Merrion is brilliant, I have used her many times over the years, she has found some exceptional properties in beautiful places. She has always been so professional and discreet and able to accommodate whatever our requests may have been. I highly recommend her, thank you Merrion!”

Dear Merrion,
Our apologies for our tardy response to providing feedback to you on our most fabulous Ski Safari with Mario Delmonego.
The skiing was excellent. We kept pinching ourselves over the perfect conditions, fresh snow, groomed terrains, little ice and lots of sunshine with comfortable temperatures. That in itself makes for an joyful ski holiday.
Mario is pleasant, fun, interesting, very knowledgable of the region and it’s rich history and overall a delight to have in our presence. We enjoyed his company and guidance on safari. It was our pleasure to spend seven days skiing, dining and touring with Mario. We cannot say enough positive things about Mario…Every day, every meal and service on the mountain was exceptional…. Merrion, thank you for your guidance we hope we are fortunate to hire your services again in the future, as well as, go on another tour with Mario. We will recommend your services to anyone we know that maybe touring Europe.
Thank you for your patience and for all you did to make our Ski Safari beyond our expectations.

Without wanting to sound ‘smug’, the huge benefit of using the same ‘travel consultant/epxert’ when planning a trip to Italy, means that they know your expectations, preferences and priorities. Despite having lived in Italy for 8 years and having travelled most of the country, I would still be reluctant to book anything for a week or more without it having been ‘vetted’ by Merrion. She has a unique skill in matching a property to the ‘needs and wants’ of her clients.
This year was no exception! We chose Villa Oasis primarily for its history, unique location and views, none of which disappointed. Merrion organised the wonderful ‘Chicca’, one of the best cooks we have ever had whilst holidaying in Italy. She planned and organised not just the catering but also organised yours and trips to local vineyards and restaurants. Her husband, Arnaud (an experienced cyclist) led our group on the most wonderful cycling tours.
The service at the villa was amazingly efficient (thank you Monica!) and friendly and left us wanting for nothing.

I have worked with Merrion Charles, as my trusted guide to Italian villa rentals, for many years. Merrion has also helped numerous friends whom I have referred to her. Her properties, all which she personally knows, are first rate, her advice is excellent, and her care of clients ensures a seamless and relaxed holiday. After discovering Merrion I haven’t thought of looking to other Italian villa rental or hotel advisors.

All I can say about your assistance and help is that we had the trip of a lifetime and there is no way on earth we could have done it without you. You were able to put my mind at ease and I felt that I was in good hands the entire time. We stayed in hotels and visited places I don’t think we would have without your recommendations. I would recommend your services to anyone and everyone and if you’d have us I will absolutely reach out to you on future trips.
As you know we had an absolutely wonderful time on the trip. It will really be one of my favourites we have taken so far (many more to come I’m sure!). .. Once you got us settled on Sicily and we were trying to figure out how to do it it became clear it would be one of those trips where we decide “This is gonna be a journey and we’re just going to let whatever happens happen” and it turned out to be amazing… Modica was a bit of a dream. I’m SO GLAD we stayed at Casa Talia – we still talk about it.
The boat trip with Piero was WELL worth the drive across the island. He was amazing. I’d recommend that boat excursion over and over again. Palermo was a wonderfully chaotic experience. I loved it all and the service at Grand Hotel e Des Palmes was maybe the best I have ever had… the breakfast there was also insane. So perfect.
I’m just so happy I reached out to you for advice and even happier that you planned this incredible vacation for us. It’s really amazing when you find someone who you just click with and who has the same idea of how to travel and how to experience the places you travel to. I can’t imagine having to ever see the views “from a bus” and thankfully, knowing you, I never will.

“I am thrilled, proud and honoured to be mentioned in ‘Always Italy’ – a fabulous new publication by Frances Mayes in conjunction with Ondine Cohane. I would highly recommend anyone to purchase this beautiful, informative and highly researched ‘encyclopaedia’ about Italy. Beautifully illustrated, written from the heart and the perfect gift for any Italophile!”
