Guestbook
The house is better than the advert! It is a special gem in an already jeweled countryside. There was nothing missing in the house. You have thought of everything. We have never had such a warm welcome. The wine, pie, and a fully equipped kitchen were very much appreciated. Thank you very much for all the "extras" you include in your villa rental: don't change anything! Sandy and Doro, June 2007.
We had an absolutely fabulous holiday, the house and its location near Radicondoli are both stunning, our expectations from the web-site were very high, but they were exceeded. we loved the wonderfully creative way you had retained its old charachter whilst making it modern and adding some novel touches! Annah and Alex, June 2007.
In our 35 years of travelling, it is one of the places that we liked the best. It is a well equipped large place. Having 4 bathrooms, a sauna, a steam bath, is a real plus and hard to find in other places. We ate out on the garden several times. Higly, Higly recommended. July 2007
