The home rental experience begins before the stay, and our interactions and numerous (I am the detailed trip planner) questions and communications with Marcelene were professional, quick, helpful and extremely accurate in planning our first time trip to Tuscany with 12 family members, all over 18. We knew this was going to be special, and it exceeded our expectations!
From the thoughtful check-in, to access to Tiziana (what a ray of sunshine each morning) to willing and able groundskeeper extraordinaire, Constantino, to the on-going contact with Marcelene, this hostess was determined to make our stay magnificent.
Oh, and did we mention the villa? Out of a storybook, and when our wine guides, locals in the area and master sommeliers, picked us up, they couldn't help but ask for a tour of the villa and back garden, claiming, "Now this is a true Tuscan villa".
Bravo, Marcelene, thank you for welcoming us in to your family home & history, and entrusting us with your masterpiece. We left Villa Fontarronco better than we arrived.
