Guestbook for Incrociati di Sopra

"A Charming Place"
"My husband and I have rented houses, apartments and villas in Italy for the last 20 years, from luxurious to the fairly basic. Incrociati ranks right up there with the best of them for its comfort, beauty of setting, and it's owners' attention to detail. The furnishings are simple, but well chosen, the outdoor eating areas spacious, the garden(s) delectable, the entire property pristine. Maria and Marcel have provided everything that one would possible need for a delightful stay in the country. One must have a car but shopping, restaurants and Siena are not far away.
I cannot receommend this rental too highly. We will be staying there again.
Pat and Richard- Santa Fe, USA (June 2010)


"Comfortable and cosy home"
Dear Maria and Marcel, We really enjoyed staying at your house. It is such a well kept home, so clean, comfortable and cosy. And what a beautiful garden (or should we rather call it a park?) you have! We loved sitting there, gazing into the woods, sleeping on the hammock, walking around enjoying all the different kind of lovely trees you have. It's such a relaxing place! You've thought of every single detail which has made our holiday so special. Fresh friut on arrival, tomatoes from Aldo's garden (the most delicious ones we've ever eaten in our lives!), toys for our children, lovely lavender smelling rooms etc etc. We definitely want to come back and enjoy more of this place which is truly unique! Thank you so much for everything!!
love, Örpen, Patrick, Tess and Lilou - Netherlands (August 2010)


Ciao Maria!
I wanted to email you and say thank you so very much for such a lovely stay in your home. Your villa and property were beautiful and it was the perfect location for us to relax for a week.
Aldo ( housekeeper) was great. I hope we left everything in order. We tried to leave everything just as we found it. Mille grazie, Joy B. - USA (July 2008)


Dear Maria,
we enjoyed the tuscan region and all its offerings your residence was comfortable and relaxing, and made our visit oven more enjoyable.
A little different (we live next to the beach) and little the same (we have italian friends at home).
