É stata una settimana perfetta per stare con me stessa, con un bellissimo paissaggio senza rumori, con la natura e gli animali intorno, y con Caterina e Marco sono gente bravissima, umili e tranquilli e mi hanno accolto benissimo!
Un forte abbraccio a tutti e due, spero di rivedervi presto :)

What lovely, lovely people! We had such a great time staying with Caterina and Marco, they were so friendly, hospitable and caring.
