Testimonials

Just brief note to say that we had a fabulous time. The Villa was perfect for our occasion, made all the more special by the artistic character of Paolo and Anna and their outdoor theatre and garden sculptures. The food prepared by Maria was so exceptional that my son has decided to find an Italian girl to marry...so long as she can cook like Maria. We are encouraging him in this endeavour.
All the best
Dolf Kohnhorst.

What a beautiful restored home!
We enjoy our stay and we want to take Maria home with us, she was a delight, our best to you and your family!
We will be back!

Villa Aretina is the perfect spot to sit and meditate the place for loosing all are's cares but not for loosing weight.
We know Maria was a star The moment that we meet her, our first impression was confirmed on meeting her bruschetta.
Wine followed wine , course followed course. But nothing than Maria cooked for us surpassed the pasta.
But now we must leave, its garden, its gattini.
We leave with grateful thanks to La Famiglia
Tim and Chris Watson,

We truly enjoyed your home, your hospitality your traditions and especially welcoming us into your family. We hope we will be able to return the favour in the future. We will never forget the unique Italian food that Maria prepared for us. Her meals are the essence of Tuscany!
It was also so wonderful to return home after our busy days of exploration.
Thank you for giving two families the opportunity to fulfil a dream of spending time together in Italy.
The Millers The Coiro's
