Vacanza Bella

Vacanza Bella does one thing only: short-term vacation rentals in Italy.

Welcome! I am Daniel Morneau, and I founded Vacanza Bella in 1986. I think, in fact, that we’ve been renting vacation villas longer than anyone else in the US who works exclusively with Italy holiday homes.

I've personally seen each and every one of the Italian self-catering holiday homes Vacanza Bella offers:

furnished vacation apartment rentals in Rome, Florence, and Venice
self-catering flats in Verona, Siena, and Ferrara
weekly vacation villa and farmhouse rentals in Umbria and Tuscany, most with pools
short holiday lets in well-known coastal resorts like Positano, Capri, and Ischia
country house rentals in less touristy areas like Veneto

I have personally visited — and revisited — each and every single Italian vacation rental I offer. I know the owners and housekeepers. I’ve tested the water pressure and the mattresses myself. And as you'll soon discover in reading over our Property Descriptions, our FAQs, our Favorites, our Travel Tips, and our Sample Itineraries, I believe in absolute candor.

How do Vacanza Bella’s Italian vacation rentals work? It’s remarkably simple: Peruse the descriptions. If you see a place you like, either send me an email via the Contact page. Or pick up the phone call me at 415-554-0234. I live much of the time in Rome which allows me to keep close tabs on all my properties. Plus, as you’ll find out in the About Us section of this site, I work essentially alone. Sometimes, if you phone, you’ll receive a voicemail announcement. If so, please do leave a message with both your home and work phone numbers and also your email address, being sure to spell it out carefully. I will return your call or your email message promptly, usually within 24 hours, often within a few minutes.

I don’t like to work entirely by email, especially when you’re close to making a decision on a particular property. At least once or twice, perhaps more frequently, I’ll want to speak with you personally to make absolutely certain that the Italian holiday home you’ve selected is right for you and your needs. Renting a villa in Italy is a tricky business. Each Italy vacation rental property is different, and each of you is different. I want to hear your voice and hear what it is you’re looking for. I don’t want you to stay in any old place.

So peruse; ponder; make some tentative choices; and then send me an email or give me a call. I look forward to communicating with you.

p.s. Oh, and by the way, here’s what Vacanza Bella is not: We are not a travel agency. We do not rent cars. We do not do home exchanges. We do not arrange hotels. We do not plan trips. We do not do France, Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, or any other country.

Vacanza Bella’s sole and only purpose in life is short-term self-catering vacation rentals in Italy.
