ITALY:
The Italian experience is just that, an escape, an adventure, a search for culture. I prepared a simple meal in the neat kitchen, a loaf of bread, a slice of ham, a flagon of local wine consumed at leisure. The sun was high, the mood total contentment. The Pietrasanta adventure - Bridgewater style. I'll be back AND so will you!

Just a note to say how much we enjoyed our holiday. Pietrasanta is absolutely beautiful, and it was fantastic to sit in the main square and enjoy an Italian beer in the sun, with the view of the mountains in the distance, snow capped. The apartment was perfect and the 'patron' was very friendly. We did, fortunately, find the central heating an asset as it did cool down at night. Thanks for everything.
Andrew and Jackie Walker

Third visit to Pietrasanta, first with you. Tend to seek out good deals. Will be going again!

Mr. Gawlik. La Selva.

Late booking, last two weeks in August. Not much expected but it was VERY good!
Mr Jones. The Olive Mill.

We have just returned from staying at one of your villas in Tuscany (Chiara in Pietrasanta). It was fantastic! Many thanks for such a professional service, ranging from the ease of booking, prompt service, your friendly telephone reps, superb brochures and excellent information - especially the lady at the Pietrasanta office.
We will certainly recommend you to our friends and we hope to be back with you next year! Very, very impressive all round.
Paul and Anne Tandy. Villa Chiara.

The website was invaluable as it was a last minute booking and we had no brochure.
Mr. Haskett. Apt Ballatoio.

Well it just gets better as the years go on doesn't it? We've been back a few weeks now and it hasn't worn off yet. That must say something. Thanks for sorting us out a villa, it was brilliant. We were able to to re-visit all our old haunts and were not disappoimted in the slightest. It is as magical as we remembered and the villa was spot on.
David and Val Wilson. Villa Lombardi.

You may be interested yo note that i booked again for 2005 because, even though you were not the cheapest, i knew the quailty of your product having used you before. The lower prices elsewhere did tempt me but the quailty is more important in the long run.
Mr A German. Villa La Bruna.

This is a first class villa with a wonderful garden and pool in a stunning rural location - we loved every day we were there!
Richard Winter, Villa Il Poggiola.

Thank you for a very enjoyable holiday. The welcome pack was great - the wine too. The villa was very comfortable!
Mrs Marroni, Villa Gabriella.

Again, many thanks for yet another wonderful holiday - everything was perfect - villa, setting - not to mention the company!
Mr & Mrs Connolly, Villa Alessio.

What the papers say......

The autostrada between Pietrasanta and Lucca provide the key to a long unsolved problem - how to combine a beach holiday and within half an hour be in a different world altogether.
Roger Bray, London Evening Standard.

We tried a different restaurant each evening, going up into the hills behind Pietrasanta to a cheap rustic place one night, then along the coast about fifteen minute drive away to an elaborate restaurant overlooking the harbour with a very thirties atmosphere.
Adrianne Pielou, Mail on Sunday.

Pietrasanta is a region caught in a neat time warp preserving it's heritage with a semi-grateful nod in the direction of the twentieth century
Brian Whittle, Lancashire Life.

Our view of Marina di Pietrasanta.....A tranquil part of Italy with very few foreign tourists but plenty of stylish Italians. That's the impression we came away with, masses of style. It's not a cheap holiday and you do have to be an individual.
Travellers Check, Granada Television.

I first discovered Marina di Pietrasanta last July, a wonderful destination with something for everyone. Superb beaches with a mountain backdrop, tennis, golf, culture, history and art. But most important from my point of view - great Italian cuisine, uncommercialised cooking! Take only the best ingrediants, blend them with a large helping of Italian style and flair, serve in a relaxed, bustling atmosphere and savour the flavours of Italy. Bon Apetito!
