Beautiful place.

We had an extraordinary time at Cottage La Vita in Siena! The accommodations could not have been nicer. Our host family was lovely and warmly greeted us when we arrived. Fulvio and Patrizia brought us a bottle of olive oil they had just pressed from their fall harvest and it was delicious. Andrea gave us a personal tour through the cottages and explained how everything worked. He also gave us a recommendation to a wonderful local restaurant we liked so much, we had dinner there twice. We had everything we needed in our cottages and it was all in excellent working order. The view from the villa was spectacular and we spent every afternoon on the patio in the garden sipping wine. The sights in and around Siena were incredible, from the walled cities to the cathedrals to the fall colors of the Tuscan countryside, we were in constant awe. Our Parker Villas representative was professional and knowledgeable, and took excellent care of us every step of the way. From the very first time we called the company until they checked on us during our trip, Parker Villas made sure all our questions were answered, all our concerns were addressed and we were completely satisfied with our experience. We highly recommend Parker Villas and Cottage La Vita to anyone searching for an exceptional experience in Italia!

Our stay at Villa Tramonto was the highlight of our Italy vacation. The villa is a spacious and beautifully restored family villa. From the long winding drive up to the top of the hill with panoramic views to the comfortable and spacious living room, dining room, kitchen and bedrooms (all en suite with showers and tubs to accommodate all) we made the villa our base for a week. While it was quiet and secluded we were a short drive to nearby Sarteano, Cetona and Chiusi. The family offered many options which we took advantage of. Having a four course dinner cooked and served on our arrival day made for a very relaxing settling in. We also scheduled a pizza dinner the night before our departure, the pizzas were delicious and plentiful. A highlight was a short drive to Mamma’s house for a fabulous cooking class where we learned how to make hand rolled pasta, focaccia and tiramisu, oh my! Thank you for a wonderful stay at your lovely Tuscan home.

We spent a week at Villa Tramonto with four other couples. Can't say enough great things about this property. The villa is perfectly located. Only ten minutes to Sarteano, but far enough out that you have privacy to enjoy the beautiful Tuscan landscape. There were large outside tables and chairs set throughout the property that allowed us to have meals or cocktails with our friends as we took in the beautiful sunsets and sunrises over miles of beautiful Tuscan landscape. The family does an ncredible job maintaining the property with beautiful flowers and shrubs all around. The villa was very spacious, had on suite bathrooms for every room, a kitchen with updated appliances, a large living room with a wood burning fire and a pool table room for the guys to hang. However, the best selling feature of this villa is the owners. The family that owns the villa had a homemade cake waiting for us upon arrival. They were incredibly welcoming as they walked us through the house and mDe us feel as if we were part of their family. They made sure we had everything we needed. Additionally, we hired the family to cook two Italian meals for us. The food was incredible and it felt like we were sitting down to their family table. I have and will continue to recommend this villa to my family and friends. Thanks Villa Tramonto and Parker Villas for providing the perfect backdrop for a vacation that we will never forget.

Parker Villas was awesome. Kate was our contact and was ready and available to help us with everything from booking activities to a car rental. She explained everything and helped us think through logistics to make our trip amazing and smooth. We cannot say enough about Villa Tramonto. It was absolutely beautiful and cozy, and yet had modern appliances, making it the perfect place for our larger group. We could all gather or find quiet spaces to get away. There is a terrace that is the perfect place to watch the stunning sunsets, a fireplace that is incredibly cozy and the pool table was a huge hit. But honestly, the best thing about Villa Tramonto was the owner/management. They have lovingly restored this house that has been in their family for years. They will come to the villa to cook and serve dinner and they are incredibly responsive to any requests. At 8p one night the water pump stopped working. They were there within an hour and had it fixed within a couple of hours. Better service than we often get stateside!! Absolutely perfect place to stay and have a true Tuscany experience.

We spent a beautiful week sharing our 50th anniversary with life long friends also celebrating 50 years. The owner was very helpful with a wealth of information and helped us settle in comfortably to this extraordinary location. Views of Vesuvius, Naples and Capri greeted us every morning and the sunsets out did each other every night. Magical!!

excellent location, peaceful, serene....owner/landlord couldn't have been any nicer or accommodating....he was a large part of our satisfaction.....town of Santa Maria was quaint and ideally located between the Amalfi and Sorrentine coast.....5 Stars

The Capitano villa sleeps 6 and has a large fantastic patio with stunning views of Naples Bay, Naples about 15 miles across, and Mt. Vesuvius. The villa is high up on a hillside overlooking the wonderful small town of Massa Lubrense. Close to the villa is the smallest grocery store with cheeses to die for. Bring an extra suitcase to take back cheeses. The villa, linens and furniture are very clean, modern and comfortable. There are restaurants nearby that serve fantastic local dishes. The villa has all the requirements to cook in if desired. But the most important comfort of renting Capitano Villa is the owner-- who meets you and introduces you to the area while you enjoy local wine, mozzarella, tomatoes Italian bread and olive oil. If there are any problems or requests the owner will take care of it immediately. One member of our party said this is a most wonderful place and would be just as happy coming back to Capitano than going to any other place in Italy. We had no idea exactly what it would be like when we rented, it sounded nice but you never know till you get there. Capitano exceeded our expectations and made our Italian vacation-- in part from the villa itself and in part from the owner's welcome.
