What was originally intended to be just a short visit turned into a three-day stay with Thore. During that time, he shared with us his appreciation for people and their circumstances, his dry sense of humour, his strong work ethic, his zest for life, his energy and optimism, and, last but not least, his love of and knowledge about Italian art, … read more

I had planned to visit Turi and Chris last fall, but had to cancel. Unfortunately, this time I was able to stay for only a few days.

What a nice place and a wonderful and lovely couple! Kind, interesting and cheerful. I was invited to their table for all meals, and what delicious and tasty food. We had long conversations about history, art, … read more

Renato lives in a beautiful place, overlooking the Po Valley, with his olive grove and impressive garden with a great variety of flowers, fruits and vegetables. In distance to the west you observe Monte Viso. I arrived to take part in finalising the olive harvest, also doing some gardening work. The work was interesting, easy and not too much. … read more

It has been a pleasure to host Thore for about 10 days. He is a reliable, curious and educated person with a deep experience in various fields. He proved extremely helpful performing different tasks in the garden and in the wood. Do not be swayed by his age, he has the energy and stamina of a young man and I definitely recommend him for further … read more
