it was such a joy to stay at nicola’s. the home couldn’t be in a better location and she certainly could not have been a more gracious host. while our interactions with nicola were few and far between (we felt like we had the entire place to ourselves), when we did she had recommendations for us or she had left us a snack of delicious cheese & crackers from the nearby market, or figs from her friend’s tree that were just-ripe. so yeah, it was pretty great!
