Every Vacation is Important


The Parker Company was founded in 1993 on these principles: treat clients the same way we expect to be treated; surprises, if any, should be of the pleasant variety; and we prefer hard mattresses and soft pillows, not the other way around. These simple goals set us apart.


 Here's how:

1. Every Single Home - We personally see and select every property we represent. We get to know the owners, their staff and the surroundings. We revisit homes throughout the year armed with checklists, customer feedback and suggestions for constant improvement.

2. Pluses & Minuses — Every property has a winning hand and one or more shortcomings. Depending on the need, what one considers a drawback, another may praise. We attempt to give you all the information we possess, help you compare and let you decide. Just click on a property's icons on the Web site for even greater detail or discuss any home with a Parker Travel Advisor by calling us at 1 800 280 2811 in the USA; 0800 032 1704 in the UK or +1 781 596 8282 from anywhere else in the world.

3. Rental Postponement Coverage - By opting for this brand new coverage, you can postpone your Parker rental for any reason whatsoever for up to three years. Click here for more details.

4. Multiple Week Discounts - Rent for two weeks and save 5% on both weeks. Rent three weeks or more and deduct 10% from the total cost. Our offer applies whether you stay at the same property or move to a different property.

5. Guaranteed Pricing - There's no fine print and no hidden escalation clause. The price you paid at the time of booking is guaranteed. Period.

6. Online Booking - Although we prefer the phone over the internet, time and distance don't always make that feasible. Our Web site is packed with property information, pictures, and up-to-the-minute availability that allows you to book in real time.

7. Layered Support - Should a problem occur during your stay, owners and caretakers are the standard first line of defense. We do more. Should an owner be unable to assist you, our people will. The Parker Italia office, located in Genova, is also there assist you. They know who you are and where you are staying.

8. Actividayz.com - Hundreds of unique day trips in Italy designed to put you in touch with the land, its people and the culture are available online at Actividayz.com. Learn to cook, make ceramics, hunt for truffles, explore hidden wine cellars and more.

9. 100,000 More Reasons - Since our first year, when a few hundred guests stayed in homes we represented, up through today, over 100,000 people have stayed at a Parker property.



While our services are comprehensive, we also realize that vacation rentals are not for everyone.
This type of holiday requires a thoughtful up front commitment on your part.
To ensure success, you must determine your needs, evaluate choices and manage logistics.
We have strived to make the process informative and fun and created the mechanisms
to keep it that way throughout your trip.

After all, your vacation is extremely important — to both of us.
Mario Scalzi, President
