We enjoyed our stay. This was our 3rd visit to one of Tessies properties and she is the best hostess. The unit is very clean and very comfy. Thank you again for an incredible stay.

I really enjoy staying here. It's so peaceful and calm. Tessie is an amazing hostess.
The Villa is always clean and cozy. It is our home away from home and we are so thankful that we found this gem.

This couple have stayed with me in various houses many times. They are very considerate of me and my property, and are always welcome back anytime. I would recommend them to any host.
I love how Tessie has a little spot outside for us to relax at the end of our day. This place is a little piece of relaxation heaven. She has done a great job making us feel at home.

This couple is a pleasure to host; they are so appreciative of me and my property. I would recommend them to any host.
We enjoyed our stay so much. It was just as pictured, clean, comfortable bed, no problems working the tv, ac worked great. It’s off the beaten path and Tessie is a very sweet hostess! We highly recommend this place. I think my husband would’ve stayed if he had had his recliner. Lol! We would definitely stay again!

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!

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.

Thank you for being such a great guest; feel free to come and visit when you are next in the area.
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.
We had a great stay. Tessie was very easy going. I enjoyed our little visit. She went above and beyond to find a souvenir for my grandson.
Place was very clean and cozy.
Thank you Tessie for a great vacation.

It was a pleasure hosting you. Hope to see you again soon.
This property was very clean and the ideal place for us to stay. It is close to everything in Fairhope but also ideal if you just need a place to relax.
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.
A quiet, pleasant stay with a very accommendating hostess in an Italian atmosphere. We enjoyed the peace and quiet in the country and yet we were close to everything in town and the Bay. We would definitely stay here again!

Great couple. Left my house very clean, and were respectful of my property, and house rules. They would definitely be welcome back anytime.
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.
