I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our time with Janice & Francesca. They made us feel like family. We cooked, we drank, we laughed, we shared stories, and we ate. We ate lots of wonderful food. In our pre-trip communications with them, I had shared that our trip was a celebration of my wife and my 35th anniversary. The other wonderful couple there that night had also shared that it was their 20th. The sister’s presented us each with a special dessert and music during the evening. So very special for them to remember. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to get a feel and taste for authentic Italian hospitality, and food, with recipes straight from the old country. I feel as if we’ve added to our family now.

Je recommande vivement...
