April 2011
Sertorelli Sport Hotel in Cervinia

All I can say is we LOVED the hotel – we were treated like kings and queens. The food was consistently superb and the staff were excellent and very attentive. Nothing was too much trouble.

The courtesy ski bus was brilliant and the guy doing it was like a personal valet. He got to the stage of being at the top of the lift stairs as we came down. Very nice and very helpful.

All in all fabulous and we would certainly go there again and would definitely go with your company

Thank you very much, Karen

Hotel de Champoluc in Champoluc

I will "echo" Vanita's comments below. We had a fabulous ski holiday.

Hotel: Convenient location next to ski lift. The choice of food was great despite our dietary requirements.

Services: Transfers (as usual) punctual and practical, i.e hassle-free. Great administration from your part (ski passes, equipment hire, guidance, etc).

The Echo Travel "personal touch": Greeting on arrival and half-day ski lesson (well a bit more than that!) included.

Easy guess as to who we will be contacting for next year's ski holiday!

Hotel la Rouja in Champoluc

Thank you very much for organising the most enjoyable and hassle free skiing holiday all of us have had.

The transfers where a joy, the hotel was very comfortable, friendly, served great food and had the most remarkable shower I have ever seen.

The skiing was superb, I don’t know of anywhere else with so many long, interesting and empty runs.

A perfect holiday, we will be back, hopefully!

Regards Patrick

Hotel Villa Novecento in Courmayeur

We had a great day with Giorgio and such fantastic conditions throughout our trip I don't know how you managed to organize that!!

We really enjoyed Courmayeur again and we will definitely be back, the hotel worked out very well and we would recommend it, everyone was very helpful and friendly and the shuttle service worked perfectly every time.

Only one complaint.... that our time went so quickly and wished we'd booked longer....

Thanks again for your excellent service. Hope to see you soon.

Kind regards Sue

From initial contact Ruth at Echo Travel looked after us extremely well. The Guided Day with Giorgio really made a difference and helped us get the most that the skiing can offer.

The hotel staff were very helpful and the food and wine, excellent

All in all we had a wonderful time. Thank you!

What a great week!

Hope Giorgio didn't notice I was welling up when we gave him our very modest present but it was a great week and we learned so much.

Powder?  If you even smell it - phone us and we will be there...

Hotel Courmayeur in Courmayuer

Hi Guys

We really appreciated all of your arrangements and advice which worked very well and meant we really made the most of the 3 days we had.

You did a great job for us and I'm sure we'll be back (maybe with the boys??) and would recommend you to friends doing an Italian trip.

Thanks again Karen and Tony

Hotel Cristallo in Alagna

We had a wonderful time, even the weather was kind to us, we would highly recommend the hotel, service was first class as was the food and quality / cleanliness of our room.

Giorgio did an excellent job of showing us around which really helped in the short time we had to ski.

We believe you offer a professional, efficient and intimate service that catered exactly for our needs, well done and thanks!

Hotel Petit Tournalin in Champoluc

We had a wonderful four days in Champoluc and would love to visit again with our children. I don't think I could ever go back to the large French resorts again. I had never heard of Champoluc but there was plenty of ski-ing and no queues, empty slopes and plenty high enough for guaranteed snow. The hotel was lovely and the owners were very helpful. 

We LOVED Giorgio! It was great to have such an experienced instructor and guide thrown into the package.

I will be recommending Champoluc and your company to friends and thank you again for organising our enjoyable break.

Hi Ruth,

Again, many thanks for a fantastic trip. I have asked everyone to give feedback (both positive and negative) about the trip, but only positive came back!  People are generally very satisfied with the trip, the easy commute, the hotel, the food, the area, the swift ski rental, the nice weather and you two!

Best Regards,

Dear Ruth and Giorgio,

Thank-you for your help with arranging our holiday over new year. The hotel l'aiglon in champoluc was perfect for our needs. The boy's enjoyed their off piste ski-ing in Alagna with Giorgio and we enjoyed our ski-ing in Champoluc. We will be sure to recommend you to our friends and will hopefully see you next year.

Regards Jayne Richard and boys.

Le Grand Chalet in Courmayeur

Dear Giorgio and Ruth,
The holiday was so successful on every level - the children have become confident skiers, Gary had a great time and even I managed to enjoy the skiing once I relaxed a little (Giorgio's patience and wry good humour were the key to this)!

