Dear Amy,
Just to let you know, we had a fabulous holiday and the chalet was perfect. Thank you for the groceries, they were much appreciated upon arrival. Skiing was fantastic and most importantly the girls loved it. I would like to reserve the chalet for a similar time next year. If anybody else approaches you could I please have 1st choice. Once again thank you and I hope we left everything in order for your next guests.
Regards
Louise C.
I'm finally getting my feet back under me after the European trip. I can't tell you how much we enjoyed the Dolomites and using your house as a base was a big part of the experience. Thank you for making your house available; I have no doubt that I would like to use it again. Take care,
Brent B.
