An amazing experience at an unusual time of year. My family and I spent new year with Nicola and his family at their extremely comfortable villa near the Unesco town of Alberobello. It happened to snow the biggest snowstorm in 30 years and we were blocked and isolated for 2 days before we were liberated from the snow. In the meantime we spent the best new year's eve with Nicola and his family. Very rarely have we been lucky enough to meet such wonderful and generous people who shared all they had with us in the crisis of the snowstorm. The house was perfect, the hosts have become friends. I wouldn't miss the chance of meeting the Dongiovanni family and having an opportunity of staying at their villa in one of the most beautiful areas of Italy for the world especially for anyone willing to discover the old traditional values of real Italian hospitality.