The accomodation was perfect and the location was ideal, so near to the cable car and the town centre. Thanks so much for once again enabling us to have such a wonderful family holiday.

We have been on a lot of supposedly top-end ski holidays in the past to Val D'Isere, Meribel, etc.
Philippa and I are in agreement that this was our favourite ski holiday by a long way.
Very relaxing.  Perfect resort for our family. Good accommodation.  Attentive and thoughtful service from you and Giorgio.
Thanks again.

Hotel de Champoluc in Champoluc

We had a very enjoyable week in Champoluc - thanks to your great oganisational skills & a brilliant crowd of people.  I thought the hotel was very good - the food was excellent.
What a gorgeous place it is to spend a holiday - I have just looked on the webcam & I can see you have had the snow dump that was forecast for yesterday - it looks wonderful! 
The boys really enjoyed their skiing with Giorgio, he's brilliant with them.
Lots of love,

Hotel Aiglon in Champoluc

Dear Ruth & Giorgio
It was a holiday that we will not forget, it was fantastic, your welcome and assistance made a big difference to us.  Graham who has done a lot of skiing said it simply didn’t get any better than Champoluc.  We were also very grateful for Giorgio's patience and excellent ski tuition we all improved significantly.  I would certainly recommend Echo Travel to others.
All our travel arrangements ran perfectly and it was a good experience all round. The little touches made a big difference, helping us with ski hire fitting etc, involving us in the larger group race and picnic and recommendations on places to eat, all much appreciated.
Saluti!

Dear Ruth and Giorgio,
We had a great holiday – thank you.  If you could just arrange for Isaac not to have a cold and to sleep through the night next time, that’d be perfect!

Hotel Relais des Glaciers in Champoluc

We had a great time thanks Ruth,
The return journey worked out fine too, we were back home by 2pm.
We’d definitely do it again, we loved the skiing, and really like the idea of the heliskiing with Giorgio.
We look forward to the photos and also any future developments you may have.
Your customer care is second to none and you have a great ‘USP’.
Thanks again to you both.

We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend your company to family and friends - I know David has already got another weekend lined up with his family.
The organising was made much easier by your availability on email, as this can often be a challenge with a group booking.
Thanks again for a wonderful time
Sarah (Group Organiser 2009)

Thanks again for a great holiday - the most fun skiing I've ever had. Pity the karaoke in the evenings wasn't more in tune...

Antico Porto in Genoa

Genoa is truly a remarkable city and thankfully (selfishly) not as widely known to visitors as it should be. We had the galleries almost to ourselves! Your information was very helpful and complimented our own research. Well done! The hotel was brilliantly located being close to everything that mattered.
We had a great time and thanks again for your help.
All the best

Hotel Cenobio dei Dogi in Camogli & Castello di Razzano in Piedmont

Thank you for organising our visit to Liguria and Asti.
The location of the hotel in Camogli was fabulous and there is so much to see and do in the area!
We had never experienced anything quite like the Palio and the processions in Asti.
Your local information helped us a lot, and the suggested restaurants were outstanding.
Best wishes,
Shirley

Hotel le Torri in the Langhe & Hotel Cenobio dei Dogi in Camogli

I thoroughly enjoyed my holiday in Italy and was very impressed by the accommodation.  Hotel le Torri was comfortable and had a relaxed homely atmosphere.  The staff were all very friendly and helpful, as were the staff at Cenobio dei Dogi.
I was also very impressed by the personal service I received from your local staff at Echo travel and found the information provided very helpful. I would certainly consider using your services in the future.

Hotel Due Roccoli close to Lake Iseo, Milan, Hotel Cenobio dei Dogi in Camogli

Hello again Ruth,
You may remember us from last year?
We certainly remember Echo Travel as you looked after us royally last summer when we spent ten days touring from Lago d'Iseo, to Milan and finally, to Camogli.  From start (our initial telephone enquiry) to finish (your resolution of our driving fine!) we simply could not have wished for a higher level of service.  Subsequently, whenever we plan to travel to Italy again, we will come to you for advice, guidance and, where appropriate, to actually book our trip?! 
With kind regards,
Jak
