Natasha and Natasha from Lubljana

Here the postcard of 2 fizzy girls from Lubljana, Slovenia: Natasha and Natasha. They were very curious to discover Tuscany and to enjoy the best of it. Besides museums and art galleries, they enjoyed most open market in country villages, full of local people and good bargain. Every morning they re-adjust their itinerary depending on were the market was! During our girlish chatting I asked how they met and they surprised me a lot: ” At belly dance classes!!”. I thought it was a joke and asked for a proof. It arrived by mail as you can see. A nice note was also on the card:

“Dear Laura, we wish you the happiest birthday and lots of presents. We had more than a great time in Toscana and in your cool place so this card reminds you of us! Thank you for your advices (especially the ones on where to go to the nearest market…). See you, a big hug from Natasha and Natasha”

Guy and Janine

For their first travel to Italy, Janine and Guy prefered to follow the suggestions of their friends who stayed at Ancora del Chianti last year: Pierre and Nicole. They came with another couple from Belgium and they could share the pleasure of visiting and enjoying life in Chianti. This is their farewell message.

“Nous sommes encore sous le charme du très agréable séjour passé avec nos amis dans votre chambres d’hôtes. L’accueil spontané et chaleureux de Laura nous a tout de suite séduit. Nicole et Pierre avaient bien raison ; ce petit coin de la Toscane respire le bonheur. Guy et moi-même tenons à vous remercier pour nous avoir concocter un très agréable séjour. Nous reviendrons assurément. Nous vous souhaitons un bel été. Très cordialement, Janine et Guy”

Recommended by dear neighbours in Belgium, Philippe and Janine arrive to Ancora del Chianti with another couple. They spend here a few days combining visits to Florence and Siena with relaxing countryside. This is a note they send us when back home: “Entouré par ses vignes et ses oliviers, Ancora del Chianti est un endroit magique plein de charme, à l’image de sa souriante et très efficace hotesse. Nous y avons passé un adorable séjour dont nous nous souviendrons longtemps. Merci encor Philippe et Janine “
