The food is incredible! Esty and Tammy, two italian women who own/run the airbnb, sure know how to cook!
The setup of this place is really amazing. The main house, where the kitchen and dining area is, is their actual home, so when you go for a meal, you can sit at the bar part of their kitchen or in their living room adjacent to it, and have a glass of wine and watch the food prep before it's served.
After we check in, they also bring a hostess tray to the room, which is a bunch of finger food..maybe a charcuterie tray with yummy mini-desserts, or finger sandwiches and a fruit tray, or mini pizzas...whatever they choose it's delicious and free and such a lovely treat to relax with after traveling.
There's no other airbnb we've stayed at that provides meals on the premises. The grounds and land, the palazzo and fire pit, the luxury of the room we stay in, combined with the meals and homey atmosphere of the main house, creates such a lovely ambience that we have no desire to leave once we get there. We spend the getaway eating decadently, relaxing in front of the fire, taking long walks followed by the hot tub, and snuggling down binge-watching TV. We NEVER relax to that degree at home, but when we're away that's ALL we do because there's nothing around us demanding attention.
We're both going in to work this morning, but hopefully will be on the road by 2.00 latest, which will be perfect because check in is at 3 and it will take us just a bit over an hour to get there.
