Italy hotels

Alessandra was great to deal with, very helpful and welcoming. Excellent location for everything we wanted to see and do. Close to shop for daily necessities and food. Although in a very central location, it was much quieter than expected at night. Good broadband too.

Elisa and her family have a beautiful apartment for you to stay in, set in a gorgeous garden with a private outdoor area, table and chairs (parasol for shade) and charcoal BBQ at your disposal. The space is accessed via steps outside, you enter a large kitchen/dining area which is lovely and cool, with everything you need. The bathroom is also large with a nice shower, and the bedroom is also perfect and cool with a large bed. Elisa has been the perfect host from the very first email communication, and during our stay she was on hand to provide invaluable advice (for example where to park to get the tram into Florence - just 1 Euro for the day!). I have nothing negative to say at all - this is a 5* review!

Beautiful, cozy apartment in one of the most picturesque streets in Trastevere. Away from the crowds, quiet and peaceful but all the restaurants, cafes and bars right on the doorstep. Comfortable bed and lounge area. Great power shower. Well appointed bathroom. Everything you need for a perfectly romantic stay in Roma. We will return!

What a find Podere la Valle was! Beautiful setting in the heart of Chianti - the place is a really magical spot. Jerome has clearly put a lot of hard work, love and attention to detail into everything at the property. It is genuinely hard to find any fault. Yasmin was our point of contact during the stay and was really excellent at helping us out with any small questions we had. The place was immaculate throughout - extremely well looked after by the staff and also by fellow guests over the years. It was the perfect spot to switch off (although the WiFi was excellent if required) from the real world and reconnect with nature - I think I saw more species of butterfly in one week here than in the rest of my entire life put together! I guess the only comment I would make is that we stayed during June and even then, at 30 degrees during the day it did get warm during the night. There was no Aircon in our house. Great from a sustainability perspective and actually there’s plenty of windows and shutters to control the temperature naturally. But if you do like it cold you might struggle in warmer months. I think fans are available? Regardless don’t let that put you off. There’s always the amazing infinity pool to cool off in and plenty of shaded areas with hammocks to relax in the warmer hours. In short - you won’t be disappointed!

Our stay in the villa was very enjoyable. Antonio and his wife were very welcoming and showed us all around the property as well as around the local area. Nothing was too much trouble for Antonio and he was always very helpful and gave us lots of recommendations of places to eat and visit. The villa was spacious and the swimming pool was a lifesaver as there was a heatwave during our 2 week stay in southern Italy. The area was very quiet and tranquil. The villa was very secure too. The restaurants within the local area were very reasonable in prices. The sea was one of the best I've visited with crystal clear and water that felt warm. My only recommendation would be for the villa to have better air conditioning or ceiling fans in the bedrooms as it got unbearably hot at night. Overall we had a great holiday and stay in the villa and would like to thank Antonio for being such a great host.
