“...a terrific time...”
Thanks so much for your email. Great to hear from you. We really had a terrific time and I’ve been meaning to email you and say how awesome Gianni was. He was so super nice and gave us great, personal service. Was SO impressed with him. A gem. I’ll try and put some other thoughts together – oh wow, that Nonno Tabia place was so great. The people there were so incredibly nice also – but I definitely wanted to say lots of good things about Gianni. He was incredible

“...the perfect combination...”
Marvellous time, food was great everywhere. Lodging exceeded our expectations (Maria’s agriturismo was tops!) Discovery at every turn, fantastic – what we went for. We’d define the trip more as “hiking” than “walking. No problems, just more hills than expected. Thanks again for a great time!
