Response from the owner Wow! Thank you so much Jennie for taking the time to review the townhouse and area in such detail, I'm sure my future guests will find it very useful! Delighted to hear the townhouse was equipped with everything you needed and you appreciated the extra touches around the house. Both clearly loving the whirlpool bath!! I'm pleased you experienced some of the local restaurants, we are very lucky in Pigna, the local cuisine is excellent! And well done on the hike! That certainly is a tough one but I guess that's what the hikers come for. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to welcome you back sometime so you can explore the Italian Riviera further. Glad to have been an inspiration for some new pillows! Best Wishes, Rachel.

Response from the owner Thank you so much Mark for taking the time to review our townhouse and for your flattering comments. I am so pleased you both loved our 5 star amenities and home comforts and that Kate in particular enjoyed the hot tub.

Response from the owner Thank you so much Stephen for taking the time to review our property in so much detail, I am delighted to hear you had a wonderful stay with us. We do try to go that extra mile for our guests by offering a few extras to make your stay a more enjoyable one and it's nice to know they are appreciated. A good nights sleep is very important especially when you are away from home, and a lot of thought was put into getting the beds and linen just right for our guests - I'm very pleased they were to your liking and you had a "great night sleep every night" and also that you liked the shower and whirlpool bath. It sounds like you did a lot of exploring during your time with us, visiting several surrounding medieval villages and sampling the local wine and cuisine. We are very lucky to have such an array of fabulous restaurants within a few miles radius and also within walking distance of the townhouse and I'm glad you enjoyed them especially Terme. It would be a pleasure to welcome you and your family back again to explore some more and I have to agree, Menton and Monaco are a great reason to return. Best Wishes, Rachel.
