Guestbook
To Salvatore and Pascale, Just can't thank you enough for our warm welcome and help booking tours when we were in Sciacca this June. I know you have alot of people passing through, we are the couple from Florida with 2 sons 16 and 21(we stayed in the Casa Pauline). Just wanted to let you know that I posted a review on TripAdvisor and how Sciacca was our favourite place in Italy. Salvatore my sons talk alot about our fishing trip that you arranged with Enzo. We found out when we came home that many years ago my husbands Grandparents brought some of their children to the thermal baths to be healed. We to hope one day that we get to come back and spend more time at your place. Thanks Again, Mary F.
Bonjour, nous sommes biens arrivés à la maison ce matin à 7h00. Tout s'est bien déroulé pour ce voyage. Je vous remercie encore pour votre accueil. Notre séjour à Verdetecnica a été des plus agréables et nous ne manquerons pas de vous recommander autour de nous. amicalement, Patrick, Sandrine, Yan et Loïc B.
Hi Pascale and Salvatore Just a quick email to thank you both very much for everything you did to help make our holiday so wonderful. The apartment suited us perfectly, and we really appreciated your friendliness, advice and information, CDs, and welcome basket - especially the supply of delicious apricots and olive oil! Once again, thank you both very much for everything, and we wish you every success with your farming and accommodation. John and Michael
Dear Pascale After we got back to Switzerland safely last Friday I would like to thank you again for the warm welcome and your kind hospitality. We all enjoyed our stay immensely. The setting in the valley and the house itself are most beautiful and has a calming effect on people. All of us intend to come back some time and hopefully for a longer period than just for one week. With pleasure, we will recommend yor house to friends of ours who intend to visit Sicily. Beat
Hi Pascale I just wanted to say thank you for our great stay with you. The house is a lovely place to stay, and in a beautiful setting, even in March! We had an amazing time just relaxing and looking to see what there is around the area. We visited a lot of archeological sites, such as Selinunte, Eraclea Minoa and Valle di Templi, and were amazed by all of them. Sciacca is a very pretty place, and we had a lovely day exploring the old town. I would recommend a stay with you to anyone. With best wishes Kerry & Richard B.
