    Definitely the highlight of our trip. Barbara and Claudio were warm and genuine from the moment we met them, we totally enjoyed their company and felt welcomed in their stylish and cosy home. They even introduced us to their friendly neighbours and cat! Plus of course the food was great. Highly recommended :
