What our guests think ...
12. Jim, Sue Chris and Alex (August 2006)
We
have had a super week here at Casa Marginetta
despite the weather being a bit mixed with some
fantastic thunderstorms!
We
enjoyed Pisa, Florence, Lucca, Bagni di Lucca
and the surrounding countryside and have found
lots more places to visit on future holidays!
The
food has been wonderful - especially our visits
to 'La Fonte' and 'La Tana' - Tirimisu won't be
the same from Sainsbury's!
Thanks!

Callies"

Scenery,
views, mountains, rivers ... all breathtaking!
We've
had a FABULOUS week at Casa Marginetta.
The
local restaurants have provided us with a
wonderful array of 'gastronomic delights'.
Lucca,
Firenze and Pisa were all quite amazing!
The
last time I climbed the 'leaning tower', I was
only seven years old ... I'm 46 now and it
seemed so much harder this time, but certainly
worth it. I'm glad it's still standing!
The
villa is wonderful ... we had a great holiday
and we would certainly come back to visit
Tuscany again!
Ciao
for now!
Zep,
Max, June and Barry.

Two wonderful
weeks!
Two weeks of
eating Tuscan delights and ascending the steps
back to Casa Marginetta have left us with the
legs of Paula Radcliffe and the upper body of
Geoff Capes!
We used a
guide provided by Daniela (La Fonte) on the
Garfagnana region.
The 'Grotta
del Vento' three hour tour was a wonder ... and
the drive there was better than anything at
Alton Towers!
Barga is an
interesting small town twinned with East
Lothian. You can buy 'Scotts Porrage Oats', 'MacEwans
Export' and all sorts of Scottish food
completely out of character with the area!
Two wonderful
spots are Mount Argegna and Orecchiella Park.
Both have good picnic facilities.
It goes
without saying that Pisa, Florence and Lucca
are truly fabulous. We found that using the
trains was the best way to visit all of them.
Back to
England tomorrow ... over-eaten, over-wined,
over-monumented, and over-sceneried.
Two wonderful
weeks!

Lisa, James and Rufus (September 2007)
This little
break was planned all very last minute, but
Steve and Trudi couldn't have been more
helpful!
Flying from
our local airport we found that we were in
Tuscany quicker than we could have driven to
London!
Even after a
couple of hiccups (locking passports in safe
and not reading gas bottle instructions) they
were so accommodating and took it all in very
good humour!
And what a
magical spot this is!
We managed to
fit in a day at the beach where Rufus had his
first swim in the sea (he's only six months
old) and the drive up to Abetone was
breathtaking!
Needless to
say, we never had a bad meal - Daniela at 'La
Fonte' and her husband Leonardo were lovely -
"Happy 25th Anniversary!".
We certainly
don't want to leave, we can't wait to return.
Thank you so
much!
Lisa, James
and Rufus
