She was our main contact and she worked with all of the vendors to make sure our desires were well-translated to them. And, on Wedding Day, WOW. I can't think of one thing that disappointed! We particularly loved the flowers! Everything was magical...every guest said so! Francesca was so easy (and fun!) to work with; I don't know what we'd have done without her. Thanks for making Teal & Francesco's day so wonderful!

Every bride thinks that they can manage to plan their wedding on their own, but when you have…read morepeople like the fine folks at Tuscandream, you realize how much more streamlined everything can be with true professionals. I got married in late November of 2015, and Carolina and her partner helped me navigate my wedding that took place in two parts, the comune in Florence (otherwise known as the Palazzo Vecchio) and the reception/second ceremony/etc at Villa Montalto, our venue. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, they were extremely organized which meant that my husband and I were a lot less stressed out. You have NO idea how complicated things can be planning a wedding with 100 guests in a country where neither of you was born. I could not thank them enough because we truly had a beautiful day that was very much part to their help. I also recommend using them for villa rentals in Tuscany, I live here and it can be difficult to find a reputable agent and they are awesome at finding the perfect villa for you (including one that was the legit 'bramasole' in 'Under The Tuscan Sun' in Cortona.

We were pleased with our experience and found Lucy to be extremely patient and very professional during our tour, and the local store owners seemed to welcome us as well! Lucy not only toured several shops for us as we looked for that perfect gift; she asked all of the right questions prior to our appointment and toured us at the cutest specialty stores and together we found that perfect gift! Try Good 2 Go Go, for yourself, Lucy makes it easy and fun! We simply scheduled an appointment, explained what we were looking for and the next thing I knew, we were on a real-time video chat in the specialty stores, speaking directly with the store owners and their representatives as they helped us to make an informed decision prior to our purchase, it was really neat. We thank you Good 2 Go Go!! From your East Coast friends, I'm sure we'll SEE you again real soon!" Will and Lilli/ Virginia

I contacted Sara (sent her pics and videos of the issue) and she just stopped responding to us.

After which Sara proceeded to leave us a bad review talking about how we were bad guests -- classic blame shifting.

Then arrived on site to a massive renovation happening next door. I called him to ask him to please refund since he was not honest about the situation and he told me to stay on site a night and we'd deal with it the next day, to which I said no. He then wrote a very nasty and misleading review on Airbnb about my stay even though I was only onsite 15 mins. AVOID! These are scammers only interested in making money, not honoring the guest. Here is proof he was lying: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1T3rjUNGn09JdJyrSXdBb75g3CTCHlWZ0?usp=sharing Also he wrote this nasty review on my airbnb (which is the only bad one out of 30) and it just shows what a misleading and disgusting person he is: We were disappointed with our experience hosting V. Throughout her stay, she expressed dissatisfaction with the property and, unfortunately, made repeated threats to leave a negative review. V mentioned that the scent of cleaning products was too strong, but we explained that we prioritize sanitization between each guest to ensure a safe and clean environment. This has never been an issue for previous guests. Additionally, she mentioned construction next door. We personally checked the property earlier in the day, and there was no active construction at the time. While it's possible the neighbors were doing light work, there was no disruption during her stay. Despite our best efforts to accommodate V and address her concerns, she continued to insist on a full refund and threatened a bad review. We ultimately had to reach out to Airbnb for assistance due to the ongoing threats. We always strive to provide a positive experience for our guests and are sorry that this stay did not meet her expectations.

There is a private garage available too! We weren't lucky with unusually cool weather for the first couple of days and we had a little problem with the heat but both the Globe representative and the owner responded with assistance immediately so that our stay was very comfortable. The kitchen is situated well so that cooking is a pleasure. There was a nice BBQ grill with a full gas tank in the nice little private garden where it's possible to entertain as well. This place is perfect for a couple who would want either a private holiday or would like to entertain. (We had a dinner party for a total of six). There were 2 beach cruiser bikes available complimentary of Globe (not the owner) and we never used them because the chains were too rusty. They may have worked but we were too busy to try them. This is a new Globe rental and it's a little charm! We would return to stay there in the future and we highly recommend this place to other travellors!

The main reason that it is not a higher star rating is because it felt like a switch and bait…read morehotel. The photos online were beautiful and did show the view I was going to get, but outside of the view, everything else was false. Per the photos that were uploaded by the company, the shower was modern, the bed was modern, and the actual unit looked clean and welcoming. The actual site was completely different. Inside the room, everything looked like it was falling apart, the windows did crank open, but they were a hassle to open and close. The bed itself was very firm and had some mystery stains on both the bedding and the pillowcases. The bed frame was broken or was about to become broken. It made a god awful noise everytime I moved on it. The shower itself was small, but the water flow was strong, the only real issue was that it made this horrid, high pitched, screeching noise everytime it was turned on and lasted for as long as the shower was turned on. For the price I was paying, not including the pet fee and the refundable security deposit, I expected to get the room that I had seen in the photos and not a memory of the room that was presented on the website. At the end of it all, it's right across from the beach, everything is within walking distance and in the end, if I'm in Venice, I just want to have a place to sleep thats right on the beach. (also the lobby is weirdly warm. Like I don't know how the front desk workers handle it. They deserve a AC or at least a fan to keep them cool)

The worst "hotel" I have ever stayed in! There was no electrical outlet by the table with the…read morecoffee maker so I had to use the very tiny side table next to the bed (with a lamp on it). The interior was old and ugly. The shower head was low enough for a child. No instructions for the small TV so I could never get that to change channels. No soap in the room. The big window near the bed and street did not close all the way so the paper-thin blind covering banged back and forth through the night. BUT the noise at night was just the worst! So many homeless talking, even screaming at 3am (had to call 9-1-1). Loud music blasting so there was no rest for the entire stay! Absolutely a pit of a "hotel." DO NOT book here!!
