Our hosts could not have done enough for us. When I was going to cancel as we had an extra guest, Kate immediately went out and purchased a comfortable folding mattress so we could all be accommodated. They also allowed an early check in. The piece de resistance was being greeted by Giovanni the cleaner who gave a powerful operatic rendition of ‘O Sole Mio’. It was spine tingling. He informed us that he is a professional opera singer and used to sing with Placido Domingo and Andreas Bocelli!
