Andy and Susan along with Liz and Bob want to say what a wonderful week we had in Tuscany . The great views from the window in the bedroom, the 360° view from the balcony, the breezes.. all perfect. Explored many small hilltop towns along with Florence , Siena and San Gimignano. Enjoyed buying food at the local stores. Had coffee every morning in a new place. Ate fabulous food… We enjoyed the apartment and the feeling of having experienced a little of ‘real Italy ’ here. Thank you… USA
