I have just returned home from an amazing stay at the Terra Verde Villa Gianessa. The home was
absolutely beautiful and so comfortable. The pool and hot tub in the backyard were definite highlights
to me. The home was kept up beautifully and very clean. Overall we had an amazing stay. Thanks for
making our Disney Vacation 2006 incredible. See you next year.

With all that said, we really wanted to
tell you how much we loved your home.
It was the perfect fit for our family and
the fact that almost every bedroom had
it's own bathroom made it that much
better. We loved being so close to all
the parks and yet far enough away to
relax. We used the clubhouse to
exercise and our children loved the
pool; they met other children and
played with them! Staying at the Villa
Gianessa was like staying at a resort
without all the added expenses and the
ability to cook and relax in your own
home. Thank you again for working with
us and allowing us to enjoy your home
away from home.
Fondly, Kate Farmer-Smith

After a week at the villa it was hard to come home.
The house was gorgeous and the weather was
beautiful throughout our stay. My friends and I all
had a wonderful time.

Your home worked for us during our stay in Orlando. The kids each had their own
bedroom and bath. They all share a bathroom or two at home. This enabled them
to get up and go to the parks. "Ernesto" was over-rated in Florida despite the rain
back home. The parks had minor crowds and lines for popular rides. Between the weather
channel playing repeats from Katrina, last year, and Ernesto, this year it was confusing on
TV. The kids and I like to scuba dive while visiting coastal areas so we check the NOAA
website and radio broadcasts for weather information and they never indicated more than
heavy rain for the area. It gave us the confidence to continue a road trip through the South
towards your home. I found the Wal-Mart and Publix on 192. The markets worked out
great for us. Two thirds of our meals were on the road, so when we arrived in Orlando, we
were ready for some home cooking. The kitchen worked well for me. I really liked your
large coffee maker. The pool and spa were wonderful too. We have a pool at home so
everyone knew how to handle themselves. The beds were comfortable and after a long day
in a park, who can't sleep?
Thanks for renting us your home in Orlando. Mona and I will be sure to tell others about it.

The home was very comfortable and lovely. It met our needs for 8 members of our family.
The children loved the game room and we would have enjoyed the pool if the weather had
been warmer. Our time was spent mostly at the theme parks, but enjoyed the house when
we returned after a long day. We appreciated having a comfortable home that we could
enjoy together. It was a good, but very busy vacation. Next time, we want to relax more.

The villa is Beautiful!!! It is so roomy
and comfortable, even my two year old
had a room to herself. I love that it is so
close to all the attractions. We had a
wonderful time.

We had an amazing time at the Villa!
What a treat to have our own private
pool and hot tub - what a highlight!
The house was spacious and lovely;
the kitchen was set-up very well
(pots, pans, appliances, etc.) There's
even a laundry room and game
room! Our son and family joined us
and we had a wonderful time! We all
hated to leave!!

Just returned home from a lovely stay in the villa. It was very nice, and accomadated our
family of 10 nicely. The community is very clean and safe. The pool and hot tub are nice to
come home to after a long day at the parks! Our boys loved the game room, and my
husband and I loved the high chair and crib for the baby!

What a great house! Our family loved the house
and it was very convenient to Disney and the
other parks. We swam in the pool at least twice a
day and our kids could not wait to get to the
pool, even when we were in the parks! The
house was well furnished, clean, and made our
trip great!

We had an amazing stay at the Villa Gianessa. The house is exactly like the
pictures and description. It is without a doubt the best place to stay. The pool
and hot tub in the backyard were definite highlights to us. All screened in and
with the safety gates. Our grand daughter was in the pool every chance she got.
My parents (in their 70's) enjoyed everything from the comfortable bed (on the
first floor) to the game room! We had four generations stay at the Villa and a
great time was had by all!
The home was kept up beautifully and very clean. See you next year. All 4
generations will be back again!

Excellent stay. House surpassed our
expectations. We were 2 families with 4
young kids and there was ample room for
everyone -- and plenty of bathrooms! The
pool was the best part. Our kids begged to
swim every day.

Helen,
we had a wonderful visit at your beautiful
home... Everything was easy to find and it was
nice and clean. We would love to stay there
again and definitely recommend Villa Gianessa
to friends and family.

Hello Helen,
Just got back from our vacation and I wanted to thank you for letting us rent your house.
The house is gorgeous minutes away from everything we wanted to do. After traveling
for most of the morning on the first day the lanai with the pool and hot tub was a great
place to let the children work off some energy in the water while we relaxed. There was
plenty of room for all 9 of us in the house, and my son became addicted to ping pong in
the beautiful games room. The only unfortunate part was that we only had three days to
enjoy your house, but we are working on plans to rent the house the same time next
year for a longer period, hopefully it is available.
Thanks again

Our stay at Villa Gianessa exceeded our expectation -
the house has everything one need to a vacation
period in the DisneyWorld area - comfort, facilities (all
working well), safety, good location near the parks and
shopping areas, in a neat and nice Resort - Terra
Verde. We were a party of 11, ranging in age from 4 to
60, and from the little girl to her grandfather the
opinion was unanimous - everybody enjoyed the stay
and regretted not having more leisure time at the
house (pool, game room, etc.) due to the time spent at
the various parks and local attractions.
Also impressive: we didn't meet personally the owner
or any people of the management company -
everything was ready when we arrived, and was kept
properly (swimming pool)during our stay.
Whenever we visit the area, we would definitely
choose to stay at Villa Gianessa again.

