Guest comments
We loved our stay in your beautifully restored castle house. The house was well equipped, tastefully furnished and decorated and it was a pleasure to wake up to the lovely views beyond the castle walls. The area was full of interesting places to visit, we particularly like Anghiari and Arezzo. But the best thing of all was the warm welcome and generous hospitality of Mario and his family. Thank you! The Holt Family, North of England 07/31/07 (email available) Dear Mario and Louise The Castle at Pianettole was charming; rustic full of history at the top of a hill. Encased within battlements, idyllic setting with lovely homely grounds. Made to feel most welcome by the owners, sampling the local garden produce and fresh hens eggs and of course local wine. A delight! Best wishes, Trudie Taylor-Pak and Marge Ankara / Los Angeles (emails available)
