In our eagerness, we missed the driveway of Casa San Ruffino, which is set down from the road. on the edge of a truly wondrous panoramic viewpoint. In asking directions, we met the neighbors.

Does Casa San Ruffino need a 49th rave review? No. Is it warranted? Yes, and then some. There are moments in life that fall under the rubric of "as good as it gets." That describes our four days at Casa San Ruffino. It is exquisite and spotless but more importantly suffused with the nuanced thoughtfulness of owners Ray and Claire.... More
