To be honest we hesitated before renting because we were able to find less expensive options but in the end we had full confidence in Papavero, and couldnt find anything to match what our rental offered us. Boy did we make the right decision. Every part of the interaction exceeded our expectations, and every aspect of our rental was a delight. I will not hesitate to recommend, no, STRONGLY recommend, Papavero to friends. We very much look forward to our next stay!

Dear Ginny,
Many thanks to you and Patrice for your help in arranging our Villa. In spite of the fact that we arrived 8 hours later than planned on Monday, and our luggage did not arrive until Thursday afternoon, the trip was a HUGE success. We traveled to Siena, Verireggio, Barga, Firenza and Pisa.
The Villa was fantastic; beautiful, secluded, very clean and accomodating, exceeded only by Signora Daniela and her husband's hospitality. They were so helpful and kind to us. Your suggestion that they would be worth the change to La Boheme was an understatement - they were one of the very best things we found in Italy.
Thanks again. We can't wait to return!
B.R., New York City, NY( USA)
I am just writing to say Thank You! No questions this time, just a heartfelt Thank You for the wonderful packet of information that I received today from you. You have gone the extra mile and we are quite impressed! I have already sent copies on to the rest of our group, and we are so excited about our upcoming trip to Tuscany. Thank you so much for all of your help, you have been so thorough! You know, you could sell all of the great information that you sent us, or better yet, write a book! Grazie! Grazie!

I have always wanted to go to Italy but was hesitant becasue I didn't speak Italian. We did not want to go on a tour but really wanted to experience Rome. This was perfect! Everything was just as described - the apartment was adorable, the area was great for us 'first timers' and the transfers went off without a hitch. Can't wait to do it again. My husband and I have signed up for an Italian language class in preparaton for our next trip! Thank You!

Virginia -- hard to believe it's just a week ago I called you about getting a driver for Rachel and here I am, already having heard from my daughter that she is safely in her apartment in Colorno. She called about two hours ago to tell me she was safe and sound. Music to a mother's ears. Just wanted to say thanks very much for helping us out at the last minute by finding a driver. Rachel said the driver was waiting for her and he was very nice. She was very thankful not to have to struggle with all of her bags through the bus, train and cab scenario.
Once again, thanks very much, Virginia -- Susan

Fred and I wanted to thank you for help making our trip to Italy the best ever.
We're still savoring our experiences. The quality of all the places we stayed was
excellent, and the logistics went as smooth as could be expected.
Hoping to stay in touch, and connect with you for our next trip to Italy.
Mary S., Seattle WA (USA)
I have used other rental companies both for the area around Tuscany and Umbria as well as Rome and I always approach a new company with trepidation, you just never know what you will get until you arrive at the place. We were not disappointed! I would highly recommend Papavero Villa Rentals.
Tim and Lesa, Jacksonville, FL USA
We were delighted with the services of Patrice and Virginia. Do not hesitate to call on Papavero Villa Rentals for all your travel needs in Italy. They deliver! Everything, within their control, was exactly as represented. All transfers and guides were on time and extremely courteous and professional. We could not have been in better hands.
The tours set up by Virginia were delightful, their drivers excellent as well. Thanks to Virginia for choosing this tour guide and nailing down all the details for us while we were traveling in France.We really appreciated the email updates on our guided excursions!
Hope all is well with the two of you. Many thanks for all that you both did, to insure that our trip was a pleasant one.
Rest assured that if our future travel plans include Italy, we will look forward to working with you again.
Lynda B, Germantown, PA USA
This was my first time to rent through Papavero Rentals. I will rent again. I was pleased with the entire process.
The apartment was fabulous. I highly recommend Papavero Villa Rentals because the staff was well informed and very helpful. The apt was exactly as described. The key holder met us at the apt exactly as scheduled. Staying in a private apt made us feel more like locals and less like tourists.
THANK YOU ! Our trip was excellent.
Barbara and Frank S., Columbia, MD USA
Good Morning Patrice,
First of all let me express our sincere condolences at the loss of your mother. Fredericka mentioned it when we arrived at the villa. I am including a huge hug from her & one from us.
Thank you so much for all of your help in finding us an absolutely wonderful villa in an incredible area. All of us loved every moment of our stay. I didn't want to leave & when we got home I went to your site & relived the rooms. Our afternoons on the pool house patio sipping wine & dunking bread in olive oil, oregano & parmesan were pure delight. The lizards, the pheasant & fruit bearing tress will be engraved in my memory. Everyone we met was friendly & helpful. My only complaint is that I couldn't speak Italian because I know it would have enhanced my understanding & appreciation of Italy even more.
I have recommended Papavero to my ex-sister-in-law who may be looking for a place with a group of her friends.
Take care & hopefully we will need you again!
Sincerely, Barbara and Frank

