Italy Villa Holidays have now been renting villas in Italy<\/a> for over fifteen years. As you can imagine, we’ve been asked a whole heap of questions about our Italy villa rentals in that time. We thought it might be helpful to share the answers to the most commonly asked questions. It’s a pretty eclectic list of Q&As but hopefully may answer some of the queries you may have too!<\/p>\r\n

How far in advance should I book?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

If you’re looking to travel in the peak Summer months of July or August, we recommend booking 6 to 12 months in advance if you can. If you’re planning a celebration or wedding in Italy, we’d recommend starting your search even sooner, ideally 18 to 24 months in advance. This will ensure you have the best selection of villas to choose from. But, if you’re not that organised, you will always find last minute villas available. Just be prepared to be a little more flexible when booking at short notice.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What will the weather be like during our Italy villa<\/a> holiday?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is the million dollar question and something that seems to be particularly asked by our UK clients. We chalk it down to the British obsession with the weather! If only we could predict when the sun will be shining during your trip! As you would expect, July and August are certainly the hottest months with the Winter months cooler and more rainy. However, the weather can change massively from north to south. Even within the same region, you can find little micro climates. What we can assure you of is that, even if you find yourself faced with a rainy day, there is still plenty to keep you entertained! With all our villa rentals in Italy, we’ll provide you with lots of days out ideas, both indoors and out to keep you busy whatever the weather!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Can we drink the tap water at our Italian villa?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the vast majority of cases, the tap water is safe to drink in our Italy villas. If it’s not, we’ll make sure that we let you know.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Are utilities included in the price?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Some of our villas charge additional fees for utility costs. If so, this will be clearly stated in the villa description. Energy costs are extraordinarily high in Italy. If you’re staying at a villa in Italy between October and April, it’s likely that you’re going to need the central heating on, whilst during the Summer months you will often have the option of using the air conditioning. The fairest way to cover costs for this is to charge guests based on usage. This will reward you for being careful with your energy usage, not wasting air conditioning by leaving windows open for example.<\/p>\r\n

Please note that many homes in Italy have a 3 KW supply. This is perfectly adequate for normal use but it does mean that the system can become overloaded if too many electrical items are used at once. If this happens, then the electrics will automatically cut out and you’ll just need to re-set it.<\/p>\r\n

Do villas in Italy have central heating?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Most of our villas have central heating. However, please note that there are strict laws in place in Italy for when energy can be used for heating purposes. Regions will have a date in place, before which it’s illegal to turn on the heating. Don’t worry – we will ensure that you are warm and toasty during a stay with us in the cooler months.<\/p>\r\n

Are the swimming pools heated?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Italy Villa Holidays does have a number of villas with heated pools. It is usually an additional fee if you wish to use the pool heating. Most pools are unheated and are typically open between May and September each year.<\/p>\r\n

What extra fees should I expect?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

We aim to keep added fees to a minimum. However, check the villa description for any potential extra costs. These may include final cleaning fees, local tourist taxes (usually payable locally on arrival), refundable security deposits and any optional services you choose such as a private chef, additional housekeeping or pool heating.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It is necessary to have air conditioning in our Italy villa?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The vast majority of our Italy villa rentals do have air conditioning but not all of them. It’s important to remember that many of these villas were built hundreds of years ago from materials that will naturally stay cool in the Summer and retain the heat in the winter. Building techniques were designed around the climate so in hotter, more humid regions, you may find that the windows are small to keep out the sun and many have the addition of shutters to serve the same purpose. That said, temperatures have risen in the last decade – so let us know if A\/C is a prerequisite for your stay. Top tip – if your property is equipped with shutters, keep both the windows and shutters firmly closed during the day which will keep your Italian holiday rental nice and cool at night. Of course, we can always provide fans if you need them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Are linen and towels included at our villa in Italy?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Linen and towels are included in all our villas in Italy. In some of our villas in Italy, these may be changed every 3-4 days or weekly. If not automatically changed, it’s always a service we can provide for a small additional charge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Will the owner be on site at our Italian villa rental?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With a small number of our villa rentals in Italy, the owners live on site. This can make some clients nervous but it definitely shouldn’t. If anything, we’d argue having the owners on hand is a plus point. As well as vetting all the Italian villas we have within our portfolio, we also vet the owners! Our owners will be welcoming and helpful but respectful of your privacy at all times. Where the owners don’t live on site, we will always have a local property manager on hand should guests need anything during their stay. The property manager normally lives a maximum of a 30 minute drive away.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Are your Italy villa rentals child friendly?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This will depend on the villa in question. However, when the property is not suitable for children, we’ll make sure that this is clearly pointed out. As a country, Italy is extremely child friendly. Italians love children! However, some of the villas in Italy can be hundreds of years old. So even if the property welcomes children, parents will always need to be mindful and supervise youngsters at all times. Stairs may be uneven and worn with age, and gardens may be terraced or steep. Whilst some of our Italian villas with pools are fenced or gated, parents still need to accompany their children at all times.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Are your villas suitable for wheelchair users?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

We have a collection of wheelchair accessible villas<\/a> but admit, we would love to have more. If you have specific access requirements, please contact us before booking so we can ensure the property is suitable for your needs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What are the check in and check out days for your Italy villas?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In peak season, many of our Italy rental stays run from Saturday to Saturday. However, this is not the case for all our Italian villa rentals. And where we can we aim to offer flexible check-ins and shorter stays. Recognising that flights don’t always allow for Saturday arrival, and can be much cheaper mid week, we will try to offer as much flexibility as we possibly can.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Do you accept large groups at your villas in Italy?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Yes, of course. We have villas in Italy to suit all group sizes, from small homes for two to large estates for up to sixty or more.<\/p>\r\n

What is the payment and deposit schedule?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

We require a 30% deposit on booking, with the remaining balance payable 9 weeks before arrival.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What is your cancellation policy?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You can view our full set of terms and conditions<\/a> on our site. In theory, once a deposit is paid, it is non refundable. Similarly, when the balance is paid it is, in theory, non refundable. In reality, we will always try to be more flexible than this, dependent on the circumstances. However, we always advise clients to take out travel insurance whenever booking a holiday to ensure that they have cover in the event of any unexpected circumstances.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Will the kitchen be well equipped in our Italy villa rental?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The equipment in a kitchen will vary by property. Usually, the more luxurious the property, the more well equipped the kitchen will be. Some of our larger villas also have professional kitchens, ideally suited for those looking to hire the services of a chef during their stay. A small handful of our very smallest apartment rentals in Italy may only have a hob and not an oven so if an oven is essential, make sure to let us know. For our American clients who are used to having the luxury of huge fridges and freezers, just be aware that you may find the appliances smaller in Italy. Most Italians still buy fresh food on a daily basis and so don’t have need for large freezers. There is nothing better than the taste of fresh fruit and vegetables purchased from an Italian market, so we would definitely encourage you to do the same.<\/p>\r\n

Is a rental car necessary?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Countryside properties in regions like Tuscany, Umbria or Puglia almost always require guests to have a rental car to reach nearby towns and villages. Villas within walking distance of a village are harder, but not impossible, to find.<\/p>\r\n

Are pets allowed?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

We have a portfolio of pet-friendly villas and apartments.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Can you provide cots and highchairs?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Yes, with 99% of our villas, we can provide a cot and highchair. Occasionally, there may be a small additional cost for this.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
