Arriving to San Marco D'Alunzio, tired after a long journey, is like entering an oasis of tranquility which immediately washes al your worries and all the fatigue away. One of the main reasons for it are the town's inhabitants and their welcoming nature and kindness. The two best examples of it are our hosts Daniela and Gaetano.
Gaetano waited for us in the town centre and then escorted us to their house. It is located a couple of minutes on foot from the town centre and it has a parking place. The apartment was big and beautiful. It has an antique feel to it, it is very charming, comfortable, spacious and cozy, and has a wonderful view overlooking the sea and also a balcony. What surprised us and thrilled us was the Tiramisu that Daniela made, waiting in the fridge with a sign "Benvenuti" on it. It really filled our hearts (and stomachs) with joy!
Gaetano was amazing, recommending the places where we could eat and telling us what to visit. We wouldn't want to leave until we met Daniela and finally we did (we were lucky because she works two jobs). She greeted us with hugs and kisses like old friends, which was beautiful.
Whoever does not believe in love at first sight, still hasn't met Daniela and Gaetano. Meeting them was the most beautiful part of our visit to San Marco. It felt like we found two long lost members of our family. Thank you Daniela and Gaetano!