Virginia, thank you so much! I simply searched the net, came across your web pages and there was a vacation of our dreams.
I am originally from the Czech Republic but live in Canada with my husband and our 8 months old son. We teamed up with my parents and decided to rent IL Pittore from you.
This was just about the best vacation ever. The villa is out of this world! We did not even want to leave the place and explore around that is how beautiful the property and the house was. The pool was a bonus, our little one loved it.
The owner was very good to us. We were given a key from his wine cellar and were allowed to harvest his freshly grown basil, tomatoes, lettuce and all kinds of other vegetables as often as we liked.
I do not get to see my parents very often and family vacations do not get better than that.
David and Bobbi D. , Bethlehem, PA USA
Your recommendation for TS26 Tramonte was excellent, so I'd say you read us well as customers! Your directions were perfect, even how to get out of the Rome airport, while a bit hectic for us since we could not always translate or orient to the Italian signes, nevertheless, we got to the villa with little problems.
E. D. , Pinellas Park, FL
We loved renting a house instead of staying in a hotel! The info packet that was provided by Papavero Villa Rentals was very helpful in learning to 'live like an Italian'. We also enjoyed the wealth of information about the area and it provided us with lots of useful information about getting around, what to visit and even where to park our cars! Papavero Villa Rentals gets a 5 in our book!

Buon giorno,
We're home safe & sound as of last night. Had a fantastic trip. I wanted to tell you that Dimora was like a dream come true.....it was truly perfect in every way. Thank you, thank you........and thanks too for all your very professional help and for making the whole thing go so smoothly.
I'll happily recommend you to all my friends and to several travel agents I know.
A.H. , Los Angeles, CA USA
Dear Patrice and Ginny,
Thank you for the most glorious vacation. It couldn't have been better. You made my dream vacation perfect and you both went out of your way to make it all happen.
We will definitely recommend you to our friends and we hope to take another trip in two more years. You are the best!
Julie, Maryland, USA
We have rented three properteis in the past four years from Papaver and each one has been magnificent. The staff has always been helpful and able to meet all of our needs. We will continue to use Papavero Villa Rentals whenever we travel to Italy which we hopefully will be doing again soon.
Julie G., St. Louis, MO USA
Thank you for everything,
You and Virginia have been wonderful. Every time I talk to you I get more excited about the trip, if that is even possible.
Jane W., Cheshire, UK
I cannot thank you enough for all of your help. May I also take this opportunity to say how impressed I have been with the service I have received from all of you at Papavero Villa Rentals. I will certainly be recommending Papavero to any friends planning to vist Italy.
With my very best wishes to all of you.
Roger P., Hudson, WI USA
Dear Patrice and Ginny,
We all had a great time. Thanks again for all your service and follow up. I enjoyed working with both of you. Everyone wants to go back in the future. I am sure you will be able to help find us another villa. Best wishes for a successful year. Keep in touch, you never know when the ten of us will want to get out of town again!
Kelly M., Canada
Dear Virginia,
We did have a wonderful trip! It was truly excellent, and exactly as I'd imagined it. A huge thank you to yourself and Patrice for all of your help. You made planning this trip hassle- and worry-free. I would recommend Papavero Villa Rentals to anyone. I found staff to be extremely helpful, informative, efficient and friendly, which made logistical details easy and allowed me to book with confidence and a peaceful mind.
Ann H. , Santa Barbara, CA
Thank you again for all your help. For YEARS, I had wanted to be able to take my family to Italy. You have been so helpful and wonderful to work wtih. I would highly recommend you to everyone. Thank you for helping me realize my dream.
Lisa and Joey G., Allentown, PA
Just wanted to say thank you so much for everything you did for us. We had a wonderful time in Italy. Our villa was absolutely beautiful, we didn't want to leave, even after three weeks! In fact, we could have spent a couple of more weeks there. We have told a lot of people about you and that you are simply THE BEST!
D and L E, Los Angeles, CA, USA
My husband and I wanted to rent a villa in Italy with our family and friends to celebrate our 50th birthdays! We looked on line and from
friends found numerous websites renting villas. Then my Husband found Papavero Villa Rentals! SO lucky. They were the most friendly. The most knowledgeable about Italy and the most affordable!
We started out thinking we would need a small villa but our numbers grew to 29 people! The staff helped us through the process of picking the right villa. When we got to the villa I cried - it was beyond what I had ever
imagined! The pictures on line, while they showed a very nice villa did not
show all the charm and beauty it entailed!
Not only did they rent us villas, they took so much time with us to schedule events for all these people. Our tours were specialized for us and could not have been more perfect. Friends that have been before were in amazement of
the quality. The chef we had for our cooking lesson at the villa was the most wonderfully educated fun person to have around. They also found us an Italian band for our birthday party - the catering they picked for us was 5 star quality (really - everyone is still talking about the food!)
I can't wait to go to Italy again and have Papavero help plan it! They went
the distance in every way.
L. P., Boston, MA, USA
Patrice,
Just wanted to let you know that Alcida had an absolutely wonderful time! She said the apartment was perfect! Lou said thank you very much, again, for all your help in making this possible for his sister! Keep in touch and we will be sure to recommend you to anyone traveling to Italy!!
Best of luck with all your ventures!!
E. S., Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Hi. Well, we did get your package today. Hurray! If you are not the very best, you have us fooled.
We are really excited and in large part feeling so comfortable with all of your documents, efforts, advice, etc.
We would like to line up a tour of Rome for Monday, June 7. Most likely not too early and I am not quite certain yet what we want to see. Probably those attractions you feel are beyond walking distance
More later. Thanks again for EVERYTHING!
L.A., Los Angeles, CA, USA
It was the best month of my life. Thanks to you. I want to go back, just like you said I would.

