ear Paolo, This has been such a wanderful experience! Despite our late arrival we all felt this place is a special piece of heaven on earth. The villa & the surroundings so welcoming and the views of the hills added to the ambience.
We have enjoyed so many things, the friendliness of yourself and of neighbours who came to our rescue when we were lost! Our visit to Panzano to see the "mad butcher" Dario Cecchini remains a highlight and also the visit to Vinci & learning so much about Leonardo and his amazing foresight. Florence is such a beatiful city, steeped in history and makes us very envious of the incredible art nd architecture.

Our afternoons relaxing around the pool and in the gardens have re-energised us each day, ready for our next adventure.
The local towns of Cantagrillo and Casalguidi have much to offer, especially the friday market in Casalguidi will worth a visit. We leave here, sadly but with hearts full of special memories. Thank you so much for sharing your home & your own life experiences with us.
We will miss you Paolo, but we will meet you again somewhere that is certain! Our very best wishes, Diana x, Claudia, Bill xx (The aussie gang!!)
