We had a great experience staying at this house over spring break. The owner was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating. The house was clean well set up for large groups, giving lots of privacy and everybody their own bathroom. The pool was amazing. We spent a lot of time relaxing in the backyard. We hope to stay there again someday!

Absolutely wonderful stay! Our family got together for Christmas and could not have stayed at a better property. The kids spent every minute that they could in the pool. I’ve stayed in other rental homes, and this one felt comfortable and “homey”. Anastasia could not have been nicer or more accommodating! If we ever need to stay in the area again, we will be renting this home again.

Great place for big groups

Part of me wants to keep this home a secret to avoid competition for it. It is a wonderful home for our large family. Imagine needing something and then finding it in the well-equipped and neatly organized kitchen. The pool and hot tub were heated in advance of our arrival. The host was attentive and responsive to questions we had. It's so good we will rent this home again.

Excellent place for 13 guys on fraternity trip

Anastasia was excellent in meeting all our needs. The kitchen and large room were great for our group comrade. The bedrooms were excellent although by adding beds for us, one room did not have a closet or bathroom. The location is close enough to Surprise and there is a Frys market within 7 or 8 minutes.

Palazzo Toscano was perfect for our group of 9 guys. We had a great time around the pool and hanging out in and around the house. Everything was described accurately in the listing. The house was clean and comfortable, and the air conditioning worked well, which is important in the desert climate.Anstasia was a great host and very communicative, before during and after. One of our group members left an item and she was gracious to help gret it sent back to him, which we appreciate.Would definitely stay here again the next time we are out this way.