The La Salle Summer Immersion Trip to serve at Give Kids The World Village stayed in
your beautiful home in June, 2008. We were very impressed with the spacious rooms,
the number of bathrooms, the extemely well equipped kitchen and the pool. The boys
really made use of the game room in the garage.
We also enjoyed swimming at the Clubhouse pool and playing sand volleyball there.
We had a great stay and hope to be back next year.

Hi There,
We just returned home from spring break at the Villa
Giannessa. What a great place to stay our large
extended family rented 2 homes in Terre Verde with
the help of Helen helping me find one nearby. We had
a great time and it was a nice location to all
attractions and restaurants. We would highly
recommend to all. Thanks for all your help Helen, you
helped make it a great vacation. Debbie

This villa was outstanding. We stayed with 9 men on a golfing vacation and
couldn't have asked for anything more. Close to many outstanding golf
courses and convienient to the nightlife at Disney/Universal. The amenities
where fabulous. Spacious and everyone had there own bed. We play golf in
March every year and would definitely stay at this Villa again. Terra Verde is
much better that "suite" hotels. Owners where accomadating, helpful, and
very timely. Great place + Great Owners + Great Area = Awesome
VACATION.... WE'LL BE BACK

The villa is nice! From the
moment we arrived, it felt as if it
was our house. Everything is
very clean, starting with the
spacious bedrooms which 4 of
them have their own bathroom
(which the kids and everyone
loved). It has a huge and well
equipped kitchen. The
enclosed pool area is spacious
and a nice to have when
getting home from an
exhausting day at the parks.
The game room is a lot of fun
for the young and the not so
young too. The clubhouse has
a friendly staff, and a nice bar,
basketball, volleyball, and
children’s playground. The one
thing we would like to add here
is that the owners are super
nice and this is what really
closes the circle and gives you
a truly pleasurable experience.
Try it you will not regret it.

Our family just got back from staying at Villa Gianessa for our 10 night stay.
The place was amazing!! So many days the kids just wanted to stay at the
house rather than go back to Disney World. Now that should say
something!! Everything was clean and comfortable, and it made a great
haven after a hectic day at the parks. We will definitely be back and
recommend your amazing house to our friends.

My family and I just returned from our vacation. We
stayed at Villa Gianessa for 4 days with 12 people.
The home was beautiful with all the amenities of
being at home. I would stay there again in a
heartbeat. I will be planning our vacation for next year
and would love to book Villa
Gianessa again. While booking the home, the owner
got back with me promptly in answering any of my
concerns. Thanks for contributing to such a beautiful
vacation. Have a Happy New Year.

My family (2 children,spouses and five grandchildren) just returned from Florida
and I must say Villa Gianessa was one of the biggest highlights of our trip. Both
young and old, that's me, love the pool, hottub, game room etc. Even with eleven
people, we never felt crowded in such an enormous house. Lovely setting,
beautiful home in a gated community, that begs you to come an enjoy. Looking to
return in a couple of years and will be staying at the Villa Gianessa. I highly
recommend all to stay there and enjoy.

We just got back from a 10 day say
at Villa Gianessa. There were 10 of
us ranging in age from 2 to 79. We
all had a blast! The home was clean
and comfortable and roomy.
Everything I needed for my baby
was already there and there were
lots
of toys and games for the kids. I
truly only had to pack clothes! The
owner was a joy to work with. We
loved it!

what a wonderful home. It had it all for the kids! I think they liked the pool and house more than animal kingdom! it
was safe, comfortable, quiet and immaculate. I would recomend this to anyone with a family over a hotel in disney
any day..

I brought a Women's softball team into your home and they
were astonished to say the least.
Not to discount the pool/hot tub and spacious deck, but the
bedrooms, kitchen, and bathrooms allowed all fourteen of
us plenty of space to feel very comfortable and not
overcrowded.
This is my second time staying in the Disney Villa
Gianessa, and I won't look anywhere else!
Thank you so much for another wonderful stay!

We vacationed at Villa Gianessa in August, 2009.
The accommodations of the house were lovely and
very spacious. After running to the parks everyday
and getting home so late - the one comment from my
8 year old niece was - if we do this again can we
spend more time at the house!
We will highly recommend any of our friends going to
Disney or Universal to stay at Villa Gianessa!

We just got back from our stay at the Villa Gianessa. Nice
and clean, We were there on a service trip to work at
Give Kids the World. Your house was great, lots of room,
plenty of bathrooms & with 12 girls you need alot of
space. We got plenty of use of the pool and game room.
WE hope to be back next year.
P.S. I passed the information along to another church
from South Carolina, so that they may try to stay there
next year.
