Italian travel reviews - restaurants

We encourage our guests to go out and try the 20 restaurants nearby, and to write Italian restaurant reviews, many write Google reviews and trip advisor reviews but also providing us with feedback to enable us to make Italy travel review recommendations to future holiday makers. We now have a really infomative Italian restaurant review page that provides the visitor with a great overview of the Italian menus and type of restaurant on offer locally.

Italy tour reviews - sightseeing

Le Marche Travel and tourism is increasing as the word spreads about this stunning area and there are now a number of Italy tour companies working in this enchanting area. For over 5 years we have been reviewing Italy tours and writing Italy travel reviews encouraging our guests to do the same. These Italy tours reviews and Italy travel reviews have been used to create interesting and we hope compelling articles on sightseeing, itineraries based on Italy tours reviews from past guests, outlet shopping tours, winery & vineyard tours, walking & hiking tours, mountain tours, pilgrimages, cultural tours or beach holidays.

Italy trip advisor reviews

Our holiday Villa reviews are a great source of pride and also help us to promote our Italian holidays to future travellers. The holiday reviews of our Italian farmhouse & apartments can be found below or via the Italy trip advisor reviews page which also explains how tripadvisor works, how to write an Italy hotel review, how to research Italy tours reviews, the travel forums and the dangers of missing out on viewing "speciality lodgings reviews" which are increasingly becoming hidden as trip advisor promotes "vacation rental reviews" which are a paid service.

It has been an absolute joy to have met and got to know so many interesting people from all over the globe. This page is dedicated to the feedback that we've recieved from some of our guests.

Matt and Anne-Marie – East Dulwich, London, England

We have had a a really fantastic time at Villa San Raffaello- can't think of a better place to unwind and relax, especially sitting by the pool staring out at the ever-changing mountains and hills- It's been the perfect place for a honeymoon.

Kerstin, Lugemar, Lena and Ronny – Sweden

We enjoyed every minute of our stay at your Villa and Sarnano- We wish you luck in the future -you have a fantastic concept.

Molly Pawley – Kingston Upon Thames, London, England

This is one of the most magical places that I have ever been to. You've created a haven of peace and tranquility which restores the soul. I will have no hesitation in recommending San Raffaello to friends and family and know that they will have an equally wonderful time. Le Marche has so much to offer in the way of great scenery, excellent walking, interesting historic sites, brilliant shopping (particluarly the markets , not least the Antiques at Ascoli) and fabulous restaurants at great prices. Please can I come again!
