Relaxing Morning at Villa Carolina

A cool breezy day to start but bright and promising. Great breakfast spread with eggs made to order from their own chicken and ducks. Took a stroll around the property - very lovely and they have their own lemon trees, olive trees, garden and chicken coop. We would later find out they can about 400 bottles of plum tomatoes every season in addition to making their own olive oil. A very busy couple - Carlo is a trained chef and bar manager and he made the best latte/expresso/americanos on the trip. Emanuela is very personable, helpful, and organized with excellent English skills. She obviously has a good sense of style as the place was very contemporary in its home décor; Carlo called it "the woman touch". Two resident dogs including a Lab accompanied Carlo on his property rounds.

Doug wanted to catch up on some photo work so Nancy just relaxed and in the afternoon we decided since the sun was out we would just get a beer to go with the cheese we had bought at the market in Rome and relax on the terrazza until it was time to go to town for dinner.もっと詳しく
