Et nous vous disons, non pas adieu, mais bien, à très bientôt, parce que c'est sur, nous reviendrons !

Dear Petra,
My English is much too poor to thank you as you deserve it. Nothing could have been more perfect than your wonderful villa for our company seminar. The 12 of us were absolutely happy with your welcome, your hospitability, your availability at all times (from early in the morning till late at night, sometimes almost round the clock...). The nice rooms, refreshing swimming pool, big garden have all witnessed our entire satisfaction! We were delighted by your delicious Italian cooking, always accompanied by excellent wines. And, last but not least, your grappa was always there at the right time!
We all wish to thank you very much for this nice stay we won't forget!
Kinds regards,
Deli XL Team **************************
Dear Petra,
This has really been an exeptional week for us all to remember. With the warmest welcoming and everything to make us feel home. We all enjoyed the magnificient tenniscourt. Also the perfect pool with the poolhouse and the sauna offcourse, which made our finnish midsummer "juhannus" perfect with the "vinta" of birchtree. Petra, you are an incredible host, made us feel the best guests ever. Looking forward to meet you again and longing for the excellent care that Perla took of us. See you soon!
