Some comments from previous guests to Il Conventino

Joe and Carmela and family from Plainview, New York wrote: "Our family always wanted to visit Tuscany but we were unsure about the best way to plan the trip. We saw the Conventino site and began to email Elizabeth several months before we made our decision. Her patience with our questions and knowledge of the area convinced us to make the booking. It was the best travel decision our family ever made! We visited historic places and experienced ristorantes that we would never have found on our own. It was truly a unique experience and one we will never forget. We cannot say enough about the hospitality offered by Elizabeth and Stephen and we continue to recommend Conventino to all our friends and relatives."

Mary and Jerry from New York and Arizona, USA wrote: "Don't know how we got so lucky finding you but I know we couldn't have found two nicer hosts in a such a special place as yours. I dreamed of coming to Tuscany and seeing the pastoral sights but never did I expect to not only have seen them but to have found most probably the best spot. Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable... It's been so much fun. I'm sure I'll have many recommendations to friends and family. Won't be the last you'll hear from us!"

Noelleen and Michael from Sydney, Australia wrote: "We feel privileged to have stayed in such wonderful surroundings while exploring Tuscany. Your warmth and hospitality has helped make this an unforgettable experience and we hope to meet again at our upcoming reunion"
