Europe rentals with pool

We had a nice stay here for 3 nights while visiting family in Limerick. Pat is a terrific host and very quick to answer any questions we had.

The Villa was simply stunning. There were 8 of us and we all felt we had plenty of space. The pool was glorious and with the surrounding countryside it was just so peaceful and relaxing. The kitchen was great to cook in for our family dinners. The walk to the bus seemed longer than 1 mile but, once you got to the bus, it was a quick ride into the heart of Florence. We found the transit super easy to navigate, when compared to other places in Europe we have stayed, and so we were able to take day trips to Bologna, Pisa, Verona, Siena and San Gimignano. Marinella was super helpful and, had she not been around, we would not have been able to find a van to get us to the airport for our next flight without her help. We would definitely stay at the villa again if we came back to Florence.

Seven of us stayed at Ta Torri in the first week of May. The photographs on the website accurately convey the historic charm of the villa and tower room, and the beauty of the courtyard and garden. Updates to the kitchen and bathrooms provided all the comforts we needed. The layout of the villa is a bit idiosyncratic, but groups of family or friends should not have any issues. Given the time of year, the pool temperature was a little cool so there were only some brief dips. But it’s a scenic place for lounging. We chose to manage without a car. Walking, buses, and the reasonably-priced Uber allowed us to get to all the places of interest we wanted (Valletta, Mdina, Birgu, Dingli Cliffs, etc). We loved the village and were happy to be in a quiet spot where we appeared to be the only tourists. Greengrocers and the Maypole convenience store were only minutes away. All the people we interacted with were friendly and welcoming. When we waited at the wrong bus stop, locals stopped and offered advice. English plus our few words of Maltese took us wherever we needed to go. We hope to be back.

The apartment is spacious and the view is incredible - wonderful to watch the sun set over Lake Geneva while having dinner on the balcony. Close to all amenities (201 bus is about a seven minute walk) but be aware that Montreux is very hilly and the apartment is on a very steep slope so be prepared for a workout!

The villa was spacious and clean and well appointed, the views from the terrace and pool are jaw dropping, cannot be captured in the photos, the quiet serenity of many acres of orchards and olive trees and the hiking trail to the sea felt like being at a private oasis of tranquility and beauty. The staff was very kind and helpful for all our needs. We had a marvellous vacation there with day trips to Minori and Ravello and Positano.
