About Us

Company background…

 

Italy villa rental company, Bookings For You, is owned by Jo Mackay. After studying History at the University of Edinburgh, Jo joined the sales and marketing team at Procter & Gamble. In 2006,  Jo and her family purchased a holiday home on Lake Maggiore in Italy. Jo quickly developed a passion for all things Italian! A few years later, she founded Italian villa rental company Bookings For You.

Bookings For You initially focused on offering holiday villas and apartments in the Italian Lakes. But we quickly spread our travel wings. In 2011 we expanded their portfolio to include villas and apartments in Tuscany and Umbria. Further expansion followed soon after. We now also have villas to rent in Florence, Le Marche, the Amalfi Coast, Sicily and Puglia. In 2017, we crossed the border and launched an exclusive range of villas to rent in France.

This Italy villa rental company now has over 200 holiday villas and apartments for guests to choose from. Our portfolio of villas in Italy caters for a variety of budgets, tastes and party size. We have also personally visited every property on the site. As a result, we can advise you on everything, from travel arrangements to where to eat in the evening.

In 2014, Bookings For You were proud to become a member of ABTOI. The Association of British Travel Organisers to Italy (ABTOI), is dedicated to raising the profile of Italy in Britain as well as promoting it as a multi-faceted tourist destination. ABTOI enjoys the full support of the Italian Tourist Board. ABTOI can boast almost 70 full members to date. Between them, they cover the full range of holiday services to Italy. This ranges from rail travel and skiing holidays to escorted groups and independent travel. It also includes activity specialists and tour operators as well as self catering accommodation providers such as Bookings For You.

In recent years, Bookings For You has received a number of awards recognising our excellent customer service. In 2016, we received a ‘Highly Commended’ from the Good Web Guide. We were also the proud winners of a bronze award at the British Travel Awards in the same year. Over 1.3 million votes were cast in these awards. We took home the Bronze Award for the Best Villa / Self Catering Holiday Booking Company in the small portfolio category.

We then won the 2018 British Travel Award for Best Holiday Villa Company which we were thrilled about. In 2019, we scooped a Bronze and Silver in the BTAs. And then, in 2020, we won Silver in the Best Villa Holiday Company category. In 2022, we won Gold for Best Travel Company for Italy Villa Holidays and Silver for Best Villa Holiday Company in the BTAs. Since these awards are voted for entirely by the public, they mean a lot to us. The company’s aim is to provide an outstanding service to their clients. These awards reflects our guests’ high level of customer satisfaction.
