We first became aware of Borgo di Vagli when we were lucky enough to be invited to stay as the guests of Mark’s brother Roy and his wife Judith. We visited on several occasions and not surprisingly fell in love with the countryside, architecture, art, food and wine and the local people. When the opportunity arose to buy into fractional ownership we were very happy to buy into this and become joint owners with Judith and Roy.

And the winner of this months Owner’s photo competition goes to Harald Kobbe, Bergen, Norway.
