  Testimonials

  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 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 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! Lorna & George Novak, Ontario

  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.

  Grace is retiring these Retreats to Italy after 2011.
