GBReview of Italian Villa near Siena The hosts were awesome! The location of the villa was a little weird, being in a commercial area, but once inside the gates you could have been in the countryside of Italy. But this was also good, as we were close to a gym, the supermarket, the train station, and all points beyond. The outer areas of the villa itself were beautifully landscaped with roses, fig trees, and pots of flowers everywhere. Our only complaint is that there was no shelving in the bathrooms or the shower, and as we stayed for three plus weeks, it became tiresome to have toiletries on the floor.

GBParker Villas was great! We used Parker Villas for our recent trip to Italy. Margie Nelson was fantastic! She provided excellent recommendations on tours and where to stay. The wine tasting and tour in Rada was the best! Even when Parker Villas had no villas for rent in the specific area my grandfather was from, she provided recommendations on hotels in the area. Based on her recommendations we stayed in a castle from the 12th century converted into a hotel. It was excellent! Best part of the trip!

GBTuscan 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.

GBTuscany retreat is absolutely perfect!!! This lovely spot in the Tuscan countryside was a rejuvenating experience. Our villa was a perfect home base for our travels. Ten minutes from the train station and a short drive to any of the hill towns of Chianti. Castellino is very near and completely charming. Our hosts were gracious, welcoming and always helpful. The property is beautiful and so peaceful. We would recommend Quercetto without any reservation.

GBWe had excellent service and a great villa. Arrangements for our trip began with a three night stay at the hotel Silla in Florence. The reservations were booked by Parker Villas. The hotel was in a great location and the room was wonderful. We then spent a week at a beautiful villa located in a vineyard and olive grove in Chianti. The location was beautiful. The villa was exactly as described. The owners gave us great service and were very friendly and helpful. Parker Villas also arranged for a rental car at a very reasonable price. We found Parker to be very professional and friendly. We would use them for future travel to Italy.
