After traveling for almost three months we found ourselves in Bologna. Gabriella's flat was the perfect place to recharge and her hosting made it 10 times better. She welcomed us with a bottle of Chardonnay, which was the perfect touch. When I asked about a market nearby she walked us there herself, helped us pick out the ingredients, and even gave us a mini cooking lesson for spaghetti alla carbonara, which turned out perfectly. But the best part was the homemade breakfast. My boyfriend was so excited he said it felt like Christmas morning every morning we were staying there because of the delicious treats she would send down. After spending ten minutes with Gabriella you can tell she is a genuine, kind-hearted, caring person who wants her guests to truly experience Bologna. We can't wait to return.
