Ask a questionAbout Nora & Michael
Hello I am very pleased that you are interested in our home. I myself am Italian, grew up near Florence, became a classical philologist and spent with our four children 17 years in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. In the meantime, I have become grandmother of three grandchildren. The Tuscany's historic towns, its friendly people, its simple and tasty cuisine, the intense smells and its colors had already captivated me as a child and now back, I am pleased when I see that guests can live this intensive experience. I want to promise in no case more than I can hold. Michael, my husband and I love your beaming face when you arrive after a long journey and get touched by the magic of Spicchiaiolona. I would be extremely pleased to be allowed to get to know you personally, your Eleonora
