"I can't say enough great things about my living situation at Villa di Santoro. The accommodations, peaceful environment, and other amenities have made this the best living arrangement I have experienced during 20+ years of military service, where I´ve been a geographical bachelor. Accommodations are exceptional, not the substandard living conditions found with apartments. Marble, tile and hardwood floors throughout, unbelievable carpentry, quality fixtures, etc. Just beautiful. As for amenities, you have a gourmet kitchen, reading and relaxation rooms, gorgeous individual bedrooms, deck and pool, great parking, and a basement with fireplace and lounging furniture, TV/Internet, linen service/cleaning Just Awesome.
The summer months are excellent lounging and/or grilling by the pool, enjoying the peace and quiet of the wooded landscape. Vila di Santoro has an extremely large yard - great for chipping a golf ball or just enjoying a stroll. Note: You will not hear traffic, sirens, and the busy nonsense here. Nothing but peace and quiet. I have two state parks, multiple stables, a golf course, running trails, and the Potomac River/Beach within 5 miles of my bedroom. No worries about privacy or friction with the landlord. Mary Ann is a people person fun, caring/lowing, and all about making your stay comfortable and stress free. I'm truly blessed to have Villa di Santotro to call home during the week. You can't beat it!"

"Mary Ann. Thanks so much for opening your home and making me feel so welcome. You really proved to be a lifesaver... Thanks again"

"I want to take a moment to recognize the most peasant and relaxing stay in a short-term accommodation option i have ever had. I've stayed in many rental suites and short-term leased apartments during my 25-plus years with the US military and have never felt a warmer embrace than during my six-month stay with Mary Ann.
The warm family/community atmosphere is perfect for those seeking a quiet and private stay with the option to engage in nightly family-style socializing. Mary Ann presents a very elegant home to wayward professionals like myself; nestled among a rural setting just minutes to area attractions and government offices. I found myself unwinding during the 10-minute drive home from Interstate 395, which presents a beautiful rural landscape filled with trees and a horse farm that invites relaxation. I am saddened to leave, but would definitely recommend Mary Ann's home for any professional seeking to stay in a home rather than a stuffy, worn-out hotel room. Thank you again Mary Ann."

"A true get-away from busy Washington, D.C. First, there is plenty of space, both inside the Villa and outside where you truly feel out in the country. you can spend time out on the Pohick Bay (including free use of a small fishing boat) or hiking along some of the many trails. At the spacious Villa, you can take a swim in the pool (actually swim laps) or relax reading a book in one of the several living areas. While my privacy was always respected...
I always felt a part of the family. I was always invited for dinner, catered events at the property, cookouts outside, and many other events. Mary Ann goes the 'extra mile' for her guest, especially with her cooking. Being a 'guy', most of my food consisted of frozen dinners. I rarely ate them, as Mary Ann was usually preparing something which she always shared with the guest and was ALWAYS delicious. I would highly recommend staying here... it is well worth it and was a wonderful experience."

"From the moment you walk in the door to this gorgeous home you feel relaxing comforts of being a part of a family. Mary Ann makes you feel welcome, as do the other renters. The rooms are comfortable and the bed may be even more comfortable than the one you have in your own home. The common area is elegant, and is a gourmet kitchen for Mary Ann's delicious meal plan. Without doubt, the location provides you with a no-hassle commute to Fort Belvoir and ease of access to the major interstates to numerous historical and regional areas of interest. You are in the middle of a wildlife, so enjoy the beauty of the nearby parks and the Potomac River. If you want to have a place that like a true home away from home, this is the place."

Mary Ann is a wonderful hostess! She makes you feel at home. She Villa is beautiful and very well taken care of. She loves to cook, so she almost always has something going in the kitchen and always has great conversations. It was so nice to come "home" at the end of the work day."

"Mary Ann is a fantastic chef, and the meals are always good with plenty of food for seconds and leftovers. In addition, she is very kind-hearted and with great access to running and biking trails. It's nice to be in a quiet setting away from the city, but with easy access to Washington, D.C. The metro system can be accessed easily by driving to Springfield-Franconia Metro station. This made it very easy to go up and enjoy D.C. on the weekends. If i'm ever back in the area, i will definitely give Mary Ann a call to see if she any rooms available."

Lin and I treasure your friendship and we have experienced personally your wonderful hospitality. We know that entrusting someone in your care can bring a great sense of peace and well being of all involved. Please use us as a reference for those who are interested!."
