Total Tuscany Podcast

Hey Mario!

​When you sit and talk to Mario Scalzi about Italy, it's like a living version of Google. Ask Mario a question, and he doesn't even need time to think, he answers instantaneously.  Maybe Amazon can rename its Alexa to Mario. 

"Hey Mario, what about the Marche region of Italy can you tell us?"

If you want the answer, you will have to listen to this edition of the Total Tuscany Podcast.  Mario is one of our regular guests on the podcast because he brings so much value to you when we talk with him. 

Of course, we always find time to talk about his company, Parker Villas, but the stories he shares about going off the beaten path are what inspire to plan our next trip! 

When planning a trip, you are going to need a place to call home. Sure there are several places you can rent from online.  But do you really know what you are getting? Take the guesswork and the worry out of your rental property.  Parker Villas offers exclusive homes throughout Italy. What does exclusive mean?  Well, you can't rent them anywhere else. Every villa has been inspected and meets the five star standards that Mario has demanded since he founded the company in 1993. 

​"So Mario, what about Etruscan history can you tell us?"

Again, if you want the answer, listen to the podcast! Not only will you get lots of information in detail, Mario tells us the best places to visit if you want to experience the history of the ancient people had had a significant impact on Roman culture.

Episode 62: REnting With Peace Of Mind

​In today's world of unique travel of experiences, people are quick to rent a property on the internet sight unseen where reviews are manipulated, and pretty pictures don't tell the whole story.

When it comes to a trip of a lifetime to Tuscany, or even Italy for that matter, why chance it? You shouldn't and why Parker Villas is the best when it comes to first-class rental properties and excellent customer service and satisfaction.

Parker Villas just added a new property in Tuscany.  It's calledCatini Alto. Here's the description from the Parker Villas website:

More Photos of Catini Alto

Strategically situated midway between Florence and Pisa and rising 1000 feet above the famous thermal spa town of Montecatini Terme, Catini Alto offers an unforgettable medieval village experience, unparalleled Tuscan views and a host of luxurious, modern day comforts. Accessing Lucca, the Tuscan coast and the Cinque Terre is a breeze from this stylish townhouse.

Aside from the incredibly strategic location, another perk of staying in a medieval village is walking access to a couple of restaurants, cafes, and a local grocer within a few hundred yards. Start off the day with a frothy cappuccino or return home after a day of seeing the sites and walk up the street to the local trattoria.
​Sound like a dream?  It's a perfect property for a group of 8 as it has four bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Mario Scalzi, owner, and founder of Parker Villas has been a regular on our podcast. We have used Parker Villas in the past and have come to appreciate the exclusivity of their properties.  By exclusive we mean the only place you can rent Cantini Alto or the other locations you see on the Parker Villas website is from Parker. 

Mario is the first to admit the competition is fierce, but he refuses to get into a bidding war like a typical internet property broker.  

Mario or someone from Parker Villas has visited every property it offers. There is 24/7 customer service in the United States as well as Italy to guarantee your satisfaction. 

There is a difference between a three-star and a five-star experience.  If you are planning a trip to Italy, don't take chances, where you sleep and call home for a week, or two, or three will make all the difference.
