We loved everything about it. We loved the entire experience, the facility was totally updated but with old world charm. Plenty of room, AC, hot water and places to sit and enjoy. The view was great and location perfect for visiting surrounding towns, Florence, Sienna, even Venice and Rome. Having the catered Italian meal was fantastic. Only problem was Internet was difficult to use but did function.

50th anniversary Castello D'Albola Villa Marangole aka villa Falco Nero: A wonderful experience. The villa was tastefully old yet immaculate, completely private,and was situated in a beautiful countryside and was surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. Pool/sunning area a nice accessory. Conveniently close to Radda in Chianti for shopping/dining. Was also centrally located for easy visiting of Florence, Siena, etc.,etc. Housekeeping (Angela) flawless. Requested meals prepared for us on-site all gourmet and fun. Wine pairings with sommelier in attendance added to enjoyment. Castello D'Albola staff gracious. Our family loved all! Many happy memories to share.

Steered Us Into The Right Villa We booked a villa with slight reservations about location. Our Parker rep spent some time on the phone with us and sensed we were not 100% certain about our choice. She recommended a switch and the Villia in which we stayed was beyond our imagination. Just perfect. We rented our car through Parker with no issues as well. Could not have been a better experience.

Tuscan perfection Our large family group spent a perfect week at Villa Florentine in July '14. We hope to go back another year because we all loved everything. The location is central for exploring towns in Tuscany and Chianti, there's a wonderful grocery store and restaurant within 4 miles of the house, plus an infinity pool to cool off in the late afternoon. Inside the house all bedrooms and baths are spacious and no detail has been overlooked. The classic Italian kitchen is made for cooking and the dining room is spectacular. But we spent most time gathering outside and soaking up the views, drinking wine and appreciating a slice of Tuscan living.

Italy Florence to Tuscany Roberta was so helpful and all her suggestions were excellent. Five women traveling is no easy feat to please! Everything went according to plan, hotels, car rental and the Villa La Cantina in Chiancci Cortona was amazing. Our host Edda was a gem! I highly recommend Parker Villas for your next Italian adventure!
