Westtown Friends School, Class of '77 mini reunion
My group of 30 stayed at Villa Bocca in May for a week-long reunion among boarding school friends and loved it! The villa and its dependence were large enough to accommodate 14 couples, two kids and the bus driver comfortably. The large country-style kitchen is a dream and the large dining room allowed us to all eat together at one long table. The grounds are beautiful, the pool a delight, the furnishings beyond expectations. The family who owns the villa have decorated and equipped it with exquisite taste (and an amazing collection of art, history and travel books in English). The only problem we had was with the wifi. It wasn't working most of the time in the dependance and would come and go in the villa as well. Hopefully, they've fixed that.
Fiona was extremely helpful throughout. Quick responses and always very kind. I hope to be able to organize another gathering there in the future.
