Both hosts, Davide and Christina, convinced with their outstanding hospitality. Each morning started with an extraordinary breakfast (served at any requested time): Beside cornflakes, yoghurt, toasted bread, fresh milk and coffee, they provided still warm ricotta – traditionally made by the local shepherd in the early morning, freshly-squeezed orange juice – picked from an orange tree next door, self-made marmalade (flavours: orange, plum and my favourite fig) as well as homemade cakes and cookies (exceptional taste :-). Furthermore, Davide and Christina took care of any our needs and wishes: weather forecast, sightseeing tips , fresh water in our room, surrounding shopping locations (including personal guidance ;-) or a trip to the local shepherd to see how ricotta is made – no problem.

As we also decided to have dinner with them in most of the evenings, we were very delighted by their flexibility of preparing haute cuisine dinners at preferred times – even on short-notice. Breakfast and dinner have always been diversified, very delicous and were made with fresh ingredients. Davide attach high importance to best food quality and fullfilling our meal preferences. Further, we participated in one of Davides evening cocking lessons and learned how to produce fresh pasta (tagliatelle and ravioli with cheese/tomato), which was very interesting and a especially delicious experience.

Beside us, our hosts accommodated two „semi-wild“ dogs - Sisto and Cleo, which strayed into their house a couple of years ago. Both dogs are harmless, very playful and tried to beg for some served food. You couldn’t really blame them as they simply want to get a bit from the fragrant and mouth-watering meals ;-).

During the meals we had very interested and informative talks with our open-minded hosts on culture, politics, society and of course food. All in all, this stay was a mind- and taste-extending time, which we enjoyed a lot and did not expect at this high „level of service“.

The tastefull furnished, comfortable and very clean rooms (bedroom/workroom/bath) contained a big bed, a hugr shower, lots of space and good heating. All rooms were situated on the first floor/Gallery, i.e. we had the whole first floor for us. The hosts provided a lot of fresh towels and whatever was required to make us feel good.

We would like to thank Davide and Christina again for their cordial and very obliging hospitality. We will keep this and the most magnificent impressions of the beautiful area - which we especially enjoyed during the outdoor-breakfast - in best memory.
