Italy holiday rentals

We received a warm welcome from the family and a thorough explanation of the facilities, the surrounding area and places of interest. Fabrizio communicated easily with us using the translation phone app. The apartment is very clean, well equipped and offers a genuine Italian experience. Simply wonderful.

We were amazed at how close we were to everything! The apt is in a 14th century building with a secure entrance to the courtyard. If you have difficulty with stairs then you’ll want the pullout couch and downstairs bathroom. Upstairs is great for agile users. Lots of steps and challenging space in the bathroom . All in all it had everything we needed and we enjoyed our stay. We would there again!!

The property was homely, rustic and welcoming. The owners did everything to make us comfortable with their own produce and wine.

A relaxing stay in the high end of Amalfi, about a 10 -15 minute walk from the port . A Lovely outdoor area of the accommodation , with extremely helpful hosts . A small local bus runs up and down from the centre of the town if you don’t feel like walking . Roberto the host collected us with our luggage from the port . Very smooth communication .

Lovely peaceful and relaxing setting within a vineyard overlooking Orvieto.

Maurizio's top floor apartment/bedsit is on the small side but was more than adequate for two and with a spacious terrace provides extra living space in warmer weather. Maurizio provided everything you would expect and more including coffee, croissants, shampoo, good wifi, and there was even a beer in the fridge. Added to this was a one hour tour of the local area on arrival with a free history lesson thrown in. The apartment is well located about 30mins walk from the Vatican and a 20min bus ride from the Colosseum and about 30mins ride to Roma Termini. All in all a good value apartment for a reasonable price with all you need and a very hospitable host.. Highly recommended

Good points: weather permitting the rear verandah is superb for outdoor dining with a fantastic view overlooking Lucca. Bedroom accommodation size was good and pleasantly decorated. Upstairs bedroom windows equipped with flyscreens and shutters. The kitchen and laundry was adequate for small numbers. The water spring at the bottom of the hill was refreshing and provided many a bottle of fresh water. The Bad: on arrival and departure luggage transfers was possible via a deteriorated steep pathway or many stairs through an adjoining private property which proved difficult. Daily movements through neighbours property felt uncomfortable and intrusive. The internal living area in the property is too small for the suggested number of people to be comfortably accommodated. The ugly: In our opinion driving on the access road to the property after dark is not safe and prohibited our movement in the evenings. The dishwasher filter was extremely dirty and was in need of a good clean. The mould around the shower recess was given a good clean together with the tiles on the kitchen bench as they were mouldy and unhygenic. The toilet brushes require replacing.
