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.

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.

Perfetto We rented La Cantina in Tuscany from Parker Villas. The villa was beautiful and well-appointed. Signora Edda, the owner, was a wonderful hostess -- on sight, available and helpful in every way. We enjoyed her home cooked meals and cooking classes. The Villa is perfectly located as a staging ground for day tours of Tuscany and Umbria. You can get onto good roads quickly. And best of all: The views.... Sitting on the deck or the pool. Looking over the valley. Memorable.

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.

Parker 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!
