Dear Editor

I would like to thank you for the wonderful opportunity and marketing exposure that your recently published article on Botsebotse Bush Retreat has afforded us. We are thrilled that we were selected for inclusion on the Simon and Baker website by your discerning review team. We enjoyed hosting your team (Elena del Valle and Gary Cox) thoroughly and appreciated their professional, kind, relaxed and considerate approach as they went about their work. The article that has since been published is the end result of flawless attention to detail, represents a true and accurate description of our establishment and we are proud to be associated with Simon and Baker and the end product that was published. Once again, thank you very much for the opportunity to have worked with your highly professional and dedicated team and we are looking forward to working with you again in future.

Best regards

Dear Editor,

I wish to express my congratulations on the article that Josette King recently wrote on our estate in southern Tuscany, Camporsevoli and on her inclusion in it of our Florence based company, One Step Closer. The article not only is well written and meditated but it gives interesting facts and points of view that I have seldom – if ever – seen underlined in other similar writings. And quite honestly I myself never expressed the love and appreciation for what we have with such lovely words! The photos that Josette took are also beautifully ad professionally taken, showing the all-round capacities of this surprising woman.

Moreover, it was a pleasure to get to meet and spend time with Josette: her travel experiences and conversation are fascinating and I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to meet such a valuable person.

Overall, the contacts with all staff and management at Simon and Baker have always been more than pleasant, beyond the call of professionalism, efficient and clear.

Lastly, on the behalf of my fellow Tuscans, I wish to thank Simon and Baker and Ms. King for publishing such flattering words in general on Tuscany and – here too – such useful and well researched information. I am sure it will be a huge asset to our travel industry, geared at a level of traveler that lately has been scarce.

With many kind regards,

Valentina Grossi Orzalesi

I have to say that in the time I have worked with Simon and Baker, I have enjoyed the flawless, precise and educated emails enquiring about my hospitality clients here in Southern/East Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands. One can clearly see that the Simon & Baker team go to great lengths to research each and every property in order to afford their readers a well informed opinion on the same. The Simon & Baker team are simply a pleasure to work with!

We found the Simon & Baker journalists that we hosted at Grande Provence Heritage Wine Estate in 2007 to be informed about the property prior to their arrival, showing that they had indeed researched thoroughly. They were a pleasure to host, professional and truly interested to learn more, taking a hands on approach and interviewing our Executive Chef.

Simon & Baker reviewed our restaurant at Le Quartier Français, The Tasting Room, in November 2007. Their site rates very highly on search engines and is considered a top review site for luxury travel consumers.

Working with Simon and Baker was a very positive experience for our office. Everyone that we were in contact with was very professional and expresses a great enthusiasm for travel and the travel industry. Working with the knowledgeable staff at Simon and Baker is a great opportunity to gain exposure in an increasingly web driven marketplace.

Simon and Baker Travel Review have been instrumental to the success of marketing our property. They are an incredibly professional organization and well respected within the travel profession. We enjoy our partnership with them and it’s been a win-win situation since the start or our relationship together.
