Rent Villas was very helpful in providing guidance in selecting a quality property for our family vacation, and also sharing many helpful tips before arriving at the property. There were so many choices in so many locations and all the properties looked wonderful! We were very pleased with the farmhouse that we chose in Italy, plus the graciousness of the owner/host, making a lifetime of memories . The company came highly recommended as one that was particular in selecting the properties they represented, and I would certainly pass that along to others after our experience. You can trust their offerings and the thorough assistance they provide their clients.

RentVillas.com is a very trusted agency. We have rented homes in Tuscany (see below), Provence, France and have a pending trip in Paris later on in 2015--all arranged through RentVilas. So here is our latest 2014 experience. If you want to see another side of Tuscany beyond Lucca and it's lovely surrounds, try the 90+ minute drive from Rome to Cortona, Italy. The old town itself is charming with butchers, flower and shoe shops, town square operatic singers, restaurants and a view to die for. The Casa Berrettini home is completely remodeled by the owner to give you a wonderful holiday experience. Sit at the kitchen refectory table and your window looks onto the entire valley floor. We never wanted to dine out with the fresh market vegetables and beautiful meats we found at the butcher shop downtown and with such a finely appointed kitchen, we cooked and ate in quite a bit. Located on a cobble paved lane that made for some good up and down hill walks (it's steep but very doable with good shoes) we watched people from the kitchen coming and going as they enjoyed the renovated homes that still carry original fronts and roofs which are more charm that one can really take in...nice quiet location on a corner with only one lane being used by cars but very few daily trips. Parking for our rental car was a short walk in the back entry to Cortona which was really gorgeous. That road that leads into the village is dotted with Italian Cypress, loads of olive orchards and old, still active churches you can explore--the country side is highly visible from the perched location of Cortona--it looks like a postcard!! The village has great hill as well as flat walking places--one such flat area was off the main terrace of the City and featured tree lined lighted, wide pathways where we could stroll and look out over the valley floor. The shop keepers and area residents are real and real friendly. You can also hop down to the local neighborhood Co-op below Cortona for some very good larger grocery shopping--amazing array of garden fresh vegetables and wow the butcher shop was huge as well as a tremendous array of baked goods. You can get a real time Italian neighborhhood experience--after all it is 2015--coupled with a view on how things used to be thanks to the well cared for old City and the interior renovations coupled with all the old photos that hang in most reastaurants and shops!! Casa Berrettini was a wonderful experience - you need to be comfortable with stairs as the house is on three levels with the heart of the the home--the kitchen--being on floor number two! We recommend it highly for a larger group as it has 3 full bedrooms--there were just two of us but it felt warm and cozy! Very nice laundry room and separate bath downstairs and super well appointed kitchen with a Bosch cooktop and oven made it super nice to cook--no dishwasher but it was not an inconvenience at all...after all you are on vacation and there is time to do the little things!!! The owner, Ivan, also has another home he rents--super nice gentlemen who checks you and an lets you enjoy the home on your own. Nice!!

We rented a wonderful cottage in Tuscany from rent villas... It was easy and everything went smoothly. The best part was the setting of the place... It suited us perfectly and we were so pleased... We would go back there again!

I have used RentVillas on a few occasions now and would HIGHLY recommend them. Every house and villa I have rented has been just as stated (and pictured) in the online brochures. Our group has always consisted of 8 to 10 people so the homes we've rented have been on the larger side. RentVillas is always able to get us the bedrooms and bathrooms we require; that's no easy task when each couple wants their own bathroom. I have NEVER been disappointed with RentVillas and would recommend them without hesitation.

For years I dreamed about renting a villa in Tuscany. I received catalogues every year from a company near me but when it came time to make my dreams come true…RentVillas was the company I went with because of their outstanding product, staff and website! Nicole was so knowledgeable and helpful and never pushy. She serviced us throughout the year and half of planning and assisted us with lots of small details. No matter where I travel in the future, I will always consider a villa with RentVillas.com.

I have used rentvillas.com for the last 7 years for our fall trip to Europe. There has never been a surprise. The property is always exactly as pictured. Rentvillas.com staff is excelelnt, in fact Barbara has been my travel consultant for the entire 7 years. The reviews are very helpful, like how far to town, closest airport, booking a chef etc. It is so nice to be able to pay in USD$. The selection of villas is fantastic, our group usually has between 10 and 16, we actually have a waiting list for those who hear about these great places we stay and for how budget friendly a villa vacation can be, On occasion I have contacted other rental sites but planning the trip was much more labor intensive, rentvillas.com takes the work and the surprise out of renting abroad.

Our villa, Brezza di Mare, was perched on the side of the mountain, offering breathtaking views of Positano and the Mediterranean from our terrace. It was everything that the information from RentVillas said it would be and more. All of our arrangements for booking the villa and transportation from Naples to Brezza di Mare could not have gone any better. Having no command of Italian at all, I appreciated being able to discuss our arrangements with someone on this side of the ocean. I highly recommend RentVillas to anyone planning a villa vacation.

RentVillas.com website is very easy to navigate with a very informative write-up on each Villa. Our 3 week trip to Tuscany turned out better than we expected. The Villa was centrally located so that we could walk to town, drive or take the train to a variety of other small towns. The key holder for the Villa was easy to reach by phone and very accommodating to whatever we needed. Can't wait to book another trip!
