Villa Florentine We spent 2 weeks in June, 2016 at Villa Florentine with our family, 25 in total. It was a wonderful time for all of us. The house was perfect, beautiful pool and lovely area. It was an idyllic vacation until our house was robbed one night while we were all sleeping. I think it is important for other people going to Tuscany to be aware that this is a possibility. We were taken by surprise and had difficulty dealing with the local police as they spoke limited English. The police did tell us that this is starting to happen in the area where Villa Florentine is located. We were fortunate that all we lost was money and we went on to enjoy our time in Italy. We just feel a responsibility to warn others that this is happening in Tuscany.

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.

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.

Outstanding service and accommodations. Our experience with Parker Villas was outstanding. Their knowledge of Italy and the rentals they had to offer made it easy for us to pick the perfect place for our family reunion. They spent time with each member of our family who called to ask advice about side trips and then made reservations for them in the hotels they recommended. I would not hesitate using them again.

Excellent product and strong service people The villa we rented was exactly what was advertised. The in-country people who met us, instructed us on the use of the property, and bid us a safe journey as we left the property, were strong English speakers and were helpful to us in enjoying the Vinci, Italy area. The countryside in which the villa was located was rich in opportunities for our fellow tourists. It was an excellent value to our entire group.
