Before choosing to submit my request for a 14-day stay at Priska's place I read most of the posted reviews, the large majority of which are stellar. Although I was confident that I would have found a pleasant place where to spend two full weeks, once my request was accepted, I still managed to be surprised by how lovely and truly rejeuvenating my sojourn would have been. Although I had to work for a good chunk of the time, which was possible thanks to the excellent wifi connectivity, I managed to genuinely unplug, remove from my mind all the anxiety that had been growing throughout this difficult year, mostly for the same reasons that everyone had experienced (the pandemic, the stress of working from home, the raging wildfires in the West of the US, the social unrest...). I could enjoy such peace and well-being not just because of the place itself, as described by many of the previous guests, but especially because of the welcoming kindness and generosity of Priska and her family, who made me feel at home. I hope I will have again an opportunity to be their guest in the future, when I need a little oasis of paradise in the pretty hilly hamlet of Montello and surrounding verdant countryside.
