I am writing to say how much we enjoyed our visit to Podere Le Monache. As soon as the road from the airport began to rise up into the foothills we realized that it was going to be a special holiday and on arriving at the farmhouse our expectations were entirely fulfilled. We have many memories of cool bedrooms, a secluded patio, a delightful swimming pool above which flew butterflies and swallows and the wonderful views.I could continue in great lengths to say how much we enjoyed our holiday.

Thank you so much for a marvellous holiday at Podere Le Monache! It seems worlds away from our busy lives here, if not this summer, we will be back soon!!

I thought that I must just write to you to express my family's appreciation for the use of Settefrati in Tuscany. Settefrati was as good as you described it and we had a most enjoyable holiday there. Thank you

We all enjoyed our stay this year just as much, if not more, than last year, and would like if possible to take it for three weeks next year. Thank you for all you did to make our holiday and for all the arrangements. Elisabetta and her family are so nice and it's a wonderful part of Italy to stay in , we love it!

I just wanted to drop you a brief line to thank you for organising such a fabulous Holiday, we had a lovely week as a family and then some friends came out the second week and it was heaven!!
Philippa Blair, Bath, UK

Your most helpful pre-vacation advice, together with the welcome extended by Elisabetta and her Husband, Rossano, made our holiday a really memorable family occasion. It all passed too quickly!

For all of us it was our first visit and we didn't really know what to expect, but it exceeded everything we could have hoped for. We love the apartment and the setting. It was so peaceful and refreshing to come back to on the days we spent in the heat and bustle of Florence and Siena. Now that we are back to work, the holiday seems like a dream! All in all, I think I speak for all of us in saying that it has to go down as one of the best holidays ever and we're looking forward to the next time. Thank you once again

I would just like to say how much we enjoyed staying at Podere Le Monache. It really was lovely accommodation and we all had terrific lumps in our throats when we left at the crack of dawn on Saturday. It really is the most delightful property in a wonderful setting and truly envy you. I would like to hope that I will get out to Italy again before too long and would love the opportunity of staying at your lovely property again.

I just wanted you to know how much we all enjoyed our stay at your beautiful place. There were no complaints from any in our group except those who did not get to stay the full two weeks.

Dear Liliana
We have just returned from our stay at Villa Bottai and I have to write to thank you for a wonderful stay! The place is beautiful and so relaxing - and yet so convenient to Florence. We would love to enquire about your other properties for another and longer visit to Italy, I am sure we will be in touch. Grazie