Patrice and Virginia:
We returned on Friday from a wonderful 2-week vacation in Italy and I wanted to thank you and the staff of Papavero Villa Rentals for handling our delightful accommodations at Immaculata in Rome. This beautiful and well-appointed apartment was perfect for us; the location could not have possibly been better; and Mara was a delightful and accommodating host. She left helpful information for us which came in handy as we scouted restaurants and markets in the area. We were thrilled will this lovely apartment and would highly recommend it!
Thank you again for an exceptional vacation experience. Paravero Villa Rentals was a delight to deal with from start to finish!
J. M., Rockville, MD, USA
I have used Papavero to plan a family vacation to the Amalfi coast and I was so impressed with their personalized service and the quality of their villa that I have booked a vacation to a Tuscan villa for May.
I have found Patrice and Virginia to be extremely knowledgeable not only about the villas that they present but also about Italy as a whole. They will recommend restaurants, places to see, book your car, even send you a map outlined with the route to your villa. Any questions or concerns which I had prior to my trip were answered by Papavero immediately, completely and professionally and I will continue to use them whenever I travel to Italy.
A. M. , Everett, WA, USA
Thank you so much for all of your help arranging our honeymoon in Rome. It was wonderful and we will definitely use you again, it is just so nice to have an apartment and not a tiny hotel room it really made us feel more at home. Thank you so much!
N. S., Chester Springs, PA, USA
Dear Virginia,
Thank you for a wonderful trip to Italy. You answered everyone of my many many questions and you were an invaluable help with the overall itinerary. Thanks so much!
A. C., Belrose, Australia
The service was efficient and communication good! We were a little tongue in cheek about paying all of our money upfront when booking on the internet, but Patrice was very helpful and soothed our fears. The villa was beautiful! We enjoyed the outdoors and the view.
D. E., Cumberland Park, South Australia
We absolutely loved Cortona and the apartment. We were absolutely amazed with our whole Tuscan experience and will never forget it. Thank you for all of your help!

Papavero Villa Rentals was well organized and very helpful in choosing a home. The farmhouse was lovely! Stunning location and very nice home. We loved our stay in Tuscany. Thank you!
R. G., Medway, MA, USA
We looked at many websites before finding Papavero Villa Rentals, they have the widest selection and are very accurate in their description of the property. Also, they were very informative as to the surrounding towns, restaurants,etc. They did an outstanding job! BRAVO!!
S. B., Bryson City, NC, USA
I would absolutely recommend Papavero Villa Rentals to anyone considering a trip to Italy. Our villa was well represented on the website and the Papavero staff was extremely helpful as was the owner of the villa, who were warm, charming and couldn't have been more helpful and accomodating.
B.N., New York, NY, USA
Thank you for all your help in planning the perfect trip to Tuscany!

Papavero Villa Rentals is a great organization to deal with. Expect a business-like approach with a "personal touch."
P. R., New York, NY, USA
Dear Patrice,
Thank you for all your help in planning our trip to Italy. You were very helpful while choosing our villa, and continuted to assist us with every need through the entire process. I feel as if I know you... and hope some day I will!
I know I can speak for John & Ann and Bill & Fran as well as my husband George when I say, we truly had a wonderful Tuscany experience and we all thank you very much for providing us with a wonderful villa selection.
S.Z., Randolph, NJ, USA
Thank you so much for assisting with the reservations and the selection. I would rent here again in a heartbeat and certainly recommend your company to help with anyone heading to Italy.
I am certain to seek you out again when next we visit ... have been thinking of perhaps a future rental near Capri or the Cinque Terra
