I just wanted to drop you a note. We just got back from Italy. We were very
happy with our accommodations in Rome and in Tuscany. At Casa San Vito we
enjoyed meeting the owner and his family. The house was perfect and of course
we loved Tuscany. I have told numerous people about your website and
recommended accommodations. Hopefully we can do it again sometime
perhaps in Paris. Thanks for the help. Peter Alizzeo Harwich, MA

Casa San Vito was beautiful, nestled in very scenic surroundings. Only 5 minutes
from the highway, we were able to travel to all the nearby areas (after we figured
out the road signs). The webpage doesn't do it justice; the villa was much nicer
in person. The rooms were large and clean, the villa was nicely decorated with
antique furniture, and the host was very friendly and helpful. The view was
outstanding!! Sara, Colorado, USA

We enjoyed our entire time in Italy, but we'd have to say that the time we
spent at Casa San Vita in Tuscany was our favorite! The Casa is perfectly
located for day trips to the amazing hill towns in the region. We loved our
morning coffee on the patio with those beautiful views and eating dinner in
the warm, cozy kitchen. It was a joy to come home in the evening, open the
shutters and let in the views and the fresh air! Francesco and Franca were
wonderful - we enjoyed our tour of the Cantina and their gifts of wine and
olive oil. The little grocery store in Romita was great - they have all of the
basics and were very friendly and helpful. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed
Casa San Vito and we hope to return for a longer visit! Joe & Barb Rosario,
Littleton, Colorado

We found the location of Casa San Vito perfect for exploring Tuscany and
beyond. The house was just as described, and Francesco and his family were
very welcoming. It was very nice to come back to the peace and quiet of the
villa after a day of sightseeing, yet we had wonderful access to the major
roads for daytrips. We enjoyed going for walks right from the villa's door,
which offered more of the amazing views also available in every direction
from the villa itself. The villa was very clean and the kitchen was well
equipped. We had no problem with the size of the refrigerator, and as we
traveled with 2 small children, we certainly made use of it. The warm pastries
at the mini-market in Romita are not to be missed. Michelle & Tim, Kennett
Square, PA

WOW! Casa San Vito is a beautiful and comfy farmhouse that allowed us and
my brother and sister-in-law to live a Tuscan lifetstyle that was filled with
lots of laughter, wine and great food. To be able to pick fresh figs, apples,
basil and rosemary right outside our door was super, and the views from
every room was spectacular! Franca and family were wonderful to us, and
made us feel right at home. We have used Italy Perfect before and they are
simply PERFECT! Darrell & Sue Howlett, Vancouver, B.C. Canada

What a wonderful trip we had & Casa San Vito was a highlight. It so far exceeded
our expectations and was clearly the best value of our grip. The villa was
beautiful, charming, comfortable & spotless. The setting was right of "Under the
Tuscan Sun". Pat Gillotti & family, Redding, CT

We had a great time in Italy. We loved Tuscany. Casa San Vito was wonderful.
The various family members there were friendly and helpful. It couldn't have
been better -- well, maybe, if it hadn't rained so much. But that didn't slow
us down. Our bottom line is that Claire and I would love to go back for
another stay at San Vito. We cooked at home most nights and enjoyed living
like the Italian families in the area. Thanks for setting this up for us. If you
want to use us as a referral for someone to talk with about the Casa, we'd be
glad to do that. John Rubin, Oakland, CA

It was a lovely house in a lovely setting. We so enjoyed our stay. Francesco &
his mother Franca who greeted us were absolutely charming. I wanted to tell
you what a great time we had at Casa San Vito. The place was perfect, neat,
clean, and had every amenity we could want. Even your EXCEEDINGLY
THOROUGH directions. Instructions were really great, especially for the how-
to-get-there directions. We would definitely stay there again. I hope we get
the opportunity. Chip & Chris Marcin, Lakewood, Colorado

San Vito was in the perfect location, close enough to Florence and the
surrounding countryside. We loved the place, and would recommend it to
anyone. As you had mentioned, Francesco and his family are very warm and
friendly and welcoming. We even had a chance to help at the olive harvest,
including taking the olives to the processing plant, seeing how the oil is made,
and having our very own bottle of olive oil on our table the very next evening.

We really enjoyed our time at Casa San Vito, making day trips into Firenze and all
the other spots we wanted to see. The home was pretty much as we
expected/described on the website. We felt the location was ideal. Even
Pisa/Livorno were no more than 90 minute drives. Our weather was ideal, but in
August, that's expected. As all other guests have remarked, the hosts are
fabulous people... everything was great. Bob Shaw, Calgary, Alberta

Casa San Vito was a highlight of our family's Italy vacation. The house is just
as it is described on the website and it is a great value. We enjoyed getting to
visit with Francesco and his parents who were extremely gracious and
generous. The location is great for side trips: We went to Pisa, Viareggio
(beach town), Carrara (marble quarries), San Gimignano, Siena, Volterra, and
several Chianti wine towns. You can take a bus into Florence from a nearby
village and avoid the hassle of driving in the city, a huge plus. Hanging out at
the house and relaxing is equally enjoyable. The nearby town of San Casciano
is a handy base for groceries, restaurants and shopping. We prepared dinner
at home several nights, and had some great meals in the nearby restaurants.
Our week and a half at San Vito exceeded our expectations. We'd love to
return. Mary Louise, David and Stuart Hopson, Dallas, Texas

