You travel through Europe and the world where you look to encounter traditions and cultures, visit museums, relax, see amazing nature, experience new cuisines, and hike new peaks, hills or valleys.
And then, luck or perhaps your inclination for adventure brings you to a place that is on no guidebook and perhaps not even known by locals who live a few miles away. One of those places is Margone, up in Trentino's Dolomites - a few miles from Trento and Riva del Garda, but a world away from everything that is close to 'standard tourism'.
First you'll experience a windy road (extremely safe even for larger vehicles), then you'll take in some of the freshest air ever, and then, in Margone, you'll meet Luca and will step into his family's centuries old house, nestled among a handful of other similar homes.
Take a a few moments, start letting it all happen, and soak it in: the days to come may be some of the happiest days of your life.
That's how it happened to us: Luca's family kindness and warmth, the cozyness and amenities of the apartment, the views in any direction from Margone, and the constant fresh air - they all gave us moments and a simple few days of our lives that will stay with us forever.
Thank you!
