Lazio · Sicily · Athens
Three heritage homes, a cottage above the Tiber Valley, a villa on a Sicilian hillside and an apartment in central Athens, kept by our family and opened to yours. Book directly with us.
A cottage above the Tiber Valley in the Lazio hills. A villa on six acres of olive trees in Sicily. An apartment in the bookish, mural-covered heart of Athens. Different landscapes, the same idea: a home that belongs to its place, and hosts who want you to feel like a temporary local.

We keep the collection small on purpose. Booking direct means you deal with the people who know each house, and that the details of your stay are agreed plainly, in writing, with ciao@totin.co at the other end.
01
Write to us and the reply comes from the team that manages the home, not a call centre. Questions about steps, cots, the nearest station or the best Saturday market get a straight answer.
02
Availability is confirmed personally. The house rules and the terms of your stay are put in writing before you travel, so there are no surprises at the door.
03
Truffle hunts near Assisi, the quiet beach, the taverna with the garden: the recommendations in our guides come from our own stays and our guests’ favourites.
04
The availability you see here is the same calendar we keep for Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo. Prefer a platform? Every home is also on Airbnb, and we link to it openly.
05
Planning Rome and Sicily in one trip, or Athens after the Italian countryside? We can help you link stays across the three homes.

Totin is a small collection of three homes, hosted by Mary and looked after on the ground by local managers in each place: a stone cottage in a Lazio hill town, a villa on a Sicilian hillside, and an apartment in central Athens restored room by room. The names say something about how they are meant to be used: by sisters, by brothers, by families and friends who travel together.
Rooted in place. Every home is chosen for its cultural integrity, not for how well it photographs.
Built for slow travel: long lunches, second coffees, the walk you did not plan.
Descriptions that say what the house is, steps and all, without overselling.
Warmth without pretension. Quality without attitude.
We do less, better. Three homes, looked after properly.
★★★★★Two Sisters Villa is a stylish and comfortable hillside retreat with beautiful views over the rolling hills and valley. The home is thoughtfully designed with great decor and a warm, lived-in feel, making it easy to relax the moment you arrive.
★★★★★Its not very often that you find a place that is even better than the pictures. There is usually a let down from pictures to reality, but not here. This location was amazing!
★★★★★The nicest apartment I’ve ever rented in Athens. Beautiful, full of colors, spotless, comfortable for a large group.
★★★★★A little slice of heaven. We had a wonderful weekend at Villa Due Sorelle. The place is lovely, perfect for disconnecting and enjoying a bit of relaxation.
★★★★★Two Brothers Villa was one of the most special places my family and I have visited in Europe. It was very family-friendly for our two girls (aged 3 and 6), who had plenty of space to explore, relax, and enjoy the property safely.
★★★★★We were two families with young children; the apartment was more than perfect. The layout of the bedrooms and the many bathrooms made everything intimate, even though there were 7 of us.
