"We can't wait to return to Casa Rossa. Our stay was perfect. Enjoyed touring Tuscany from this excellent location."

"Everything was better than expected. The stay at Casa San Vito was most enjoyable."
Carol & Nolan Blades
"Casa San Vito is fabulous, as was our entire trip (15 days). Even the weather was perfect, only turning cold the day we left. Francesco and his mother were most helpful. I will definitely recommend Casa San Vito and Casa Rossa. Your written materials were also great. We went to the MiniMart every morning for cappuccino and pastries and fell in love with Maria. One member of our group wants to move to Romita and become Maria's apprentice."
Carol Breckner
"My friends and I have just returned from our trip, which included a week at Casa San Vito. We had a wonderful time. The house was very spacious and comfortable, and the location was terrific for day trips to see Tuscany. We also managed to slow down for a couple of days and just enjoy the surroundings, including the grape harvest that was in full swing. Franca spoiled us with fresh-baked grape tart, extra coverlets and an extra hair dryer (when she realized we were 6 women renting.) The family was very accommodating, considering how busy they were. We were sorry to leave. Thanks for representing such a great spot in Tuscany!"
Laurie Pass
"We enjoyed our stay and we checked out several of the places you mentioned in the information you emailed."
Beatrice Storm
"We just spent 10 days at Casa San Vito and from the time we walked in the door at the house, we all fell in love with Tuscany. Francesco and Franca met us and our kitchen had fresh fruit, wine and olive oil. We picked fresh fruit every day. The first day we visited the market in Tavarnelle and stocked up with cheese, wine and all the wonderful Italian vegetables. The location was a great place to be able to visit all the hill towns. We were also privileged to be there during wine harvesting. The day before we left, Franca brought us a grape cake that she just baked, a cake they make special during the harvest season. Francesco visited a couple of times and he gave us a tour of the winery. The house had every modern convenience and we all plan to return for a longer visit in the near future."

"I'd like to thank you and also Miki and Franco for the great little Michaela apartment in Florence. It was such a short hop to all the major sights."

"We just wanted you to know that we had a totally fabulous time at Borgo Bucine last week. We also were fortunate to have lovely weather, and thoroughly enjoyed our daytrips to Pisa, Siena, Montepulciano, and Arrezzo. We also visited one of the local wineries, Poggio Molina (website is www.poggiomolina.it) whom the owners recommended. This was one of the highlights of our trip....the vineyards are gorgeous and the wine cellar and tasting room was beautiful. It's run by a local family, and they even sent us back with a gift of wine for recommending them (we bought two cases of red and one of white)."

"Just want to say thank you for helping us organize for the stay in Florence. We really enjoyed ourselves, and found Miki, Franco and Marco to be very nice and helpful! Your recommendations and instructions were very helpful, and we are very appreciative."

"We returned from Italy late Saturday night. I must tell you -- Borgo Bucine was spectacular. Your directions were terrific and the family was lovely. I got especially friendly with Antonella. My daughter fell in love with their dogs. So, thanks for hand picking a lovely villa for us. We had a wonderful and relaxing trip. Tuscany is a very special place. The Italian people--even more special. It can get unbearably hot in the summer. We may have hit an unusually hot spell, but it did put a damper on our enjoyment. We had several days of 95-100 degree weather. Brutal. If people have a choice, they should choose May or October. There were soooooo many tourists, it was crazy. When I travel, I like to spend time with the people who live in the area. Not people like me! Anyway, Antonella suggested three "tourist free" places for us that I loved. Thanks for great tips. Oh, we ate in a place that you recommended. I don't have the name right now but it was about a block away from the Piazza della Signoria. Wonderful food. NO TOURISTS!! Grazie"
