June 2016

Dear Lori and James,

Hope that you are well.

As you will see from my Feedback, our holiday in Villa Francesca was most enjoyable.

It has been a wonderful holiday for all of us at Villa Francesca. Francesca herself, her parents, her friend Camilla and, last but not least, the housekeeper, Elena, have looked after us in an exceptional manner. The close proximity of the villa to the village was a real plus. All the locals were lovely people and we made friends with them. I can only be complimentary about our experience!
 

Of all the other villas that we have rented over the years, this was the only one where we had close contact with the owners and what wonderful people they are!

Francesca and her family are the loveliest people - any request we had was immediately responded to.

Ited over the years this was the only one where we had close contact with the owners and what wonderful people they are!

Thank you again and it will be my pleasure to recommend your agency to my friends.

The property was lovely and located in a most desirable area, allowing us time spent in wonderful nearby villages as well as the charming village of San Casciano de Bagni. The most outstanding and wonderful feature was the incredible owner, Francesca and her personal attention to us and our every need, as well as her family's involvement. Fabulous experience for both of us as well as our family! All I can say is that we both as well as our family were totally pleased and delighted with our stay at Villa Francesca!

Villa Francesca was a truly magical property. Perfect for our family gathering-which included 7 children, mostly teenagers. The pool and gardens were just right for them (and their parents!). The bedrooms were spacious, as were the bathrooms. Kitchen and other common rooms were extremely comfortable and well-appointed. The village of San Casciano was our favorite in all of Tuscany- no tourists, and very charming. The locals could not have been more friendly and welcoming. The food prepared by Rosanna and Francesca was absolutely perfect every night. The two of them were so easy to have around, and they fed us VERY well. Nuomi (sp?) set out a lovely breakfast each morning, and did a thorough job of cleaning the houses each day. We all agree that our week at Villa Francesca was the best part of our 18-day Italy vacation. For me, waking up each morning to the wonderful smells of lavender and rosemary wafting up from the gardens, and looking our over those beautiful Tuscan hills, is something I will never forget. It was easy to relax, and equally easy to get in the car and drive to one of the many interesting towns in the region. I wish I was there right now!
