you will too. |

Here are a few of the people who will
most likely be helping you arrange your perfect holiday.
In the world of impersonal cyberspace, we feel that
a face can go a long way towards building trust and
personal rapport in our dealings.
Throughout the site you will also
find little snippets by us about what we do and why.
However, if there is something you want to know that
you don't find here, just ask. On every page is a "contact
us" button to ensure that you find it easy to communicate
with us.
We also understand how important direct
and personal contact is. If you would like to call and
speak to one of us for any reason at all we can be reached
between the hours of 9.30 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. Italian
time. (That is before 4.30 p.m. GMT (London) or 11.30
a.m. EST (New York) in the office; Tel: + 39 0577 630
257 office.
Because of the difficulty with time
changes and in case we’re all out at lunch, you
can also call after 8.00 a.m. and before 9.00 p.m. (21.00)
and reach Manola by cell phone +39 338 8835238. When you have made your booking, you will have
this number in case of an emergency during your stay.

Here is a low down of who we are:
Director, Marketing and Promotion-
Manola Croci
 “I
was born and raised in Tuscany in a small village of
600 people on a hill where the wind never stops. It
is so welcome in the summer when it relieves us from
the hot Tuscan sun, but it's not a pleasure in the winter
when it becomes the freezing Tramontana wind that blows
down from the Siberian plains.
My mother was born in the Valdichiana
where everything is very tranquil and she hates the
continuous hairdo disturbing quality of our breezy village.
However I'm so used to, that I love it on my face when
it is just a slow breeze and even when it shows all
its power. It is as if it gives me energy and wherever
I am, when it arrives, I feel I'm home.
I started working for in Tuscany by
chance and now it has become a part of my life.I love
my work because there is always something new and different
happening .
Liaising between our clients and the
property owners constantly brings me in touch with new
and different people from all over the world. “
Web Master - Paolo Lazzari
 I
have always lived in Castelmuzio, a little village of
250 souls immersed in the green hills of Tuscany.
I love football. I play for a local
team and that is what I prefer doing in my spare time.
Paolo is the silent force behind InTuscany,
he is the one that makes sure our web site always works
smoothly and is easy for you to use. He manages all
the electronic and technical systems that keep InTuscany
ticking over and makes every one else’s jobs ten
times easier. Whether programming new pages, driving
the search engines or overhauling links and problems,
with out Paolo InTuscany would quickly grind to a halt.
Technical Director –
Roberto Bartalini
 “I
love living in Tuscany and most of all I love showing
other people the things I love about Tuscany. My home
is so full of wonderful secrets and magical moments.
There’s nothing I like better than sharing this
with others and seeing their delighted smiles !”
Roberto is our licensed travel agent.
He squares things away with the bureau of Commerce and
the government bodies. Roberto comes down to our offices
twice a week to make sure that we are following the
rules and generally help out with the orchestration
of the buisness.
Programmer - Ivaylo Gardev
“I was born and live in Bulgaria. Thanks to internet
I could work for intuscany.net from the comfort of my
home.
My activities are related to making
the work in the agency more effective and pleasant by
using the potential of the information technologies.
My major contribution is an information system for the
agency. Among its functionalities are managing the information
about reservations, properties, owners, guests; facilitating
the communication with the guests, creating reports.
I am also responsible for the dynamic
part of the web site - functionalities for reviews,
search properties, availability, etc...
In addition to the programming I am
also interested in philosophy, cognitive science and
artificial intelligence.
It is a pleasure for me to be a member
of this team.”
