  Experience the Charm of Italy: Urbania and Locri
  - Urbania (First two weeks in July): Dive into the tranquil beauty of rural Italy at my parents’ picturesque country house. Nestled 6 km away from Urbania and surrounded by peaceful gardens, it’s the perfect setting to unwind and embrace Italian country living.
  - Locri (Last two weeks in July and first week in August):Transition to the sun-drenched coast of Calabria, where our accommodations include a cozy annex within a stunning estate. Just a stone’s throw from some of Italy’s most beautiful beaches and enriched with a citrus grove and a Mediterranean garden, it’s a slice of paradise!
  
  Cultural and Language Immersion:
  - Urbania: Sharpen Italian with morning language classes and spend afternoons helping with Ludovico or enjoying leisurely family time. Occasionally we might need some help with Ludovico also in the evening.
  - Locri: Mix work with pleasure helping with the little ones on the beach and enjoy relaxing evenings that often feature Grandpa Carmelo’s exquisite local cuisine. Occasionally we might need some help with Ludovico also in the evening.
