Picturesque scenery of the Dolomites and access to magnificent peaks that are not suitable for skiing due to their steep or rugged terrain, but are accessible by snowshoeing... Undoubtedly, one of the best travel experiences ever. (more)Maja Knezevic

Perfect! This was an excellent holiday in every way. Marina and Gianluca were excellent hosts and made us feel very much at home in this beautiful setting. They have planned a varied and interesting programme so that cooking sessions are interspersed with enjoyable visits and activities but there is also plenty of time to relax and spend time in their garden and beautiful pool. And the food and wine were absolutely delicious and plentiful. It was great to see our efforts at chopping and mixing ... (more)Marilyn Richardson

The most memorable part of the holiday was the whale watching trip and seeing flying fish... The marine biologists enjoyed sharing their knowledge. (more)Lyn Acton
I think the way the island deals with the wildlife is excellent. The boats are not allowed out in overwhelming numbers and keep a safe and respectful distance from the animals. The marine biologists are very knowledgeable and I think it gave the travellers a great respect for the sea and the wildlife. 10/10 it was fantastic! (more)freya woods
