I'm at a loss for words as I write this review. No amount of adjectives will suffice to describe how lovely and resourceful this family is. I want to emphasize to everyone reading this review that you will not only have an enjoyable time in Italy, but you will also meet a lovable and welcoming family. I can state emphatically that the sum charged is insignificant compared to the treatment my friends and I received from Renate and her family. In reality, this is pro gratis work.
