I have been meaning to share my thoughts on our recent vacation in Tuscany, but as usual, work got in the way.My wife and I are fairly experienced travelers, with trips to England, Scotland, France, Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland. That said, no trip is ever completely perfect. On this trip we failed to convert enough U.S. dollars to Euros, for example. But any imperfect experience was quickly whisked away once we cross through the gates of our villa. Even with all the day trips to neighboring small towns, the villa quickly became my sanctuary, often sitting under the pergola looking over the acres of olive groves while sipping a martini.Leonardo and Andrea were great hosts, but I must offer an additional comment about Leonardo; I am currently fighting not one, but two cancers. I’ve had procedures that made me uncomfortable about traveling abroad. I reached out to Leonardo as we were approaching our final cancellation opportunity. I explained that I wouldn’t know if I could make the trip until about a week past this date. Leornardo not only extended the cancellation date, but offered very touching words of comfort that could only have come from the heart. Obviously we felt comfortable enough to make the trip and not surprisingly, it was truly magical. There are no ratings high enough when speaking of Leonardo and of course, Andrea.Thank you for the trip of a lifetime and I hope to see you again in the not too distant future.BDYE
