Giulia was wonderful to work with!! She helped really make the trip what we wanted it to be. We especially enjoyed our time in Bologna. The cooking class with Veronica and the tours with Riccardo were highlights!

We enjoyed the apartment-style accommodation and the access to a washing machine mid-trip. The place was clean and comfortable. Our only complaint was the shower; it has very low water pressure, which makes rinsing shampoo and conditioner out of hair more difficult.

The car smelled strongly of cigarette smoke, which irritates my allergies a bit.

We often take cooking classes in different countries/cities when we travel. This one has been the best so far. Veronica made us feel very welcome; it felt like learning an old family recipe and sharing a delicious meal with a good friend.
