The Thinking Traveller Reviews 1.176

We loved every minute in our Villa, fabulous staff, the house worked well for our 15 family members. Thank you all.

We had a great experience and I cannot rave enough about our Thinking Traveker rep, Io. She was on top of everything from the moment I started speaking with her. I was able to call her when we were in Parros and ask questions and she was always so eager and helpful. Truly cannot say enough about her and we adored the house as well. Thank you for another great trip thinking traveler.

Beautiful tranquil property with exemplary professional service

Awesome assistance from the local team at Salento and the team at the property

The Villa was spectacular. The view was amazing, waking up with a view of mount Etna was quite a treat. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. Gina And Mr. T kept the Villa immaculate and made us two amazing meals. My favorite was the eggplant Parmesan and the Campanada. Also, they made pasta à la Norma, which is a favorite in Sicily. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to make meals. We enjoyed the pool and the ping-pong table each day. There was plenty of room around the grounds for the kids to run around. The grounds were beautifully landscaped. I would highly recommend a stay at Villa Saracina.

It was a seamless experience dealing with The Thinking Traveller, All arrangements were executed with ease. The villa Jasmine at Kalami Bay was simply superb for our two week stay. It is so hard to find a true Corfiot villa with the bedrooms and bathrooms required for an adult family with partners but Jasmine exceeded expectation. Aircon in all bedrooms, plenty of outdoor and covered space and an infinity edged pool with the most wonderful views. All round exceptional.

Incredibly responsive, attentive and professional. Consistent check-ins and available for any needs or concerns. Highly appreciated the twice weekly house cleaning. Will definitely use this agency again as they are trustworthy and live up to expectations.

The villa I rented in Pazzallo was fun and well organized. It’s quirky because the seaside is for views as it’s a rocky beach but the pool is on the other side and provides a peaceful quiet atmosphere. The owner left basics like coffee, some fruit and other snacks. It was a blissful 10 days.

The next time I travel to Italy I will definitely be using The Thinking Traveler. It was like having your own personal concierge from start to finish. My initial booking with Grace was amazing. She was so helpful in choosing the right location in Sicily and then the right villa for our large group. Melissa was awesome helping us plan all our excursions, car rentals, daily chef service, and honestly anything we needed. During our stay both Melissa and Annalisa were in touch daily helping us with last minute details. They helped with last minute dinner reservations, beach reservations, massages, transfers etc. The service was flawless and I honestly cannot say enough about their team. They made you feel like family. I am grateful to The Thinking Traveler for making my mom's 80th birthday so special. And of course I have to give a shout out to our amazing chef Francesco who prepared 4 lovely meals during our stay. And to Davide who manages the gorgeous La Favorita villa and was so helpful with every little extra detail during our stay. You won't be disappointed. It's a special place with a top notch team managing your experience.

Villa was even better than photos and description. Artemis the local agent was incredibly helpful with restaurant and activity reservations. Booking staff was also great with villa selection and made the process seamless.

Everything worked perfectly, the transfers were easy and it was lovely to arrive on (and leave) the island in a RIB. The villa was beautiful with fantastic views. The islanders were so friendly and helpful and the food and wine was consistently of a high standard. Christiana, the island host, was faultless and made sure everything was exactly as we wanted it.

We booked our trip to Sicily through The Thinking Traveler and had an amazing experience from start to finish. Our initial contact, Jonathan, was outstanding and set the tone for the whole trip. Barbara, Giovanna, and Federica — our local contacts in East Sicily — were equally fantastic. They helped with dinner reservations, beach trips, winery tours, and any questions we had along the way. The whole team made everything seamless and stress-free. The Thinking Traveler truly goes above and beyond. Highly recommend!N

Customer service outstanding; staff friendly and helpful; the villa was amazing!

Grace helped me select the villa to rent based on our needs. Once booked the local team worked with me on experiences, airport transfers, car rentals and dinner reservations. Everyone was supportive, knowledgeable and kind. The property was exceptional and we had a fabulous week.

nothing was too much trouble, communications were seamless, & the quality & personal attention were second to none. our holiday meant just as much to TTT as it did to us. we would wholeheartedly recommend & engage again.

I have spoken to Kerry Berry

The house was great but the best part was the staff and the advice and help we received. They were so helpful and responsive. It made a huge difference.

Great selection of top notch properties, excellent booking administration, and superb on location service from local villa reps.

Booking agent was very efficient during process and local agents were excellent when I arrived at the rental house. good local advice and dealt with every issue quickly. only negative was slight misrepresentation of the property which was very near the airport (even if the planes did not fly directly overhead).

We were pleased with our welcome and introduction to the house. Ben was great with showing us everything. We could have used some printed info on the recycling but the housekeepers helped us sort everything out. We ordered the welcome dinner on our arrival night and it was fantastic, great to just enjoy the house upon arrival and be taken care of. Staff was responsive when we had an issue with hot water, problem was solved quickly and did not reoccur.
