Silvana was a perfect host during our visit to the Marche region. We wanted to experience an authentic local meal, and Silvana made sure we had a full authentic experience as well. We enjoyed a variety of local dishes, which were served in the cool shade of their garden. The food was honest, local, delicious and obviously made with love by Silvana. She is quickly learning English, and her husband Stefano was able to translate the trickier bits of our Australian English for her, so we could have lovely conversations with them both as we ate our meals. We felt so relaxed after our long lunch, we wished we could have stayed longer so we could have an afternoon sleep in the shade of their ancient olive trees. Thank you Silvana for the great experience!
