Magic Stay in Italy
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A week at Rasina is not to be missed! It is a great value. The service was excellent and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. It is a great base for day trips and visits to wineries. The meals were some of the best we had in Italy. This would be a wonderful place for a family reunion or a group vacation. Breakfast in the sunshine overlooking the valley - Superb!
