Dear Grace: "I have dreamed of a 'romantic' trip to Italy with my husband for many years.. My husband felt hesitant about Italy not knowing the language and all. 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. I was excited for the opportunity to travel to new places, and share many interesting experiences together as a couple all while meeting new people. Our small group shared laughter and learning about one another as we savoured new foods in beautiful restaurants... We loved the group excursions... They were beautiful and rich with history that we enjoyed discussing. I can't believe how stunningly beautiful the Amalfi region is--there is beauty everywhere, both natural beauty from the sunshine, ocean, and plants and from the Italian culture's love of art and their churches, beautiful marble intricate carvings, and of course, the amazing cuisine. 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. The words "couple's retreat" worried my husband at first (he's a very private man). So you can imagine how surprised I was at the end of our trip when he announced: "O.K. Bonnie, I will declare my love for you in public just as long as we get to travel with Grace again. We will be coming with you to Sicily next year! Thank you Grace for everything!" Bonnie & Bill Demers, Edmonton, Alta.
