Villa Cornelia

“A fabulous experience in every way. Thank you for all your help in working with us to choose the perfect villa and for all the recommendations. A trip to remember.”

“Our experience with Doorways was exceptional — La Casetta and The Farmhouse were impeccable, and the owners’ hospitality was off the charts. Two of the most magical properties in all of Umbria. Can’t wait to return!”

“My longtime dream of renting a villa with friends in Tuscany became a reality thanks to Susan and Doorways. Villa Laura was the perfect property — and Susan is trustworthy, professional, and passionate about her stunning properties.”

“Awesome! Great central location and splendid views. A great, great place. This was my second time with Doorways and it was even better than the first!”

“We absolutely loved the villa on Lake Como. The local concierge devised a fabulous itinerary, and each of the services — provisions, chefs, tours on the lake — was exceptional. Our first time renting a villa, and we would highly recommend.”

“Phenomenal. The villa was a restful, beautiful place to stay, with spectacular views in Tuscany. Fresh herbs outside the door, a wood fire, more amazing views, and a quick dip in the pool. The four of us loved it — go, enjoy!”

“We couldn't have been better-taken care of! This was a very special experience — one that will be etched in our hearts forever.”

“Three-sixty views over golden wheat fields and sunflower crops, a beautifully kept pool, an olive grove and fruit trees. And Mariela the housekeeper — what a wonderful person. The grounds, the views and the pool: magnificent.”

“I cannot speak highly enough of Doorways! Susan planned our stay and our wedding at Villa Laura in Cortona, and it was beyond our wildest dreams. Sophie the house manager gave us the best week of all our lives.”

“From arrival to departure, the week was filled with incredible hospitality, warmth and beauty. The description and photos did not do the experience justice. Xenia has created something truly special, and the Chianti hills were idyllic. Belissimo!”

“Villa Mida is a delightful surprise — amazing water views, a unique indoor spa, attentive staff. After full days exploring the Amalfi Coast it was wonderful to return to a soothing setting to recharge. We can’t wait to return!”

“This villa was amazing — everywhere you looked was a “wow” moment. Pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, king-size beds with double shower heads. Bocce, foosball, ping pong. Thanks Susan for recommending this property for the four couples.”

“The villa was spectacular. The service from the property manager and maid was first class, and the modern amenities were much appreciated. A five-star luxury experience.”

“10/10 would highly recommend. Susan is the utmost professional, full of knowledge, and she really gets to know you. Her trip planning and the details she provides are very valuable. A must if you want a unique and tailored experience!”

“We had the absolute best experience working with Susan. We stayed at CasaCau in Roma — wonderful accommodations, delicious breakfast every morning, and the location was absolutely amazing — just down the road from the Fontana di Trevi. A real gem!”

“La Poggiolaia is a beautiful property with an amazing pool — and the sunsets are stunning.”

“Comfortable in every way — and the chef was outstanding. Walking, eating, exploring… just entering into the beauty and culture of Italy.”
