Massimo is a very considerate host, in that he has thought of everything a guest from another country might need and like.When I was there, nothing was too much trouble for him.....he left me notes and maps so I wouldn't get lost, we looked up information on the net, he took the time to converse with me and answer my questions about various topics re Italian lifestyle, culture and the way in which Italy has changed. He made the effort to correct my Italian and to look up words in the dictionaries to help me express myself better.
He offered to share a meal with him and he prepared a salad and cooked a fabulously simple, yet tasty pasta dish the first night arrived as he knew I was tired. To top all this off....he had prepared coffee in the caffettiera for me before he left for work, so all I had to do was turn on the stove. This is the epitome of consideration and what makes a remarkable host!
