Downtown,Italian Villa For Two,Resort Style.5 minutes to Siesta-Lido.

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.

Mauricio is the most fantastic, genuine host! We thoroughly enjoy his place. It has exactly what we need for a short stay. The room is lovely and the backyard garden/pool is wonderful! Great touches for a stay we love!!

Host was very welcoming! Staying here is a unique experience and we will be back! Lovely grounds, convenient to sites in and around Sarasota, comfortable room.

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.

What an enjoyable stay! The atmosphere and the beauty of the whole place is stunning. The Italian architecture is stunning and so enjoyable to take in. Maurizio Was a gracious host and I really enjoyed chatting with him. Highly recommend!

Overall wonderful experience, Thankyou so much for having us. Will definitely be coming back when I’m in Sarasota again.

Absolutely Amazing Experience with An Amazing Host. We came for 2 days with big plans, but this place was so nice and relaxing my wife slept almost the whole time and I had no problem sitting in this little piece of paradise waiting for her to wake up. She rarely did lol butt we will be back soon to check out the beaches! Thank you for a great stay!!

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,

The property is beautiful, quiet, and Maurizio was accommodating and extremely easy to communicate with. We will absolutely stay here again the next time we come to the area.

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!

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.

It was wonderful to be able to relax in a home, with a beautiful backyard. We enjoy time on the private patio, pool and hot tub.
