Journal & Photo Diary

Welcome to the Journal Page. This is an ever-changing compilation of stories, photos, reviews and miscellaneous information. Elements have been contributed by past guests. Some are the result of questions frequently asked of me. A couple are provided to help you enjoy your stay more thoroughly (Cooking in Villa Maddalena). Feel free to send to me your anecdotes and stories and photos ~ anything that you would like to share with those who come after. For many of us Villa Maddalena is a very special place and Montisi a treasure. Sharing some of those glimpses and experiences is a way to perpetuate in the hands and minds of others, those special moments. Read on and enjoy!!
