Guestbook for Villa Sun
We had a wonderful time! The villa was great (loved the gif basket, lemon marmalade was fantastic). Thank you for helping make our stay great!
We had a nice time. Thanks for the welcome basket, it was very thoughtful, the lemonade and marmalade wonderful, as was the limoncello. The house is great and we had a great stay.
The house is wonderful. Very well equipped and comfortable. Make sure you go to the bakery in Torchiarolo and don't miss the melonman who drives past about 10am every morning.
The villa is comfortable and had everything we needed, as well as being well situated for exploring in both directions. We all especially enjoyed the zoo safari at Fasano. We had several enjoyable meals at the Hotel Pizzeria in Casalabate complete with music and dancing. The locals are very friendly and helpful.
