Hi I'm Louise and am excited to be heading back to Italy! I am an almost 60 year old woman who is looking for slower paced travel without missing all that i want to see. I spent 3 weeks back in 2014 on a bus tour, very fast-paced, traveling through Italy. Fell in love with all parts and want to explore more.

The accommodation will have separate rooms as well as some shared rooms. Full kitchen, dining area as well as comfortable areas to relax.
