I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful time we had at La Pietra. The villa was perfect for us—luxurious yet rustic and spacious, and we loved the fireplace and the well-appointed kitchen. We had some glorious sunsets and a lovely, romantic wedding in Cortona, and we were very sad to leave!

My friends are anxiously awaiting our arrival at La Quercia. For me it will feel like coming home. I so love that property as I do all of the Altabella properties.

We had a wonderful time in Casa Carina! You’ve done a beautiful job restoring it and we will always treasure our time in this idyllic setting.

Highlights for us were the pool, the sunsets, the dinners with Paola. We loved touring Assisi, Montalcino, Montepulciao, Siena, and Trevi.

We had a truly magical time in your beautiful villa. It was so special to finally spend a few days relaxing and exploring a place that is so highly regarded by our families.

Elizabeth, our travels with you to Tartufi Bianconi, the Busatti mill and shop and the basket factory were a big highlight of our week in Umbria, and lunch with you in Tuscany was icing on the cake. Your knowledge and love of Italy delighted us and we so appreciate the kindness you showed us that day.

We can’t thank you enough for your having taken such good care of us while we stayed at this bit of paradise. Your suggestions were superb, your book filled with fascinating information, and your ability to answer each and every question is unparalleled.

I knew when we arrived at that stunning place, to the long table beckoning us there in the kitchen, that it was going to be a special thing.

The house is fantastic—the architecture, the craftsmanship, the stonework, the gardens, the pool. It was extremely comfortable and we loved every minute there
