About this house rental
Villa Fiori in scenic Manchester-by-the-sea is a short walk from local Black & White Beach and a 3 minute drive from the famous Singing Beach! Perfect for family reunions and group vacations. Only 45 minutes from Boston by train or car.
The unique Villa Fiori was designed by the same architect as the world renowned Isabela Stuart Gardner Museum in Boston as a wedding present from a father to his daughter in 1896. The historic mansion was updated over the years.
When you walk into the house you are greeted by an Italian style courtyard and grand stairway. The first floor features a formal dining room with a sunroom attached, a large eat-in kitchen with double ovens, two dishwashers, a Miele 6 burner stove top, and back porch with two grills. Perfect for entertaining. Also, on the first floor is the classic and cozy walnut paneled library filled with books and games. It is furnished with a bar, wine refrigerator, a card table, and ample seating around the fireplace and tv. The library opens up to the patio and garden. The outdoor furniture and fire-pit sit above the large lawn. The formal gardens and the surrounding woods give a sense of privacy belying the close proximity to downtown Manchester and Gloucester. Finally, there is a powder room off of the courtyard and off the back hallway there is also a laundry room with a washer, dryer and iron.
The second floor features two master bedrooms with queen sized beds and baths, two suites with double twin beds and baths, two bedrooms with double sized beds, one bedroom with a queen sized bed, and one bedroom with a twin bed. There are four full bathrooms on the second floor and one half bath that serves the third floor.
The third floor has two bedrooms, the larger featuring a queen sized bed and the second room has two twin beds.
During the summer months relax on our patio in the comfortable lawn furniture and with the outdoor fire pit that overlooks the great lawn where you can also enjoy a game of volleyball or badminton. On our back porch, have fun with the fooseball table or play some basketball on our small home court.

We were so lucky to find this amazing property to host our guests for our wedding weekend. It is an amazing building to behold: ample space, gorgeous details throughout, functional fireplaces, comfortable beds. Every turn we took, there was something new to discover. This beautiful property certainly made our weekend, and made our guests feel at ease. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you to the wonderful communication, both on the VRBO app and with the property manager directly by text. Is there something more than 5 stars?

It was a wonderful stay! What an amazing house. The space was clean and beautiful and the host was incredibly responsive. Different rooms are hot or cold, so choose the one that's best for how you sleep! This was perfect for the student retreat we ran

Mold in dishwasher - gross. Window Sills, door jambs, threshholds caked with insects. Spacious with lots of beds. Couches in living room broken down and musty. Very old house - charm, but old smell. Host/ Property manager very accommodating!Needs TLC. lots.
