If you have been talking about a vacation in Rome forever or if you have been to the city before but are dreaming of going back, then we would suggest booking your villa in Rome right now – for Christmas! The Eternal City always has plenty to offer visitors but at this time of the year it is extra magical and here’s why:

The city is adorned with dazzling lights and decorations and is filled with a festive atmosphere and various activities – this makes the famous attractions and landmarks from the Colosseum to St Peter's all the more beautiful!

In the weeks running up to the big day, Christmas concerts will take place, there will be markets, restaurants will serve even more delicious feasts, bakeries will be stuffed with festive treats, shops will be selling special gifts, festive events and attractions will be held, and much more besides, giving you the chance to engage in local traditions and experience a Roman Christmas...

Are you looking for something special for your next holiday but you are not sure where to start? Well, why not check out our new listings section on the Easy Reserve website?

A nice place to begin your search for a perfect villa or vacation rental, these new listings also often have better availability than other properties, with more open calendars. If you are flexible and want to consider a large variety of prices and dates, this is an excellent option but, conversely, if you have a specific time of year that you want to travel, these holiday rentals often have enough gaps in their calendars to suit your needs. 

Reviews are a really helpful way to choose a brand to shop from and to check out products that you are interested in.

It’s no different when the product is a holiday and, here at Easy Reserve, we pride ourselves on our efforts to ensure our guests are happy but don’t just take our word for it: after the rush of the summer, we have lots of new reviews from our guests who travelled with Easy Reserve this summer. The following is simply a selection to whet your appetite and get you imagining a perfect getaway before booking a villa with us. For more guest reviews, check them out here and for reviews of particular properties, simply scroll down on the listing and after the specs and calendar, you’ll find reviews (where we have them – newer listings may not have any/many yet).

And now for what our customers have to say...

While there are plenty of things to keep the adults in the group entertained all throughout the region during a stay in one of our Tuscany Villas – wine-tasting, shopping, visits to museums, wandering around historic towns, and more – many of these activities are either less interesting to children or not for children at all. A great vacation in Tuscany that everyone can enjoy will involve combining the must-see activities that adults don’t want to miss with both experiences everyone will appreciate and outings that will specifically appeal to the little ones in your group. Here are some of our best suggestions of things to do with the kids (and things that those who are kids at heart will love) during your next visit to Tuscany...

The Last Supper, one of the most famous of da Vinci’s world-renowned masterpieces and one of the most instantly recognisable paintings in the history of the modern world, is located  on a wall in the refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. Despite the disastrous experimental method used in creating the work, the passage of time, damage inflicted during World War II, and inadequate restoration efforts in the 19th century, this iconic wall painting remains and is a must-see while you still can.

In the 20th century, an extensive 22-year restoration project to save the painting was undertaken, finally concluding in 1999. While this endeavour helped extend the lifespan of the piece, the damage remains severe. Nevertheless, visitors continue to flock to see this captivating and stunning work, with many returning time and again. If you have booked a holiday rental in Milan or even if you have just one day in Milan during your vacation in Italy, a visit to The Last Supper is an absolute must but here’s what you should know if you're planning a visit...
