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.

Very nice place to stay, however, the refridgerator, cook top, sink and eating area were located outside on the lani. That would have been okay if the weather wasn’t in the 40’s.

My wife and I very much enjoy staying here it was very convenient too many places. Wish I could have used the pool but the weather was a little cool when we were here
My hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Comfortable, quiet, and serene. Our hosts were so nice and helpful, recommended an excellent restaurant and treated my husband to an expertly made delicious espresso Sunday morning - made his day 😄
