Homeinitaly.com reviews season 2021

Before planning your adventure in Italy and look into the impressive Italian luxury vacation villas in our portfolio, it can be interesting for you to read the last reviews written by travelers during the season 2021.
These listings are based on travelers’ reviews regarding world-class service, amenities, location, and décor of HII luxury Italian villas. Here there's something for every group size, in every best region of Italy, offering a great selection from luxury century-old villas in Tuscany, antique on the outside and with a modern design aesthetic on the inside, to Sicilian villas with a contemporary design.
Staying in a luxury villa truly offers the best of all worlds. It is a chance to relax and reconnect with family and friends in your own private space. Many of you travel to Italy to celebrate a special occasion while enjoying all the benefits of a first-class hotel, unobtrusively provided by experienced housekeepers, cooks, and butlers. Arguably, the main attraction in Tuscany and in Umbria is their legendary culinary offerings. In the towns and villages scattered throughout the area, quaint cafes are as common as Michelin-starred fine-dining establishments.
Italy’s prolific culinary heritage also means there are numerous private chefs; our guests love to have them come right to their villas for hands-on cooking lessons and to craft authentic Italian feasts.

FEDORA | Umbria | Hepburn C. | Singapore
 This was a 6- star luxury experience. The pictures do not do justice to how amazing this property is. We would go back in a heartbeat.
 Home in Italy were always on has to assist for all manner of requests as well.
 The villa itself was one of the most beautiful ones we have stayed in – the views were breathtaking. It was set up with state of the art equipment, a very contemporary design, two fabulous huge kitchens, a games room that worked for all ages, and so much space that we could easily have had twice the number of people at the villa. Assisi itself is a charming and picturesque place to visit. The villa’s location within walking distance to the old town was extremely convenient while offering acres of space and an unobstructed view of the whole valley. Most importantly the villa owner was simply the best! He took care to ensure that we had everything we needed, introduced us to the local produce showcased the best of Umbria! We have stayed in many villas over the years but the warmth and hospitality we received here was unprecedented.
 We stayed for two glorious weeks in Villa Fedora. Right from the start we received prompt ad excellent service, from booking to guiding us with directions.

PEGASO | Tuscan Coast | Stephanie M. | USA
“I just want to say that we are SO thankful to you and your entire team for making this the trip of a lifetime. The home, the service, the staff were above and beyond our expectations. Our families were so happy we wouldn't have changed a thing. You have a wonderful team and know we are looking forward to planning our next stay with you. Villa Pegaso is absolutely breathtaking. The view, the amenities, the furnishings, and attention to detail. We came in with high expectations but Pegaso blew us away more than we could have imagined. I could not recommend Pegaso enough. We will be using Home in Italy services for years to come! Always on hand to answer any question. Their response rate was so fast and so helpful. Their assistance was exceptional, Serena was always on hand to answer any question we had, helped organize everything from cooking and grocery orders to rental car pick-ups and massages so we didn't have to worry about anything once we arrived.
The chef brought in for our cooking class is featured on The Food Network in Italy! That just gives you insight on the people Homes in Italy has in their sphere.”

MEDUSA | Tuscan Coast | Anna I. | Iceland
“Excellent service every step of the way. The uncertainty due to Covid resulted in countless questions to the Home in Italy staff. We always received prompt, thoughtful and accurate responses that were immensely helpful and made our trip much less stressful and therefore much more enjoyable than it otherwise would have been.
Impeccable service during our stay: Home in Italy responded quickly to all our questions and helped us secure all the services we requested from their trusted partners, sometimes on very short notice. We required a fair bit of car services which Home in Italy assisted with and everything went as smoothly as possible.
Thank you so much for all the help along the way. We were not sure whether we should be travelling at all with all the uncertainty but you relieved our stress and took care of everything so the vacation turned out to be everything we had hoped for, and more.”

Staff in the villa was very good and cleanliness was excellent. Thank you for a wonderful experience. The drivers you set us up with were amazing and they made our trip so special, highly recommend them!!!! 5 stars. We are now home in Tampa, Florida and I must say a bit sad; we didn’t want to leave.

DON ANDREA | Puglia | Michael H. | USA
" Don Andrea is a remarkable villa, which we three couples very much enjoyed. I highly recommend it. Bedrooms were large and identical in size, each with ensuite baths and sitting areas. The dining room was large enough to accommodate a dozen diners. The outside areas, including the pool, were spacious and comfortable. The villa is ideally located for exploring the Valle d'Itria, and Ceglie Messapica was only a 10 minute drive with many fine restaurants for dinner. The staff for the villa were friendly, responsive and helpful, and the young chef and his wife were delightful. Both cooking class and dinner were fun and delicious. Home in Italy was a pleasure to work with, friendly, professional and helpful. Serena, our concierge, was great to work with and arranged not only for the cooking class and villa dinner, but also answered my many questions and made and confirmed many restaurant reservations for us. I very much valued her help.
 I would definitely use Home in Italy for future rentals in Italy. They have excellent properties and an efficient, professional process."

VILLA EDERA |Lake Como | Fredrik and Cathrine R.L.| Denmark
“We were a family of eighteen people; two grandparents, three set of parents & ten children between three & sixteen years old. We had the time of our lives. The Villa Edera is a lovely, big & cosy house, well build, well designed & very well kept. We had all our meals but two lunches in the house, either in the beautiful big dining room or outside at the veranda, weather permitting. The meals was deliciously prepared by Cesare the cook & the menu ordered every day before it was to be served, & as everyone in the party fancied Italian food, it was what we got. Everybody enjoyed the entertainment facilities of the house, the table tennis, the billiard, the tennis lawn, the beautiful & luxurious pool-area, & the space of the wonderful garden. One day we had app. 100 mm. rain, it proved no problem because of the size of the house, there was always a room or an outside covered corner wheron could relax. Two days were reserved for sightseeing sailing on the Lake Como with lunch breaks in Varenna & Lenno, which we are happy to recommend. The Villa Edera was fully staffed with very efficient & friendly house cleaners & gardeners, our bedrooms & bathrooms were wonderfully made up every morning. Everything was perfectly supervised by the very kind & helpful key holder Daniela, who was both the first & last person we saw at the villa, always ready with information, advice, bookings, transport, foraging of the wine cellar etc. Villa Edera (former Villa Camilla) we can give our very best recommendation!”
We can add that we have been most happy with our cooperation with Home in Italy in general & especially with Lucrezia & you. From the very beginning a year ago it has been a pleasure to correspond with you both & everything that you have arranged for us have been turning out very satisfactorily!"
