We came across Borgo di Vagli around 18 months ago when we were searching the Internet for timeshare properties in Italy. At that time, we didn’t know anything about Fractional Ownership, which seemed to be much more flexible than traditional timeshare.

And the winner is… Michael Farver, Plantation Florida USA

In Michael’s own words. "Easter came early this year, and although I had photographed the Almond tree next to the Trattoria in the past when it began to bloom - when we arrived this time on March 24th, the cool and damp weather had kept most of the foliage in pre-spring slumber. But the weather turned that week, and under brilliant sunshine on Easter morning, April 1st, this blossom popped open in all it’s glory, and it’s new life and beauty brought joy to my heart.”
