The home was easy to find, the hosts were very welcoming and genuine. The lesson on using the chitarra for making noodles and the sharing of info about the preperation and ingredients in everything related to the meal was well presented and so interesting! The sharing of the meal, and the conversation during the meal, made us feel at home. Maya (the interpreter) had very good English skills, and helped us to fully understand our gracious hosts, as well as making sure that our words were understood when our italian faltered. Would highly recommend this authentic experience.

A truly beautiful enjoyable evening with warm hosts in their beautiful home . stefania s passion for teaching authentic abruzzese food is a wonderful experience. We learned the secrets of traditional methods of cooking the regional specialties. The dinner was amazing. And the wine was the best we had during our trip to Italy

We loved this activity which takes place in a magnificent setting. The colors and purity of this river are fabulous. We highly recommend it even if we would have liked perhaps a little more freedom, that is to say to be able to paddle and stop whenever we wanted.

The kayak trip is perfect for all those who want to get involved and work a little against the current but between an expert and exhaustive guide and a unique landscape the effort leaves room only for fun and beauty.

We had a very interesting tour, Hazem, our guide, speaks excellent English and gave us a lot of information. We can only recommend a tour on the river.
