client comment Rosemary a client from Australia We loved La Vigna, and Montebuoni in general. We felt that we couldn't have found anywhere that we would have liked more for our holiday. The peace and quiet was fantastic! La Vigna was particularly nice in that being tucked away, there is not a lot of 'passing traffic' on the gravel. We're pretty sociable people, but it was nice to be tucked away. The views are stunning. It is simply idyllic. The house is lovely and ideal for our needs - clean, spacious and with all modern comforts and a lovely private garden. Montebuoni is wonderfully quiet and peaceful - a real haven away from our usual noisy London existence! At the end of our journey it was heaven to arrive there. The facilities are great - the pool is lovely and the hamlet is safe for children. You can meet other guests but have privacy at the same time. The wine-tasting is a lovely experience and again children are welcome.

Wine tasting Tour What were the highlights of your holiday? Getting away from it all, yet being well situated to explore the Chianti area - all the places we wanted to see such as Siena, San Gimignano and Castellina are easily accessible. We went to the Wednesday wine tasting which was great fun. Daniela was great, and we met some really nice people. We got together again for a drink by the pool on the Friday evening! Highlights: The wonderful hill towns of the area and the great food and provisions. The weather was beautiful the whole two weeks except one day. Can't complain about that. We went to the wednesday wine and food tasting and it was very special. The wines and olive oil and the food prepared were excellent. We met some very nice people and stuck up friendships that, I am sure, will last a long time. Unpleasant surprises: None

Cookery school at local restaurant In response to your question as to what we did or did not like about your service, I will respond by telling you that not only have we decided to return to Montebuoni for a month next summer, but we are bringing as many as 6 couples with us. I have referred them all to your web site. I can't thank you enough for all of the suggestions offered through your web site and the info book in allowing us to put together our own itinerary. In spite of your good directions, we have decided to purchase a GPS which I'm certain will add hours to our trip. Unless you are able to speed read at the intersections, I would advise this purchase to anyone traveling in Italy. The cooking class with Simone at Malborghetto was a delight. I haven't done anything like that before but am reluctant to share my pleasure for fear that when I return, there won't be room for me. The computers at the office were helpful in letting us stay in touch with family and friends
