Borgo Bellavista was a magic place and we thoroughly enjoyed our week there . J 2008
Thank you so much for a truely magical stay in Italy. We all
fell in love with your beautiful house- so full of atmosphere
and charm. Your vegetables were delicious and so was the bread.
Our time here has passed too quickly and we hope to return.
All the boys wanted to stay on! Thanks for a lovely stay- fantastic
house and a wonderful lifestyle. I'm sure we'll be back.
Lovely place- much interesting wildlife, gorgeous views and a
wonderful pool. We are much rested.
We had a wonderful time at Cerretella, the house was really lovely exactly what we were looking for. JT, 2009
We just wanted to let you know that we had an excellent holiday, the villa was superb and as you quite rightly said, furnished & equipped to a very high standard.
Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you, but we just returned from the Adriatic side of Italy where we finished up our honeymoon. We truly enjoyed your home and plan on coming back every year around the same time. Hope that's fine with you.
Your home was spotless and so well presented.
Thank You!!!!

Fabulous house - feels like a real home rather than a rental property. We were excited by the sightings of a porcupine on the track down from the road. EC
Thank you very much, we have had a fabulous time. We have left a few more books to add to your wonderful collection. H
We are back in South Africa after a wonderful stay in Cortona and Tuscany. We enjoyed Cortona tremendously and walked all the little streets and steps. We even found Villa di Bramasole of the famous "Under the Tuscan Sun". Our appartment was excellent! It was wonderful to just walk out from the front door into Via Nazionale. The appartment is very well equipped and spacious and neat at an excellent price - real value for money!! We hope to visit Cortona again in the future and will definately contact you again.
Just wanted to say the apartment in Cortona was fantastic. Beautifully furnished and so centrally located. New Years eve in the town square was the best I have had, and my son enjoyed the experience of letting off fireworks, something which is banned in Australia.
I could not imagine a better location in Tuscany, although I did make a flying visit to Spello where I stayed last time. PR
I just wanted to thank you for leading us to the apartment in Cortona. It was absolutely wonderful and we enjoyed our stay there tremendously!

Mirko and his family have made us most welcome at Casa Primula. The house is well-euipped. Set up in the hills, the house provides a "proprieta privata" with its own swimming pool and beautiful views over the ruined castle of Pierle and the surrounding valleys........Lounging by the pool or in the garden round the house, there is always sun and invariably a slight breeze to take away the intense heat.

The house is in a stunning position and was pretty well
equipped we thought - we were particularly impressed with the standard of
the linen. FC, 2007
We've thoroughly enjoyed our time here in the Umbria/Tuscany hills. The file on local restaurants and villages was very helpful......The girls have loved the pool and we have discovered the woods and the houses up and beyond our house. We loved being here and hope to come back.

Great house, beautiful area, friendly people and delicious local wine ! See you again Mirko !

It was a delightful week with near perfect weather.
Casa Primula was lovely and had everything we needed. We used the outside wood oven to create our own pizza's and focaccia bread which went down a storm! And Mirko and his brother made a fantastic meal on our final night. All-in-all, a great success.
We had a lovely holiday and were really pleased with the house and pool area especially.We had expected to travel out every day but ended up staying put most days.
We all enjoyed the wine tasting evening with Martin -what a great place and the food was terrific
hope to return to Italy soon, C 2008
> We just got back to our home in Toronto from our trip to Italy. We wanted to send you a note to let you know how utterly charmed we were with Tuscany/Umbria and with our little “villa”, Casa Trabalza. Our week in Tuscany was the favourite part of our trip. The house was beautiful and comfortable and the views spectacular. It’s hard to beat having morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening while looking at a castle in ruins framed by olive trees and vineyards. (We had perfect weather!) After the high energy of Rome, the quiet and friendly feeling of Mercatale were most welcome.

> Marcello and his family were delightful and very friendly, yet respectful of our privacy. On our first day they gave us pork sandwiches which were simply delicious. Our only regret is that we don’t know much Italian so we couldn’t communicate much with them. When we return (we do hope to) we will be a bit more fluent, we hope!
>
> Also, many thanks for your excellent recommendations of things to do and places to eat. We took many of your excellent restaurant suggestions and each one seemed better than the last. We especially liked Mimmi’s for its delicious food and friendly atmosphere.
>
> Thank you again for your help in arranging our trip and for offering such a special place for us to stay. We will be spreading the word to our friends here in Toronto, and we certainly will return to Italy soon as we feel we’ve only just had a taste.

Our stay at Casa Trabalza was most enjoyable. The property is beautiful - very relaxing! Grazie!
C&LC.
We absolutely loved Casa Trabalza and Pierle - what an idyllic spot with such wonderful views! We would like to rebook for next year too,
Thank you for the privilege of being able to stay in such a beautiful house in such a wonderful area. I was there for only one week, but I so enjoyed my stay. It was wonderful. I could not believe that I have lived until 71 and not known the delights of Tuscany. I find it very difficult to get the house out of my mind, it was such a wonderful experience, not many holidays leave me with memories like these. S, 2008
We had a wonderful holiday. The villa was really lovely and ideal for 3 couples as we all had our own space. The views were quite fantastic, especially first thing in the morning and at twilight!
