YOUR PERSONAL VILLA RENTAL SPECIALIST
About us
We’re a family-run Italian villa specialist with over 50 years of experience. Having lived and worked in Italy for many years, we combine our insider knowledge, trusted network, and passion for Italian culture, cuisine, and lifestyle to curate a handpicked portfolio of the finest villas with private pools. Lucca, Tuscany is where it all began and remains at the heart of what we do, but our collection has expanded to include exceptional properties across Italy. Whether you’re seeking an authentic Sicilian farmhouse, a villa with sweeping sea views on the Amalfi Coast, or a tranquil hideaway by the Italian Lakes, we will help you find the perfect match. Our website offers a taste of what we provide, but it is by no means a complete showcase. Having personally visited most of the villas in our portfolio, we offer honest recommendations and first-hand insights. We encourage you to get in touch with your villa rental requirements. Tell us about the style of villa you’ve been dreaming of, your preferred dates, and the details that matter to you. With our local insight, trusted connections, and passion for Italy, we’ll handpick a villa that captures the magic you’re looking for
Our story so far...
Our story began in 1973 when Barry and Christine Pearson (pictured left in Florence 1970s) began renting luxury villas in Versilia, on Tuscany’s golden coast.
Today, we remain family run and managed. Our expertise has been built over a lifetime of living, working & holidaying in Italy which means we know Italy’s culture and customs intimately and well equipped to assist you with your villa rental needs.
We have visited the majority of the villas featured on our site, and for those we haven’t, they have been personally verified through glowing feedback from our customers and come from trusted partners we have worked with for many years.
