I was referred by a friend and came here with high expectations that were exceeded in every way. Our room was cleverly laid out and spacious with 2 tubs and 2 showers. I enjoyed the massive grounds in general and the amenities were spectacular. To top it all off the food and bar scene we’re almost serene. It’s a definite one of a kind experience, but this will not be my last visit and my thanks to a wonderful staff, it makes all the difference.

Leonardo was a wonderful guide for our day! We were able to see small town life in Italy without the tourist crowds. In fact, we were the only tourist at almost every place we stopped. Leonardo was so knowledgeable and shared so much information with us throughout the drive and at all the stops. The highlight for me was the stop at a farm to make cheese and eat an amazing lunch, and the highlight for my husband was a stop to see ruins and an amphitheater (a small town colosseum), which we were able to wild down into and explore. I would HIGHLY recommend this trip!
