Our family of 15 just spent an amazing week in Tuscany at Borgo Castelrotto. It had everything we needed from plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, an awesome kitchen, beautiful grounds and finally an amazing host, Violante, who helped us with questions, bookings and anything else we needed. It’s also a great location for to explore Tuscany with pretty much everything you’d want to see between 20-90 minutes away. Would absolutely stay here again.

What a great home!

Three colleagues and I stayed for nearly a week in Chad and Lea's beautiful Cape Cod-style home, and it was perfect for us. The house is newly renovated and immaculately clean, with beautiful finishes throughout. We all slept like rocks in the wonderfully comfortable beds. The location couldn't be better for visiting the U of M campus, or exploring the region. We'll definitely stay again when our work takes us to Maine!

Loved our stay! Short walking distance both to the University and to the town center. Its proximity to the interstate made the drive up from Massachusetts quick and painless. We spent two days at Acadia Nat'l Park; the drive from Orono took us through some pretty countryside and villages. The house was immaculate upon arrival, so we could settle right in. Owners responded quickly when we asked about a recycling barrel/bucket. Our only regret is that there wasn't an outdoor grill.

Maine Get Away

We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back. I left some placemats for the dining table, whuch was great except the metal chairs. Little hard but serviceable just the same. Lovely home that is deceiving on the outside bigger on the inside and love the set up. Had a fuse blow on our visit and Chad and Lea were very quick to handle it when we messaged. Would definitely stay here again.

Great house, exactly as listed, very clean.

This is a beautiful house. Super clean and very comfortable. Quiet street, plenty of off street parking. Had everything we needed. The house is in a great location, easy to get to/from restaurants and the interstate. The owners were very responsive to emails and calls. They were very respectful of those staying in the house (we had 2 people sleeping days and working nights) and made sure to contact us each week, prior to the cleaning staff entering the house. The kitchen had everything we needed and the owners even stocked the fridge with a few breakfast items. Comfortable furnishings and a very pretty backyard to relax in. We would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking to spend anytime in the Orono/Old Town/Bangor area.

Very nice 5 BR house in a great location

We had a very nice 4 night stay at this lovely house in Orono, Maine. We had 3 couples in our group, all in our early 60s. The house met all our needs as it was 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in a 2 story home in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Check-in was easy and the owners promptly responded to all inquiries. Kitchen was well stocked with essentials. Living room was spacious and comfortable. We never turned on the TV but I assume it worked fine. Only suggestion would be more comfortable chairs at the dining room table. The 4 metal chairs and 2 stools were not very comfortable for the 6 of us but it did not detract from our enjoyment of the house. Overall it was a very nice experience.
