all, it was a truly relaxing visit.

  We had the time of our lives in Casa San Vito in Tuscany. The Villa is beautiful and comfortable. It was very clean and had everything we needed. Its surrondings are just expectacular and the views from our bedroom window just priceless. We usted the Villa as our homebase and had day trips to the nearby towns; Florence is only 20 minutes away. We also explored Pisa, Lucca, Siena, San Gimigniano, Montepulciano, Bagno San Filippi and many other charming towns. Francesco and his mother Franca were very welcoming and kind. Francesco had a wonderful gesture towards my family. We usted 3 other rental agencies for our 3 week vacation and Lisa at Italy Perfect was by far the most professional of all. She was on top of every single detail, from sending reminders to making sure our expectations were met. Rest assured that by using Italy Perfect you will get your the best of the best and most importantly, peace of mind.

  The service was good. We were met within 45 minutes of arriving. Everything was clean and tidy, the appliances worked and the kitchen was well equipped. The location was perfect. Easy day trip to Florence and/or Sienna, and to the ancient town of Volterra. We rented and rode bikes west of San Casciano on another day. The grocery store in San Casciano was well-stocked and enabled us to have lots of flexibility with our meals. The house was quiet and and surrounded by beautiful countryside views. Although it was hot, the screens and windows allowed a nice breeze through the house in the afternoon and evening. One negative was that the window screen in the master bedroom was broken and could not be fixed during our stay, so we had to keep that window closed to keep the mosquitos out. Overall, as a result of our stay here, I feel my family and I have a good knowledge and understanding of Tuscany.

  We enjoyed our stay at Casa San Vito a geat deal. The house was beautifully restored,clean and comfortable for 6 adults (friends). The beds were all very cozy with down comforters and pressed sheets. Francesco and his mother were very friendly and helpful. Location is a little off the beaten trail but with the little grocery down the lane you could access everything you might need. It is a great location for driving to places in Tuscany which we did every day. A suggestion for October stays - have wood available for the fireplace. We managed with a small saw we found. Thank-you, Lisa, for the friendly, efficient correspondance. Your info package is excellent and we referred to it often. I hope we will be checking with you in the future because we would love to return to Italy.

  I wanted to thank you for my Italian holiday, which was indeed perfect. Casa San Vito so lived up to expectations, exactly the degree of comfort and charm that I wished for. The owners were, of course, charming and helpful, and oh, the beauty of the countryside! To open the shutters and see that landscape each morning was blissful. You provided an exceptionally thorough and helpful orientation. Quite extraordinary in how comprehensive it was. I hope that I will be fortunate enough to return and can require your assistance again!

  We enjoyed Casa San Vito very much. The house is very comfortable and there were only a few very minor issues to dealt with (the halogen ceiling track lights are too hot for the dimmer and circuitry to handle so they sometimes burned out or went off and on. Francesco, the owner's very helpful son, tried to remedy this problem but the lighting issue has to be retooled to be effective.) The views were unbelievably beautiful. We found this house very comfortable for 4 people and there was even a small extra bedroom for one or two more guests (perhaps children.) All the furniture is fine, not fancy but very adequate. The kitchen was well enough equipped for simple meals.The bed linens were very pleasant (changed weekly) and the bathrooms are more than adequate. The house was spotless. Here are the things to be aware of: The road to the cottage is dirt and rocks so be careful with a low standing vehicle. Your undercarriage will be hit. Often. You need to be prepared to drive quite a ways to the Co-op [grocery store] in San Casciano or Tavernelle. But you will find them to be outstanding supermarkets. We loved the mini mart in nearby La Romita which met many immediate needs. Driving in Tuscany can be hair raising and their poor road signs added to our sometime frustration. A GPS is very helpful. But if you like hair pin turns on mountain roads with gorgeous views you will be in heaven. Italy Perfect was fine to deal with although they really did not give any written instructions about using the television when we wanted occasionally to get the English language news. This would be easy to amend if they chose to improve that services. [Thank you for that useful suggestion. Verbal instructions were provided at check in but we will supplement this with written instructions. Lisa, Italy Perfect] There are bees and gnats on the patio bring insect repellent. Now that I have listed the problems, let me say that the cheerfulness of the owners made up for some of these deficiencies. They were a wonderful family whom we thoroughly enjoyed.
