This past September, I took my second vacation in Italy using Parker Villas. Two years ago, my family and I stayed near Cortona, in a lovely villa. This time, we stayed at Lago Maggiore for one week, and in Chiusi (Tuscany) for one week. Both places were ideally situated to their locations, and the owners were gracious and lovely to us. We happened to be in Chiusi during their week of Vin e Vino celebration, and we got to know so many townspeople during the week, that the party treated us like family in the town. Parker Villas know their properties, they know their owners, and they take great pride in the properties being just right. I got a call from the Italian Parker representative, during our stay, wanting to be sure that everything was fine. And it turned out that Margie from the MA office was a lifesaver, when our Hertz car started smoking in Sorrento on a Sunday. She was the one who arranged for a replacement car to come out of Naples. I can't thank Margie enough. I only wish Parker Villas had places in other countries, because I trust them with vacations that are very important. A lousy place for a week or two can ruin your stay. Parker doesn't have any lousy places, only beautiful ones.

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.

Agents are always knowledgeable and helpful and with a cheerful attitude. They describe properties with honesty. I wouldn't use any other vendor for booking villa's in Italy, have stayed in one myself and hope to again.

I have used Parker Villas twice so far and anticipate that I will use them again. Roberta, at Parker Villas is so knowledgable about the areas that I have booked. She has taken care of everything! The villa that we rented in Tuscany was absolutely beautiful, everyone loved it! We had another fantastic time. Our first trip with Parker Villas was to the Amalfi coast. That was a wonderful time also. I encountered a problem with being in an auto accident while there and Roberta and Parker Villas directed me. They were an excellent resourse to us. I have told everyone I talk to about Italy, about Parker Villas and encourage them to go to their website to view the properties. I am sure that they will want to call Parker Villas and plan a trip, too. Very easy!

12 of us traveled to Tuscany and rented the villa for a week. Our experience at the villa was excellent in every manner, service accommodations, food. Parker, especially Margie was wonderful in helping with all aspects of our time there, before and after. We had a great time and would recommend Parker to anyone traveling to Italy

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.

Arrangements for our trip began with a three night stay at the hotel Silla in Florence. The reservations were booked by Parker Villas. The hotel was in a great location and the room was wonderful. We then spent a week at a beautiful villa located in a vineyard and olive grove in Chianti. The location was beautiful. The villa was exactly as described. The owners gave us great service and were very friendly and helpful. Parker Villas also arranged for a rental car at a very reasonable price. We found Parker to be very professional and friendly. We would use them for future travel to Italy.

Whenever I rent in Italy, I use the Parker Company. The properties are always first class and you get what is advertised. I would highly recommend this company. Also, the personnel is always very friendly and well informed. Margie helped me this time and she was terrific.
