Beds were very comfortable, AC in every room was terrific, large screen TV with streaming channels was also great. We found time for a day at the beach and enjoyed the provided beach towels, beach bag, chairs & umbrella.

Safety Harbor is one of our favorite towns and never disappoints, it is so friendly and The Villa allows easy walking to all places! The Villa was absolutely gorgeous and so clean! Care has been put in to the entire house from the decor, to the top quality bed linens. Luxury is in every corner of this beautiful home. The back patio is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a busy day. No expense has been spared to make guests feel at home and we loved the bottle of wine that was left for us by the host. We have stayed in many properties across the country, but this is by far the absolute best. We will be back again for sure!

It all begins with walking into a well appointed living space and being welcomed with a bottle of delicious red wine and a kind note from the owners! There is a welcome manual which we found to be very helpful, too. It gave an overview of the property and suggestions for local places to eat. The unit is located within walking distance to Main Street which has many fun shops and eateries. The owners have also made sure that guests have everything they need from nice, extra thick beach towels to a basket of items you may have forgotten to bring. Nothing has gone unnoticed! In addition, there are instructions with pics on how to operate all systems such as the TVs, Alexa, and the air units. The unit is decorated beautifully and is extremely clean! The Italian Villa is truly the best vrbo we have ever rented and we are already planning on returning In the near future. ##### Mark T.

As many Northeners, we were looking to escape the cold for a bit this winter. The Villa Italia by Christine on VRBO caught my husband's eye and we were enchanted with the pictures so we booked it. Well, the place is even lovelier in person. The hosts have thought of everything you would need. Nice fluffy towels, fresh scented sheets, comfortable beds, beach towel and chairs. They even had some basic toiletries in case you had forgotten to pack something. The house is tastefully decorated with items directly from Italy. Before leaving home I thought of bringing some kitchen gadgets that I always use but decided against it. I must say, everything I was thinking of bringing was already in this kitchen. There were even spices, sugar and coffee. Also a bin of emergency items!! That was such a plus. The home is a stone's throw to Main Street with fabulous restaurants and stores; a truly walking city. This was such a delightful find. The hosts were friendly, kind and helpful with suggestions for entertainment. It was our first time renting through VRBO and all I can say, the hosts have set the bar very high for our expections for other places. You will not be disappointed if you rent this villa. I will be telling everyone what a fantastic find Villas by Christine is. ##### warren M. Stayed 25 nights in Jan 2024 ---
