Dear Elizabeth
Just a quick e mail to say how much we enjoyed our stay in your house. The situation is truly stunning and we never ceased to be enthralled by the amazing view. Your house was a continuous subject of discussion and admiration at your attention to detail and sympathetic restoration. It all contributed to a truly memorable holiday. Thank you also for all the very useful information- we made good use of it.
Now we have to readjust to everyday life which is difficult despite the good weather here.
Kind Regards
Christine

Having spent a wonderful week in your house and after a safe and uneventful fast trip back to Munich (under 8 hours driving..) we are now enjoying (mild/cold weather) in Munich and want to once more tell you, how wonderful Pergolaccio is (as if you wouldnt know)
Ulla and I think it is a wonderful place to let the soul swing (if that translates well from German die Seele baumeln lassen), especially because going places is a bit inconvenient and thus one is almost forced to sit on the patio and enjoy the view of green ridges and terracotta-colors house on the near horizon or enjoy the warm hues of your masterful plaster-mix on the inside walls.
That plus the delicious cherries and the herbs from your garden to give a salad the right touch are already worth the time and the effort of going there.
Enough praise for the time being WE ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE and well be back, hopefully next time with a chance to meet you in person.
All best wishes de Monaco di Baviera a Roma

Elizabeth-
Just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. We had a lovely holiday in Italy, greatly due to our accommodations in Umbria. We watched a slide show of photos last night, and we all became sad when we looked at the photos of the view from the terrace. We really did not want to leave.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to stay in your little piece of paradise. We hope to return some day.
Fondly-
Tracy, Ian, Hallie and Luke

Elizabeth - just a note to let you know how much we loved your house in Todi - it welcomed us on a beautiful day and we settled in as though it were our own. We cooked, read, swam, and totally relaxed. Many trips into the countryside which is gorgeous - on pilgrimages to Orvieto and Assisi and various eating spots. Did discover Visani which was our last lunch - 4 hours - and while we mortgaged the house to do it, found it splendid. Also went up the hill to an equally spectacular restaurant for another splendid and less pretentious lunch. It was a glorious vacation and your house, ambiance, view and wonderful fresh vegetables and figs and grapes was the best part. 3 of the 4 of us are cooks and thoroughly enjoyed your wonderful kitchen - truly a cook's kitchen.

Elizabeth!
I'm just settling back here at work, wading through the zillion emails that
have piled up, and thinking how relaxed I was just a few days ago. Everything
was wonderful -- from our lazy breakfasts to the late nights drinking wine
around the kitchen table, nibbling on wonderful leftover pizza. We also enjoyed
cooking those fantastic artichokes and fava beans from your garden. The weather
turned cool the last two days, but we spent them alternately relaxing with
books and shopping. It's such a luxury to get your whole family in one place
and really spend time together -- especially now that my sons are so much older
and off on their own. My father painted some lovely watercolors and I took so
many naps I never even finished the one book I brought to read! And, to top it
all off, Dominick only called in to check on work once!
I've already recommended your home to a slew of people. You're so lucky to have
such a wonderful retreat to enjoy time and time again.
Thanks again for talking me into it! Best, Liz

We loved your house and everything about it, Its style and comfort, We were so impressed with all your creative and marvelous touches. The architectual imagination that went into remodeling the house was very evident. The landscaping, . all the beautiful roses, lavender and everything you are able to grow made me so envious. Our country house garden in northwest Conn, is pitiful compared to the wonderful one you have created. The kitchen is a joy. Your library was great! We appreciated all the creature comforts provided by the house.
With best regards. Fay Ennis (for the Ennis and Olcott families)
