Guest Testimonials

While respecting the privacy of our clients, we would like to share with you some of their impressions during their stay at our exclusive villas:

“It was picture perfect. What a gorgeous setting. We enjoyed the sunset each evening on the outdoor living space/couches. The villa provided plenty of space for all to feel comfortable and have privacy when desired. We were immediately welcomed and made to feel at home. Villa Allegra provides a unique experience in a truly wonderful area. Tuscany is to be enjoyed in this manner, not in standard hotels. You truly feel a part of the rich culture.”
- J. L., guest of Villa Allegra in Tuscany.

“The location near Siena was the best and the vineyard to awaken to each morning was grand. It was our first experience and it was excellent. The owners were helpful – They even brought us wood for the fireplace and the cleaning service mid week was a nice touch. I would recommend La Sassasia to friends.”
- G.B., guest of Villa Allegra in Tuscany.

“Just wanted to tell you what a fantastic job you did on planning our tours in Italy.  Your choices of tour guides could not have been better.  All of them were extremely professional and knowledgeable in their field and made us feel very welcome in their country.  We could not have asked for more. I would also like to tell you that they all were very complimentary of Bravo. Our wine tour could not have been better and he was the consummate host.  I promised him we would be back to Italy and hopefully he can introduce us to his mom for a cooking class and teach me more about the olive industry as well.”
- C.T., guest of La Bianca in Tuscany.

“We're safely back from Sicily, where we had truly the most fabulous vacation. Thank you once again--you're a genius, we've decided. Both segments of the trip were fantastic: the villa was a dream; Taormina gorgeous; Etna brooding and magical; Mazara del Vallo simply beautiful. Kempinski elegant and wonderful. Thank you for everything, Saffo; you'll surely be hearing from us again as we think about next Summer.”

“We are back from two wonderful weeks at Vigneto. I must say… it was heavenly!!!!! Everyone was awestruck by the property and found it hard each day to leave to do sightseeing. At the end of each afternoon, we could not wait to return and sit by the pool, drink wine and watch the surrounding scenery. Simone was a wonderful hostess and we got her to take us on a tour of the Castillo Romitorio wine facility. Our driver to Montalcino was terrific. He hooked us up with Elena… a wonderful gal who gave us a 3-hour walking tour of Florence. Both were wonderful people and we enjoyed their company. Thanks for arranging it for us. Again… thanks for everything and I will be in touch with you if and when I ever plan a return to Italy.”

“You did a fantastic job for us and we had the best time. I wish you could have seen my children's' eyes when we arrived at Sirena C & M. Just seeing their eyes and faces that first day when they saw the villas and the view from them made the entire trip worth every penny. We kept pinching ourselves because it was just too wonderful. Both pickups in Naples went smoothly. The drivers were there to meet us upon our arrival. The people we worked with in Positano were so very accommodating and kind. It was very romantic and picturesque.”

“Villa Geggianello was utterly amazing, we had the most wonderful and memorable two weeks there with our family. The Villa and its surrounding areas were stunning, far more beautiful than any picture could portray, and the home itself had everything  one could possibly need to make the stay comfortable and relaxed. We were blessed with beautifully warm weather, and on the odd night when it was too chilly to sit outside and savor the breathtaking views, Roberto lit the fire for us in the living room and we enjoyed playing cards and drinking the local wines in front of a roaring fire!! The Villa was kept immaculately by Maria and her helpers, linens changed regularly and well cleaned each day.  The linens both on the beds and the table each night were gorgeous, a little touch that makes one feel very well looked after and special, we were always interested each evening to see which beautiful cloth Maria would set the table with, and of course all the furnishings, dishes etc., were superb, again making the whole experience very special indeed. About Maria’s cooking!!  Let’s put it this way, my Husband and all of my children are suffering serious withdrawal from Maria’s sumptuous meals!!  In fact, my husband Con begged her to come back home to Australia with us, I think he would have been more than happy to take her and leave me there!!  I am certainly very nervous about cooking for my family ever again, and have already looked into having a few Italian Cooking Lessons in the near future!  She cooked our dinner almost every night and also did a couple of lunches for us, where we invited friends over who were also visiting Tuscany. One lunch was for 17 people and she did such an amazing job, with the help of the beautiful Luciana, who came by every night to give Maria a helping hand. Maria was a true delight, and we miss her and her divine meals very much already. I would, without hesitation, recommend anyone to stay at Villa Geggianello.”

“We had a wonderful time in Italy, thanks in large part to the very nice accommodations at Impruneta. We also enjoyed our welcome dinner, the champagne and flowers for the honeymoon couple, and our tours. The villa certainly lived up to its presentation—and then some. The views were gorgeous and we enjoyed very much the privacy. The location was perfect for our Florence touring and our Tuscany tours. I would rate the home top notch. It was very comfortable. I liked best about the property its location and I can honestly say that there was nothing that we did not like about it. I would definitely recommend the villa to anyone. The housekeeper was very nice and accommodating with our requests. Thanks again for a wonderful experience. Next summer we plan another trip—this time to the south, and we will be looking at your properties again. Thanks.”
