What guets say about Vasciano Nove
“We were so happy to be back at Vasciano. Even more beautiful than before and we were so impressed by the landscaping; the pool and basically complete transformation of the garden” Mezey Aug 2006
“What a fantastic week we had at Vasciano, thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. It was so good to see for ourselves this place that my parents have been waxing lyrical about for years now – and to realise that they are absolutely spot on when they say how special it is.” Jones. May 2006
“The two weeks here have been bliss. The extra files at Vasciano …..guiding us to some great places. We had some lovely lazy days in your fantastic pool and creating meals in your well equipped kitchen. Possibly our best family holiday ever.”
Guest. July 2005
“There is so much to recommend Vasciano Nove, the stone floors, the shutters, the endless nooks and crannies, the view, the garden the library ….” Kennedy. June 2005
Absolutely delightful, pure heaven … hardly left the peace and tranquillity of the house and garden. We will be back”. Canney. Sept 04
“What a fantastic part of the world you live in and a wonderful home – we will be back next year. I absolutely love this place with a passion” Crane. Sept 04
