Our family from San Diego + San Francisco Ca/USA have enjoyed a wonderful weeks here. The people in Umbria+Tuscany have been so friendly * gracious. we've seen many places we've only read about ...to this visit. Maria Luisa is so helpful and a marvelous host. So many places to visit, we will be coming back again to see more, as we only could visit some in our time here. Such a beautiful countryside. the food + wine....especially the ice-cream is so good!!! we did not have a simple meal anywhere that was not delicious.even the small family owned places in out-of-the-way locations. Ciao...on to rome + Pompei and then back to the USA. clark family this was my first visit........we saw Pisa Cortona, Montepulciano, Arezzo,Montevarchi (Prada outlet), Florence and Assisi. (I can't spell it, but I enjoyed it. The best part is that the land looks so much like California but has beautiful sunflower fields and lovely remains of the thousends of years of civilisation. we'll definetely beback, my fiancee loves it so much he wants to move here. Maria Luisa was so helpful & great, the swimming pool is gourgeous, and the house reminds me of the cabins we stayed in while camping in California in 70'S. We had a wonderful time- Love the truffles susanne Aaron... san Francisco, CA

Hi/ we all had a fantastic holiday here in Villa Miralaghi. We arrived when the weather was chilly+ a bit damp. The pool was freezeng!*. But it soon changed after a couple of days+ we enjoyed unbroken sunshine and temp of about 30°C. The pool soon warmed up to 22°. The pool area gave us a great deal of pleasure,peaceful,relaxing and a real chill out after the husse + bussle of UK! The Villa is great although rustic in places! The surrounding area is wonderful. we visited Chiusi,Paciano,Orvieto,Montepulciano,Lake Trasimeno and Rome in one day. (too ambitious): Paciano is fantastic. I want to live there,preferebly in a villa with a pool!we very much enjoyed early morning walks. the views are fantastic. If you like fishing go to the lake near the front gate. We caught and ate lots of fish, wich were boney but tasty! We nearly caught a huge one but it got away! Our host Maria was very helpful + full of useful informations. I would definetely recommend this villa to anyone who wants to get away from it all and hopefully we will return one day.

Cara Maria Luisa, grazie mille per tutti! We had a delightful vacation in Umbria. thanks to your wonderful generosity + hospitality. the memories that all four of us will take with us of our time at villa Miralaghi will stay with us for a lifetime-though we'd like to think that we'll be back again, hopefully soon. The exquisitely rustic, yet well appointed house and grounds made for an exceptionally confortable "home away from home" as we explored the region. The natural setting amongst the wild beauty of this undiscovered gem combined with the superb location has prowen(?) to be the ideal beginning to our families' Italian Odissey '07. we thank you again for all your efforts on our behalf during our stay in your confortable + welcoming country home. un caro saluto per tutti gli familgi, afettuosamente, Rodrigo, Cinzia, Kelsey + Connor
