We loved our week in Tuscany, where we stayed with our two sons in the Girasole and Gardenia apartments. The view, the green surroundings and the pool were nothing short of perfect. However, we were sad that the owner demanded 123 euros, in addition to the amount paid through VRBO. She sent us the message by mail 15 days before the holiday so we could not manage to find another place to rent. We thought we had paid the full amount as stated by VRBO. We have rented holiday homes several times before through VRBO, but have never experienced having to pay extra before. The owner wrote that we should pay her fee to VRBO in addition to tourist taxes. We would recommend that the rent is regulated before booking is done, so tenants avoid unpleasant surprises and know the real price. Otherwise as said; a beautiful place, we would gladly have stayed longer and we already miss it.
