Our home for 2 wonderful weeks
Review Submitted: October 21, 2008
Date of Stay: September 2008
We arrived at La Torre after 3 noisy poor-sleeping nights in Rome, and immediately began to settle into the quiet, and peace. We were warmly welcomed by Sandra, Paul and Vaz and their assistance, guidance and availability, whatever the reason or time, were always appreciated.
We didn't venture really far afield, with Florence by train and a day in Sienna being the farthest we chose to go. We really wanted to get a full sense of the Arezzo region, and took our suggestions and directions from the guest books, Sandra and Paul, and James(our GPS). We were never disappointed. Having spent 1 week in Il Bacio and 1 in La Veduta, it was great to experience both, so completely different and both very charming in their own way. Unfortunately the weather didn't meet our expectations, so we never got to enjoy lounging by the pool, but did have the opportunity to sit on our patio at La Veduta a few times, and could count on an almost nightly visit from Vaz, one night even forgetting to send him home, and had Sandra at our door with a flashlight rounding up her boy.
We fell in love with the part of Tuscany that we explored, and look forward to returning in the not too distant future.
Thanks for everything, Sandra and Paul, from the smallest detail to the big picture.
Owner's Response: Thank you both so much for this generous review - glad to see you got home safely. Coming to get Vaz back at bedtime, that was a first! He really does know where he is welcomed but always knows not to overstep that mark of familiarity. The best bit, we didn't train him, he just worked it out for himself. It's not often we have guests go from one cottage to another in the same holiday and I am sorry we didn't have your first choice for two straight weeks. However, it is helpful to others' experiences and comparisons because we love them both, but like you said they are completely different. I'm sorry that Europe decided on a cooler snap while you were here, a first for us in six years.We look forward to when we meet again but until then, thank you and best wishes. Sandra & Paul
