Testimonial: "Your great gift is to facilitate a feeling of intimacy with the people, the land and the history - even for total strangers. We can never forget the sights you showed us and the local folk you introduced us to; meeting the grand dame of local wine during our late evening walk on the cobblestones of an ancient hill top village ... and the many other local rhythms of the area that you shared. Around every corner was another discovery ... In the company of Ugo it always feels that we were the first to ever discover these riches ourselves." - Oliver Schofield. More tributes ...
