Dear Grace, thank you so much for putting your heart and soul into making such a memorable vacation happen for us to Tuscany & 5 Terre. I truly enjoyed all of it...from the seaside to the countryside to the city! Your selection of places, hotels, food, and activities was so perfect that I can't decide which was my favourite...the olive making? the vineyard and wine making? the leather school? our amazing guided tours? the opera? I will cherish these memories...I had my pictures developed the very next day and in an album to show to family and friends by day two...I was still so excited!! Gratitude to you from the bottom of my heart for giving such love to ensuring that each and everyone of us enjoyed the experience you created! I think the photos say it all! Linda "Limoncello"

Hi Grace, I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful time we had in Italy with you on your Vita Bella to Tuscany & Cinque Terre. I know you poured your heart and soul in the planning and it most definitely paid off. I just think how can she top the last trip but boy do you ever. Your attention to each and every one of us is so greatly appreciated. You know how to make each one of us feel special and loved. All the places and people we met were fantastic. My favourite had to be Gino Vino. What a beautiful man. His love of life and his land and the passion for what he does was truly a blessing to witness. I could really feel the love we each experienced. I was so impressed with all the guides you had, they were very knowledgeable and so full of energy and enthusiasm . It was so great to see people who really enjoyed what they did. I must say the food was outstanding. I still think about the wonderful meals we had and shared with another. Each meal was so special. The choices you made were top notch. So we gained a few pounds, I would do it all over again....and again... and again.......We can't wait until 2012. Grace, you are amazing and I couldn't imagine going to Italy without you.......thank you for the amazing adventure and the opportunity to meet so many great people. You truly have the knack for bringing so many together and each one of us getting along so great. It felt as if we had known each other forever! thank you Grace for all that you do.....Isabella & John Bisanti, Toronto

Dear Grace: I have lived and worked around the world over the years ... But your Vita Bella Retreat to Sicily has had a real impact on me. I feel lighter, more passionate about myself and my life and everything and everyone around me, perhaps I have had an "epiphany" of sorts. I am dreaming I am still there. I feel alive and connected to myself. Thank you so much. Barb D. Kingston.
Dear Grace: I get goosebumps when I reflect on what was the MOST FANTASTIC FAIRYTALE HOLIDAY for me--Your Vita Bella trip to the Amalfi Coast! Grace you exceeded my expectations in every way. You created a stress-free holiday by planning it in elegance and style with the utmost care to detail. There were so many highlights and moments of pure srendipity: fireworks at midnight, the stunning sunset after Ravello, journaling on our Walk of the Gods close to heaven and so much more...Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I look forward to my next adventure with you. Pat Johnson "Pasqualina", Ontario
Dear Grace: I will never forget how the people of Sicily opened their hearts to us on our special day. Meeting the other travellers on your tour who will be in our hearts forever, it was truly an extraordinary vacation way beyond our expectations. Grace we will never forget your many loving gestures, all the extras, your planning an incredible trip for us, the beautiful things we saw, the great meals we enjoyed together and all the laughter...we can't wait to do another one of your trips!

Dear Grace: I have dreamed of a 'romantic' trip to Italy with my husband for many years. Your Vita Bella Vacation Retreat to the Amalfi Coast allowed us to relax knowing that you speak Italian and that you had all the details covered. We enjoyed every moment Grace. We also appreciated the extra added touches, and the relationship exercises--they added to our romantic trip allowing us to share more deeply than we ever had and enhanced our feelings for each other. We will be coming with you to Sicily next year! Thank you Grace for everything! Bonnie & Bill Demers, Edmonton, Alta.
