Guestbook for La Torre Dei Venti

From Our Visitors' Book Summer 2006

Dear Marie-Claire, Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality and personal generosity toward Nicole and the children .... We have had a fabulous time at 'La Torre' which truly is a magical place to explore the surrounding area .... The 2 meals you prepared for us were truly magnificent and being able to enjoy such great food in your home environment will be a memory we will cherish .... I am sure we will return at some time in the future as we feel 2 weeks has only given us a taste for more !! Gregory, Nicole , Katie and Toby Treasure , Hong-Kong

Dear Marie-Claire, You certainly were not exaggerating when you described 'La Torre Dei Venti' as 'this small corner of Paradise.....' It will be a long time before the memory of the stunning view fades , as will the sound of bird-song in the early morning, and the sight of the wild-flowers along the track ....Sheer bliss .... But what really made this a memorable holiday, was the wonderful welcome we received , the superb meals, and the lengths you went to , to make sure we were comfortable ....We feel privileged to have shared your lovely house for a fortnight , and hope to return as soon as we may. Penny and John Bartholomew, England.
