"Marina, Our stay at your Tuscany country home for nearly 30 nights exceeded our expectations! Bravo. We stayed June 10 to July 8, 2023 and will never forget your 25-acre property with its vineyard, vegetable garden and immaculate swimming pool. When you prepared my daughter Maddy and I a country pasta dinner unasked on our first night, I knew we were in good hands with you as a gracious host. Maddy's partner Sarah joined us a few weeks later, as did others. This was an emotional trip. Before she departed in 2020, my wife Tracy and I had vowed to each other to rent a big home in the Tuscany hills and invite friends and family to stay with us. Now that vow is kept, with such sweet memories. With its six comfy bedrooms and four baths, the tastefully renovated Salceta stone house easily accommodated the 11 people who came and went over our stay, each visiting for short periods. We all enjoyed Marina's wines made from vines grown on the property, and her olive oil. Her event suggestions were perfect. Excellent local winery visits resulted. She even arranged a pasta cooking class at the house where we humbly helped the expert cooking crew create a scrumptious lunch for a reasonable extra fee that included many courses and wines. Day trips to ancient Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Arezzo, Cortona, Poppi and elsewhere thrilled our adventurous hearts. Don't be shy to ask Marina for travel tips! This was the trip of many lifetimes. Thank you, Marina! Mike and Maddy"