We had a great time in Italy and the Villa was a treat. It was perfect home
base for us and in such a beautiful area. Also, Francesco and his family are
wonderful. They were so kind and helpful even when we could hardly
communicate with words they were very patient as well. In fact the people
throughout Italy were amazing. It was really a fun vacation and we saw as
much as was humanly possible in our little time there. I think one of my
favorite days though was the last day on the way home from San Gimignano
when we decided to just stop by Certaldo. It wasn't in any of our travel books
and yet what a great old town that really didn't seem to be so focused
towards tourists. That was a wonderful way to end our Tuscan stay. And
thank you for your helpful hints. The restaurants you recommended were all
fantastic. Teresa & RJ Devick, Maple Grove, Minnesota

Casa San Vito is fabulous, as was our entire trip (15 days). Even the weather was
perfect, only turning cold the day we left. Francesco and his mother were most
helpful. I will definitely recommend Casa San Vito and Casa Rossa. Your written
materials were also great. We went to the MiniMart every morning for
cappuccino and pastries and fell in love with Maria. One member of our group
wants to move to Romita and become Maria's apprentice. Carol Breckner,

My friends and I have just returned from our trip, which included a week at
Casa San Vito. We had a wonderful time. The house was very spacious and
comfortable, and the location was terrific for day trips to see Tuscany. We
also managed to slow down for a couple of days and just enjoy the
surroundings, including the grape harvest that was in full swing. Franca
spoiled us with fresh-baked grape tart, extra coverlets and an extra hair
dryer (when she realized we were 6 women renting.) The family was very
accommodating, considering how busy they were. We were sorry to leave.
Thanks for representing such a great spot in Tuscany! Laurie Pass, Boston,

We just spent 10 days at Casa San Vito and from the time we walked in the
door at the house, we all fell in love with Tuscany. Francesco and Franca met
us and our kitchen had fresh fruit, wine and olive oil. We picked fresh fruit
every day. The first day we visited the market in Tavarnelle and stocked up
with cheese, wine and all the wonderful Italian vegetables. The location was a
great place to be able to visit all the hill towns. We were also privileged to be
there during wine harvesting. The day before we left, Franca brought us a
grape cake that she just baked, a cake they make special during the harvest
season. Francesco visited a couple of times and he gave us a tour of the
winery. The house had every modern convenience and we all plan to return
for a longer visit in the near future. Bob and Sandra Thompson, Carol Zenow
and Amy Fogo, Clinton Township, Michigan

We just returned home from a fabulous two weeks in Italy. Casa San Vito was
perfect. Its location was great for our sightseeing excursions and its ambiance
was perfect for the end of the day wind down. The information you provide was
extremely helpful. Thanks again for all your help. Jim & Melanie Williams,

The house & view, as you know, are just amazing. We went to Florence twice,
Siena, Pisa etc. But my favorite part of the trip was always coming home to
the villa. Probably unlike most people we ate in the villa every night. My
daughter is a vegetarian, my son is a kid who won't eat anything so it's hard
for us to go out to eat at the many fine places we saw. That was ok for me.
It's rare that I get to sit down to dinner with my whole family, so as I said
coming back to the villa was my favorite part. We would put the Italian TV on
sometime & watch Lord of the Rings in Italian, but mostly they read or played
cards at night as I would go thru my next day's guidebooks. Getting home at
night around 7:00 every night just wasn't early enough for me. I was always
trying to get back to the villa earlier. The views were great. Saw a couple
beautiful sunsets from our windows. Went for a couple short walks down the
gravel roads. I loved the thick walls, the cool tile floors, & I loved opening the
shutters every morning. What beautiful views - from all four side of the
house & that fresh smell. It was a big house yet very homey & comfortable.

| We, together with 2 other couples, have just returned from spending a marvelous holiday at Casa San Vito in late October 2005. We could not have asked for more perfect accommodations while in Tuscany! The casa was equipped with every modern convenience we could ask for and our hosts, Francesco, Franca and Giulio were so welcoming! We were able to take day trips to Siena, Florence, San Gimignano and Montelupo; the restaurants and COOP markets in Tavarnelle and San Casciano were ideal! We especially enjoyed watching Francesco harvesting the olives from the surrounding grove one weekend. We look forward to returning to this delightful haven! |

We all had a great time. The villa was very clean, with modern appliances and
the location was perfect to explore the hill towns of Tuscany. Francesco was a

villa to all our friends. Jon Pellechia, New York, New York

When we started planning our trip to Italy, I was thrilled to find out about Lisa Byrne and ItalyPerfect. One look at the website and I knew Casa San Vito was the perfect place for us to spend a week in Tuscany. Lisa was always responsive and available for any questions I had. The information packet Lisa provided includes a wealth of information as far as driving directions, tourist information, shopping, restaurants, etc. I kept the packet with me at all times, and even though we have been home for two weeks, I keep going back to look at it and think about things we will do on our next trip to Italy. Our next trip to Italy will start with ItalyPerfect. Kevin, Claudia & Madeleine Burr, San Jose, California
