Safari Notes - Internet Testimonials:

Former guests claim that the villa culinary vacation is the best holiday that they have ever had, and there is no better way to immerse yourself into the Italian culture, gourmet food and exceptional wines of the region.

Richard M. Toronto, Ontario, October 2004
…The experience was terrific and above our expectation. I know I speak for everyone who was in our group. First class all the way!!!!

Marg V. & Greg D., North Vancouver B.C, September 2004
…Everything was FANTASTIC, WONDERFUL, FABULOUS. From the first class accommodation, wonderful meals (oh my gawd we loved the turkey with chili peppers), generous and warm hospitality shown by staff, it was truly remarkable. I also appreciated you organizing a fan for my room, which was waiting for me upon arrival.

Judy & Dave H., Waterloo, Ontario, May 2004
This holiday was one of our best holidays! The Villa and the tours were great but the staff made the holiday very special.
