Silvio
Thanks for another great holiday, yet again we really enjoyed it. We would like to rebook again for next year. We are looking at August 6th for 2 weeks and wandered if you had availability in the apartment Caminetto. If so could you give us a price for the weeks mentioned above. We promise to bring the girls back with us.
I think it was this week you have James and Phillipa staying please send our regards.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Neil, Jenny, Cathi and Sarah
Hi Silvio and Joy

We cannot wait to return to Podere La Castellina. If possible we would like to stay for one week from 26/05/07 to 02/06/07.

There will be 3 adults, myself, Hanna and Annabelle.

If possible we would like the first floor apartment (1 bedroom) in the main building - you will recall that you upgraded us last year to the 2 bedroom apartment which is next door to the one we had on our first holiday.

Please confirm if you are able to accommodate us this year and the cost. Thank you.
