New Review Submitted for Maria Olga located in Camaiore, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Saturday 3rd of April 2010.
Renter Rating: 4/5.
Review Details:
Camiore is a lovely town set in a valley - it is well located to make day trips to Pisa, Florence and the lovely Siena. Lido di Camiore is only a few kms away so the beach is very easily accessible also.

The villa itself is quite pretty and I would recommend it. However, it is good to keep in mind that the heating/gas charges have to be paid separately at the villa and the prices are extortionate. We had to pay a whopping 1.05 Euros per KW of power used. We went there in Easter and the villa was absolutely freezing (even though the temperatures outside were very pleasant) – it felt like the villa had been cold/unheated through most of the winter months. We had to turn up the heating significantly to get the villa into a habitable state and paid significantly for the “privilege”. This is quite different to my experience with villas in other locations, and quite underwhelming.

The booking service itself is easy to use – I could book the villa and get information very easily. The team was very responsive to any queries I had as well. A small gripe I have is that I was provided with a 24 hour number that I could contact while in Italy. On the first day there, we tried to call that number but there was no answer.

New Review Submitted for Podere Lucignano: Le Logge located in Gaiole In Chianti, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Saturday 27th of March 2010.
Renter Rating: 5/5.
Review Details:
Enjoyed stay at Villa. Premises were extremely clean. Weather was a bit chilly and the Tuscan winds were very strong. So strong that it shattered the glass entry door and, as renters, we were responsible for the damages. More warning should have been provided by owners. All we were told was to latch the door to the building when the door was open. We believe owners should have advised to keep door locked even when closed, perhaps door latch was faulty. We feel this incident marred what could have been a wonderful stay.

New Review Submitted for Poggetto Di Montese located in San Gimignano, Tuscany, Italy.

Rental Date: Thursday 25th of March 2010.
Renter Rating: 5/5.
Review Details:
My husband and I stayed in the Le Rondini unit for a week on our honeymoon last month. The property was absolutely lovely - there is a nice porch area with a table and chairs and chairs out on the lawn as well, all overlooking a beautiful view of the countryside and the towers of San Gimignano. The kitchen/bedroom portion of the unit was well equipped and had charming windows and high vaulted beam ceilings. The living room portion was nice too - it had a couch/tv and a wood-burning stove which was quite nice. The owner Marco was very friendly and happy to help with whatever we needed. It was a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend this villa to anyone traveling to this area.

Our stay in Corte Piccinotti was wonderful. The house is very nice, has got 3 floors, most of the furniture is antique, heating is sufficient enough, it's clean and generally is very comfortable. The most important thing is that the people are very friendly, graceful and kind.
