Stunning. Not only is the house amazing, but the beautiful cakes and treats were such a wonderful gift to all of us Isabella created something energetically magnificent for al of us- she is so selfless. Isabella went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. From the moment we arrived we were stunned with her generosity and we have to mention: the glory of all her homemade gluten-free cakes! We felt the holiday spirit all around us! Her thoughtful restaurant recommendations, her willingness to help us with all of the personal issues that arose- we thoroughly enjoyed her welcoming space and her gracious attitude.
Our emergency experience required a doctor and hospitalization. Isabella got in touch with a private home doctor for 100 euro who came immediately to the house to do a full physical exam and blood workup for an hour to help keep an eye on my husbands condition. We had housekeeping service daily so that we could keep up with our work and focus on my husband recovering.
We absolutely loved the house, the architecture inside and outside is very special. The trolley system is so useful and so beautiful- Lombard in SF really was crafted after this very special area of Milano. Lastly, it was wonderful to have good beds, no lumps, space, extra pillows and extra blankets (even an extra duvet for the couch) and a fully organized kitchen, lovely kitchen table and dinning table ( not some crappy 90’s wear) and having the house so central to everything that we needed: 24 hour pharmacy, gluten free bakery etc. The park is beautiful to walk through to get to the Duomo, and the neighborhood is very quiet with a gorgeous oval roundabout in the center near the Arch. Truly a fantastic and special neighborhood and our love for the people of Italy grows with every trip. We wish the rest of the world treated each other with such generosity. kindness and compassion and genuine love for the life we are all so very lucky to have. Isabelle is probably one of the most beautiful Italians we have met. Her soul is glowing from the inside out and matches her glowing smiling exterior. We are lucky to now call her “friend” and look forward to her stunning smile in the years to come. What a gift we were given by her. She made Christmas for us, and that is not something anyone would ever would dream to expect from a host!
