Mrs Tessie was a delight. The property has a lot of character, and early morning coffee back porch sitting was a must!

The host is very friendly and accommodating. The unique and historic property is the host’s pride and joy which is reflected in the beautiful landscaping and decorating throughout the property. The location was perfect as we prefer a quiet and suburban/rural setting. Set on the periphery of a popular and rapidly growing area, this property is a true oasis. We look forward to visiting again soon.

Make sure you check in with the property owner about check in time. We were in need of a later check in because of my work schedule. She doesn’t want an after dark check in. We had no idea she felt like that until we had paid for the stay. It all worked out but we felt really bad

Villa Piccolo

Excellent vacation home and great location in the countryside a short distance from local towns and areas of interest. The apartment was very well furnished and very clean. The owner Tessie was very friendly and helpful and showed great hospitality. We were free to come and go as we pleased without any interruptions during our stay. The vacation home was exactly as described and the furnishings were better than some places that I have stayed. You really feel at home here and can cook at home or do laundry with everything you need to get the job done. Highly recommended!

Best kept secret in Alabama

The Villa Piccolo was a wonderful place to spend my week. It was exactly like the information said it was. Tess, the hostess, was a great person. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about the Fairhope community. The lack of cable TV or internet is bearly noticeable because of the amount of activity in the area. This is a great little place just on the edge of the hussle and bussle of town or the Bay and a quick drive to the gulf beaches. Really looking forward to my next visit there.

Villa Piccolo

I went to Fairhope, Al to visit friends and rented the cutest and cleanest Villa. The property owner, Ms. Tessie was so sweet and engaging. The property itself is gorgeous and quaint. There are beautiful flowers and shrubs all over. It was quiet and relaxing. I will most certainly stay here on my next visit to Fairhope and would recommend this place to anyway looking for a nice and quiet spot to exhale and just relax. It is close enough to anything you may need yet far enough away from city distractions. This is my new go to place. Would give it ten stars if I could.

A wonderful experience. The only complaint we had was we expected there to be a separate bedroom per the listing and it was a studio.

Tracy and her husband were great guests. Sorry she was confused about the listing; it is clearly stated on the listing that Villa Piccolo has 1 queen-size bed in a bedroom/sitting room; along with many other amenities. I would never intentionally deceive a guest about such an important issue, and have never had a guest question what is provided, as evidenced by many prior positive reviews.

Loved It!

Our stay at Villa Piccolo was wonderful. Our cottage was spotless, charming and had every thing we needed. Our host Tess immediately welcomed us and made us feel comfortable and at home. The location was perfect for us. We were within 10 to 20 mins from every venue in Baldwin County that we wanted to visit. Yet we were in this beautiful, peaceful farming community with Tess ' alluring Villa being right in the mix of it all. You cannot step outside without wanting to spend some time in her beautiful courtyard. The sunrises over the vast peanut field behind our villa and the sunsets beyond the house over the farmland were magnificent. Tess, was born and raised here and she was eager & willing to share her knowledge of the area. Anyone can tell that she has put love and passion into her little slice of heaven. Stay here and not only will you enjoy the accommodations, but you will fall in love with Tess.
