“We’re back from our stay in Il Cerro and I wanted to email you to let you know what a delightful time we had there. Thank you for recommending the villa to us. It was spot on and absolutely perfect for all our needs. Riccardo was very accommodating and helpful, and we felt very well looked after during our stay. The swimming pool was a favourite for the whole family and we really appreciated how well maintained everything was there. The kitchen was well equipped, as you said, and Riccardo installed a microwave oven as promised. I recall you saying when we were shortlisting villas, that we might prefer Il Cerro because there weren’t too many apartments there, and therefore would have a cosier, less corporate feel. I am so glad we went with your suggestion because we felt that the number of people there was exactly right – not too busy and not too empty. We met a lovely German family there, and parents and children were equally pleased to have new friends to share the experience with. We were all invited to Orciatico for a guided wine degustation at the Gualandi wine cellar (Riccardo’s father was the guide), and followed that with a delicious supper at the La Mangiatoia. We were very happy with the location of the villa. Like you said, everywhere one looked, there was an amazing view. I came home with my head stuck in the Tuscan clouds, dreaming of those earthy brown hills and the twinkling lights of Volterra in the darkness. It took me a good week to sink back into the reality of London, but there are still random images of Cypress trees silhoutted against that particular shade of blue sky flashing through my mind’s eye two weeks on… Thank you once again for being the agents of a very memorable holiday.”
