Our visit to Villa D’Citta was fantastic on so many levels, where do I start? First, you are greeted by Cathy, the wonderful hostess who feels like a friend from the moment you meet her. She shows you the well-stocked kitchen, refrigerator and wine tap which is available 24—7 and reminds you that she cooks gourmet breakfast for the guests every morning. The guest room (we stayed in Milan) is absolutely beautiful with thick windows that block street noise and a very comfortable bed and pillows. The private bathroom was beautiful and and well stocked with toiletries available to the guests. Villa D’Citta is so beautifully decorated, it looks like the kind of place that you would go for a very special occasion. However, it is so affordable and Cathy makes you feel so comfortable, that you can (and we will) go every time we visit Chicago !”

This was my third visit in three years to the Villa D’Citta. Generally, you get tired of visiting the same place, but the Villa D’Citta is my home in Chicago. I will not stay anywhere else, because the villa facility is outstanding with wonderful fireplaces, gourmet kitchen and striking wood floors. What makes me come back again and again is the service and caring you receive from the time you walk through those beautiful villa doors. The charming and delightful manager and concierge of the property is Cathy H. She makes your stay a relaxing experience with no worries. Cathy helps you find fun activities in all price ranges but always at a great value. I always book early sometimes a year in advance to make sure I have my favorite room or rooms. You must try the Villa D’Citta and you will not go back to traditional hotels. God willing, I will be back next year. Can’t Wait!”

“Our son was married down the street from the Villa, so we had our Rehearsal Dinner here and it was just perfect! We occupied 3 of the rooms, the bride and groom and both sets of parents so the setting and size of the rooms couldn’t have been more accommodating. All of the guests were amazed at each different room these, decoration and how fabulous and comfortable the public rooms were. It was such a “hidden gem” I’m still in awe of how fabulous our weekend was. Many thanks to Cathy and her amazing staff!”

“I recently took a business trip to Chicago and now try and stay someplace unique vs. a larger hotel chain. Villa D’Citta was my choice. Even though I had to take the train, staying there was a great choice. The Villa is beautiful and the rooms are wonderful. Everything is so convenient. Breakfast is excellent. I made my own panini sandwich for lunch and I had a pizza one night. Cathy is delightful and helped me with everything, including a great show. The staff are all so nice and hard working. Many great restaurants within walking distance and the Lake Shore is a nice 10 minute walk away. This was the best B & B I have ever stayed at. Thank you Cathy.”

“The only tiny problem with staying at Villa D’Citta in the winter in Chicago is that you may never want to leave! The Grand Tuscan Suite with its cozy fireplace, huge marble bathtub in the bathroom and luscious, huge bed made it very difficult to brave the snowy weather. We have stayed in many B & B’s all over the country and this is truly one of the best. The fact that they offer not only breakfast, but snacks and full meals (paninis and pizza) is truly a plus. Our hostess, Cathy, was wonderful in every way. You can check out a more detailed review about our visit on our blog."
