About this property

Villa Italia "Villas by Christine"

Perfect location, Charming Villa!!
Guests are loving the newly renovated Villa Italia. Two luxury Masters with separate bathrooms - one upstairs & one down.
Within the upstairs bedroom you have a queen size bed along with a full size couch for lounging during the day.
We are pet friendly. Please let us know you will be bringing your pet. Pet fee of $100. can be paid beforehand by adding pet to reservation.
After 10 years of overwhelming success with the Harbor House, (Property # 437948 to see reviews) we have opened "Villa's by Christine." Christine's goal around the 2 year Villa Italia renovation was for her guests to feel the charm of a classic Italian Villa while experiencing the amenities of a 5 star Hotel. As with the Harbor House, Villa Italia is on the same quaint residential Street just steps from the charming downtown boutiques. restaurants and Pub's of Safety Harbor. Having a family reunion or need more space??? Check out our properties next door Villa Key West &/or Harbor House Villa - property #'s 1539691 & 437948.
I live nearby & I'm available to answer questions
This home is just steps away from downtown Safety Harbors Restaurants, Pubs, Shops, concerts & special events. We are literally steps from the Art & Music Center, Daydreamers Cafe, Cafe Vino Tinto, Gigglewaters Social Club & everything on Main Street. Just park your car and walk to all the entertainment, restaurants and pubs Safety Harbor has to offer.

Terrific Vacation Rental!
I helped my grandaughter, her husband & their baby move to Florida. We stayed at this property 3 nights to give them time to find more permanent housing. It was perfect, very clean, updated, extremely well stocked with everything needed, including snacks which were greatly enjoyed after a long day of travel. Beds were very comfortable, AC in every room was terrific, large screen TV with streaming channels was also great. We found time for a day at the beach and enjoyed the provided beach towels, beach bag, chairs & umbrella. I highly recommend this property.....and thank you Christine for being so attentive to everything!

10 Star Villa
There is not enough room here to tell you how amazing and lovely this property is! It all begins with walking into a well appointed living space and being welcomed with a bottle of delicious red wine and a kind note from the owners! There is a welcome manual which we found to be very helpful, too. It gave an overview of the property and suggestions for local places to eat. The unit is located within walking distance to Main Street which has many fun shops and eateries. The owners have also made sure that guests have everything they need from nice, extra thick beach towels to a basket of items you may have forgotten to bring. Nothing has gone unnoticed! In addition, there are instructions with pics on how to operate all systems such as the TVs, Alexa, and the air units. The unit is decorated beautifully and is extremely clean! The Italian Villa is truly the best vrbo we have ever rented and we are already planning on returning In the near future.

Exceeded our expectations!!!
As many Northeners, we were looking to escape the cold for a bit this winter. The Villa Italia by Christine on VRBO caught my husband's eye and we were enchanted with the pictures so we booked it. Well, the place is even lovelier in person. The hosts have thought of everything you would need. Nice fluffy towels, fresh scented sheets, comfortable beds, beach towel and chairs. They even had some basic toiletries in case you had forgotten to pack something. The house is tastefully decorated with items directly from Italy. Before leaving home I thought of bringing some kitchen gadgets that I always use but decided against it. I must say, everything I was thinking of bringing was already in this kitchen. There were even spices, sugar and coffee. Also a bin of emergency items!! That was such a plus. The home is a stone's throw to Main Street with fabulous restaurants and stores; a truly walking city. This was such a delightful find. The hosts were friendly, kind and helpful with suggestions for entertainment. It was our first time renting through VRBO and all I can say, the hosts have set the bar very high for our expections for other places. You will not be disappointed if you rent this villa. I will be telling everyone what a fantastic find Villas by Christine is.

Safety Harbor
This is our second time staying at this property! It’s the perfect location for us. This is a charming cottage. It has everything you will need and is clean, safe and in walking distance to some great restaurants. We book for Christmas and the owner has a full Xmas tree in the living room so all we needed to bring were the gifts. We will return!

So many things to like
This was hands-down, the cleanest property we’ve ever rented. Christine‘s choices to make it a themed suite were impeccable with many small touches. The location can’t be beat and Safety Harbor is a lovely town as is Dunedin next-door.

Lovely villa
This was probably the very best vacation stay we have had in a long time. Safety Harbor is one of our favorite towns and never disappoints, it is so friendly and The Villa allows easy walking to all places! The Villa was absolutely gorgeous and so clean! Care has been put in to the entire house from the decor, to the top quality bed linens. Luxury is in every corner of this beautiful home. The back patio is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a busy day. No expense has been spared to make guests feel at home and we loved the bottle of wine that was left for us by the host. We have stayed in many properties across the country, but this is by far the absolute best. We will be back again for sure! Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your lovely and luxurious Villa!

Fantastic!!
What a beautiful little Italian Villa in the heart of downtown Safety Harbor! My fiancé (now husband!) and I stayed here for our wedding night, and I can't stress enough how absolutely perfect Christine's little slice of Italy is. Beautiful decor, so clean, and close to all the shops and restaurants on Main Street. My only regret is we couldn't stay longer!

Lovely space close to downtown Safety Harbor
Lovely space located within blocks of downtown Safety Harbor. It was clean, welcoming and host thought of everything! We flew in from Michigan so could not bring any beach necessities with us. No worries! She had chairs and towels ready for to use. The back patio was delightful. The rooms were comfortable and private. We would stay here again when visiting the area!

This is by far one of the best managed VRBOs that’s I’ve stayed in. It was clean, it had many amenities to make the stay comfortable, even the sheets were comfortable. It’s clear that the owners care about their properties and making their guest’s stay seamless.
