For a truly enchanting holiday in a Tuscany Villa with Planningatour.com.

Hi, my name is Samuele Sodini, owner of Villa al Boschiglia and Casale Sodini.

Yes, during all these years renting my villas I became also an advisor for my guests… and sometimes being an advisor makes my professional life unmanageable.

Being an advisor is one of the highlights of my job, I get energy from interacting with others. Being able to do that in a way that can sometimes make a positive difference in a traveler life makes it doubly enjoyable.

As advisor, I have a number of responsibilities to my advisees:

help in selecting what my guests has to don’t miss during their holiday in Tuscany
being available to listen and to give right suggestions
refer to my guests to appropriate resources when needed.

These are the generic things I do. But just as importantly, I try to be an advisor who cares. When I’m meeting with my guests and friends, they are the focus of my attention. As much as I can, I let the phone ring, I ask those interrupting to wait, and try to spend as much time as necessary to deal with any issues an advisee might have.

I don’t have a degree in advising or counseling. My advising expertise arises from my personality, my personal and professional experiences, the tours, and the reading I’ve done. I do the best I can to assist my guests. I also try to understand when a situation is beyond what I can do and when I need to refer someone for a higher level of assistance. And I’m certainly not a perfect advisor - I can only just keep trying to get better

When I do “good advising,” the reward is in seeing my guests happy to spend an un unforgettable holiday under the Tuscan sun!
