Arianna,
I wanted to pass on a thanks for everything that was put together.
We had an excellent time. I've already passed along the info about you to some others who were considering visiting Italy within the next year or so. In addition, I've included some of the pics that I took while I was down there. You're welcome to use them however you like. Once again, thanks.

Dear Arianna,

Thank you so much for planning our wonderful holiday.

We had an amazing time with all of you. The food, wine, and olive oil were to die for. The dinner at La Greppia was amazing and very romantic, definitely a great spot for the last evening in Tuscany . We learned so much and will take that experience with us wherever we go. Hope to see you again someday and tell everyone thank you.

Best Regards,

Marne and Harry, London

Hi Arianna,

its nice to hear from you. (…) we had an absolutely fantastic time there! Everybody we met was really friendly and generous, everything was just great and we really didnt' want to come back! The food was superb too, you Italians know how to eat nice food! You especially were great, organising it all and being there for some of the things we did was great and we really appreciated all the effort you made. We particularly enjoyed the cooking with Carla, and the quad biking with Chris. Can you pass on our thanks to both of them, they were great. Massimo, Guseppie and his son that did the wine tour at Fibbiano were really nice too and made us very welcome.

If you ever decide to come to the UK again then let us know, we'd love to have you stay for a bit and to show you some of the stuff we have around here. I know you've seen London already, but there is so much more to see here, and outside of london things are generally much calmer and the countryside is really beautiful here too.

Anyway, thanks again for everything you did for us and i hope to hear from you soon !

Simon.

Hi Arianna!

Our family had a such a memorable time at Il Selvino. We have you to thank for your amazing help and graciousness. We were also so lucky to have met and spent time with Alessandro, who is a truly great guy who loves taking care of his gorgeous farm and the guests who come there. We had one of our best meals ever the first night at Il Selvino and we were so lucky to have Arianna as our guide. We look forward to bringing friends back to his farm! Of course we will miss our mornings with Ester and our unforgettable cooking class with Marisa. The farm is an undeniably beautiful place but the people we met there make it a place we will certainly return to!

Thank you Arianna for helping to make it happen!

See you soon!

Dear Arianna

Dawn and I are very good, thank you for asking. How are you?

We very much enjoyed our time with you in Tuscany. We learned so much. We bought a mezzaluna and an oil can on the way home, and we have already made pappa al pomodoro once… but I forgot to remove the pepperocini, and it was very hot!! L I will try again tonight!

The winter is gone here also. There are flowers blooming also, and it is actually warmer here than it was in Tuscany. It rains here a lot too! We have opened the marmalade and ate some of it yesterday. It was delicious! Buonissimo! Unfortunately, the bread we ate it on was slightly flavored (we don’t have Tuscan bread here with no salt), so that interfered slightly with the flavor of the marmalade.

Take care, and I will write to you soon!
Arrivderci!

Hi Arianna,

Thank you so much for your hospitality. We had a fantastic time in Tuscany.
La Mia Toscana customized our vacation to our exact specifications without any hassle. The meal that we cooked in true Tuscan style was one of the most memorable meals we have ever had in our 7 years together. We have never tasted bruschetta like that before! The use of just-pressed olive oil and local garden ingredients made all the flavours come alive! Arianna, our tour guide, was incredible.
Her knowledge of the history, culture and food during the cooking lessons and the guided tour of the San Miniato Truffle festival made us feel like we received a true Italian experience. Her enthousiasme and love of her region was nothing but contagious. We spent most of last week just getting back to normal!

Thanks for a priceless experience,
Mike and Ayesha

This is Tony now, I enjoyed the cooking classes so much, and I thin I’ll take some Toscana home in the way I look at food.

Next time I come to Italy I’m going to practice with the mezzaluna so I perhaps can impress a cook or two.

Thank you so much for everything!

We will have these memories for a lifetime!

"Una delle vacanze più rilassanti dell'anno, trascorse in luogo da favola, di colori e profumi di primavera.

L'ospitalità dell'agriturismo è stata calorosa e le persone gentilissime. Anche i cioccolatini e i fiori freschi di giardino che abbiamo trovato in camera sono stati molto apprezzati!

Consiglio vivamente di appoggiarsi all'agenzia La Mia Toscana, sempre disponibile e pronta a soddisfare anche il cliente più esigente.

Grazie ancora e a presto! Emilyn e Raffaele"

Liebe Arianna,

uns geht es hervorragend. Wir haben den Urlaub sehr genossen und auch die Hunde, insbesondere Coco, hatten jede Menge Spaß. In der Zwischenzeit ist auch unser Garten zu Hause fertig, und da es sehr warm ist, können wir diesen nun auch genießen.

Vielleicht sehen wir uns ja Ende September / Anfang Oktober wieder. Wir hoffen, zur Weinlese noch einmal einen Wochentrip zu Fibbiano machen zu können. Ich habe mit einem befreundeten Ehepaar mit einem kleinen Sohn gesprochen, und vielleicht klappt es sogar dass sie auch mitkommen. Wir melden uns rechtzeitig.

Liebe Grüße, auch an die Familie von Guiseppe,
Sabine

Dear Arianna
Evviva! Thank you so much for all you have done to make our honeymoon an unforgettable experience. We could not have asked for more.
The house where we stayed is simply beautiful-comfortable, clean, surrounded by so much natural beauty, it is hard to know where to look.

It was quiet, private and smelled to wonderful. We really enjoyed swimming too!
The best part of the trip was meeting Marisa, Carla, Giandomenico, the folks at the cheese factory, and most of all, you! You are an extremely gracious hostess and made us feel right at home. You are so well-suited for your work!

Manuela, Bergamo, Italia

Complimenti per la particolare organizzazione del pacchetto “degustazione prodotti tipici”.

Saremo sicuramente di ritorno.
