Absolutely perfect. Checks all the boxes. You feel like you have the place to yourself. Very clean and just a cool original place . Great kitchenette on the patio with plenty of fridge space. Location is great. We walked for coffee, breakfast, dinner and drinks everyday. Our host was very kind and gracious. We will not hesitate to book again.

This place was very clean! My wife is very picky and she was pleased as well. We didn't use the cooking facilities but as was noted elsewhere and in the description, the food prep and dining area is outside. In Florida, that's not a problem. Our biggest surprise were two cats that wandered the area around the pool. While we both like cats, I am very alergic and may have given second thought to staying there had known in advance. As I said though it was very clean inside. The cats did approach the outside eating area while we were there. When they found us uninterested, they moved on. A deal breaker? No. But certainly something to be aware of.

This was a beautiful place built by an authentic italian straight from Italy. I would sit on the terrace or in the hot tub and enjoy the view. He even left wine and snack in the room. Comfy large bed. Everything we needed for a great stay.

Our stay in a charming part of Maurizio's large, roomy villa was wonderful. We felt completely private, but had help close at hand. Maurizio is a gracious and generous host. The villa is an easy drive to good restaurants, downtown, and Siesta Key. As others have written, being in the villa combines a trip to Italy with the pleasures of Sarasota.

Maurizio, I really want to leave a four star review, however, there are just too many things that were not up to the standard you presented.. first of all it’s very obvious there are no hosts here taking care of the property… the yard was very unkept. The grass really needed cutting in the back. My husband had to get a broom to get sticks and a snake out of the pool, we could not find a strainer… the pool was very slimy… the hot tub was full of debris and sticks; I understand this will happen but when you have guests, you should have someone keeping those areas clean while your guests are here… When we arrived, we had 1/2 roll of toilet paper on the stand …. That’s kind of ridiculous and no bath soap, the bar that Maurice brought over was ridiculously old… I had to go purchase soap …the espresso coffee you left was outdated06/2023 and the pot, obviously needs replacing. It does not get expresso hot.I asked for a coffee maker, because I am not an espresso drinker, and the one Maurice brought over was disgusting!I went and purchased one, which I would like to be reimbursed for30… we had one large butcher knife, which was rusted and would not cut hardly anything… no other knives were provided. The batteries failed the one and only time we tried to use the TV remote so we texted Maurice and asked for more. he said he would be here within an hour. We finally gave up and went to bed. They were on the table the next morning. The ac obviously was controlled in the main house,

Fun private Villa feel, easy access to Sarasota!

Nice and private, quiet (aside from pool construction next door, but that's temporary). Pool to ourselves! Didn't know the "kitchenette" was outdoors on the lanai but as a Seattle visitor that was easy to navigate and work with in this type of weather. Great visit, great communication. Only suggestion would be a pool vacuum system (like in AZ) due to wind and evening weather debris. Nice comfy bed, and good shower / restroom setup, including a WC off the pool to the outdoors, for when you are wet! Well laid out, and would definitely come again! Thank you!

Beautiful private property!

I needed a solo vacation and this property was perfect. In a nice residential area, a sprawling Italian-style villa has a bedroom suite. It shares the huge veranda, backyard, and pool with the primary residence- but is also private. There’s a well equipped, small kitchen just outside the suite on the porch. Everything was there that I needed. The pool and gorgeous backyard was encouraged to use at my leisure and I took big advantage. Mauritzio is an incredibly gracious host- he helped with restaurant suggestions and knows so much about Sarasota. He was definitely a big reason why I enjoyed my time there. A truly lovely host. Looking forward to coming back.
