Learning about Truffles in Tuscany
Truffle Hunting with dogs in Tuscany!
Tuscany offers incredible panoramas of vineyards, olive trees, tall Tuscan cypress tress and wonderful light in the countryside.  Staying in Tuscany is always one of my favorite things as I enjoy the intimate atmosphere of being with Italians who love the land and their culture.   During this trip I stayed near San Gimignano at a lovely "...

    Loire Valley through Tour of Chateaux and Wine
    Reviewed By Catkristy - Santa Clara, California | Traveled to Loire Valley ~ France ~ Europe
    Sharon recommended boutique hotels in prime locations in Paris. Our main destination was the Loire Valley for a week. We chose two bases to hang our hats, first in Luynes to cover west and then in Amboise to cover the east. We really wanted the experience to stay in chateaux and Sharon did not disappoint. In Luynes, we stayed at Chateau Domaine de Beauvois and this was the highlight! It was beautifully decorated with chandeliers throughout. One night we splurged for dinner at the chateau Restaurant Le Louis XIII , which was a Michelin restaurant. We were even given a private tour of the Chateau's extensive wine cave cellar. We next stayed at Le Choiseul in Amboise which was also very nice and we had a very nice dinner at their restaurant Le 56 which was also Michelin rated. Le Choiseul was in a prime location on the Loire with Chateau Amboise beautifully lit up at night. We thoroughly enjoyed our experiences of old world charm at the wonderful places Sharon chose for us!
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Seventieth Birthday Bash!
    Reviewed By I ?? Italy, - Hayward, California | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
    Sharon Oldham is the best! We put everything in her very capable hands. We told her where we would like to visit, how long in each area, and when we wanted to go. She took care of everything-airfare, hotels, train tickets, private transportation. Everything went so smoothly. All of our hotels were extraordinarily! Sharon contacted each hotel before we arrived and we were treated wonderfully. She checked in with us during the trip and answered any questions we had and was there to offer advise and/or suggestions.
    I have to say that because of Sharon Oldham, we had the time of our lives.
    I would highly recommend Sharon for any travel plans. She goes above and beyond.
    Sharon Oldham responded
    "Thank you so much for your kind remarks! It was such a pleasure for me to plan this with you! You are simply the best! Grazie!"

    Perfectly planned vacation
    Reviewed By Eileen - Warwick, Rhode Island | Traveled to Sicily ~ Italy ~ Europe
    Joining Sharon's small group of 10 women to explore Sicily was a great decision on my part. We circumvented the entire island and engaged in varied, interesting activities. Among the highlights for me were shopping in a local market and cooking a 4 course Italian meal, visiting an organic vineyard followed by a wonderful meal and wine tasting, and exploring many of the historic ruins. I don't usually read fiction about a place before I visit, but Sharon's suggestion of "The Leopard" by Guiseppe di Lampedusa was an great read and educational as well. To sum it up, the trip was varied, fun, educational ...... and always accompanied by great food and drink!
    Sharon Oldham responded
    "Eileen, I'm so happy you joined us on this adventure! Sicily is wildly exciting and it was terrific to share it with you! I so appreciate your kind remarks! Sharon"
    I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
