We had a lovely time at Agnese's house. Everything was very well prepared and the house was well equipped. Agnese is very organized, everything was written down and we received good guidance and recommendations beforehand. There were even instructions on how to properly slice the panettone.

Dear Agnese, we felt so well in your home and enjoyed the environs. We left the car parked all the time and did all by bike: Aqua Petrarca, Monselice, Este, Praglia... We thank you for all the fine things you've left for us and cooking was a joy for us. To sit in front of the house with this beautiful view and the silence around us was great. We hope to host you soon in our house. Molto grazie!!

The house of Agnese surrounded by olive trees is located on a hill in extremely quiet surroundings. The house neatly furnished and tidy. Everything necessary is available. In case of problems you can get advice from Agnese's parents in the neighboring house; the father also speaks german. The somewhat distant village is very charmingly located with many good restaurants. A car or bicycles is recommended to explore the wider area (Monselice, Padua, Este, Montagnana). Bike tours to these cities are easy or even in the hills or in the Po Delta are possible. We got to know and appreciate Agnese as a helpful, committed woman. We wish her and the three children all the best.

Arquà Petrarca è una cittadina veramente piacevole, molto verde e con molti interessi culturali e turistici. Perfetta l'accoglienza nella casa di Agnese, in una posizione invidiabile. Ci siamo davvero rilassati.

La casa di Agnese è bellissima con vista sui colli Euganei, la città di Arqua' Petrarca e tutta la zona è veramente bella e interessante. Spero di ripetere lo scambio in quelle zone. Grazie ancora .

Cara Agnese grazie per l'idea di questo scambio, siamo stati davvero bene nella tua bellissima casa e tu sei stata un'ospite pena di premure. A presto!

great, super quiet location in a beautiful region with interesting historical sites, towns and villages

Siamo arrivati a casa di Agnese la sera, accolti da una casa in campagna, tanti libri (abbiamo in particolare apprezzato che molti venissero dalla locale biblioteca, proprio come da noi), dei comodi letti, tanti giochi e tante informazioni sulle vicinanze. Il giorno dopo c'era un po' di nebbia, quindi non abbiamo tanto apprezzato le vicinanze e siamo andati a Padova (ovviamente da Verona già visitata più volte, ma sempre molto bella) per poi chiudere la giornata con la vicina Arquà Petrarca e le sue giuggiole (brodo di giuggiole, pane alle giuggiole, gelato alle giuggiole...). Il giorno dopo invece gran sole e splendido panorama dei Colli Euganei. Piacevolissima camminata al paese, non piu' di 15 minuti, per un ultima visita al Petrarca, un saluto alla casetta che tanto piacevolmente ci aveva accolti, e via a vedere le città fortificate (Monselice, Este e Mantovana), per poi tornare a Verona. Proprio un bel weekend. Grazie ad Agnese per avercelo proposto ed averci accolti cosi' calorosamente.

We were satisfied with this home exchange in this small town rich in history and tradition. The hospitality was excellent, as was the welcome received. The Euganean hills are beautiful even if the period in which we went is not the best as it is too hot.

This was my first exchange. I have always loved Italy. And I like birds. So I was very much looking forward to the Eugenean Hills and the Po delta. The trip to the home of the Zoggias was picturesque. Hills, villages. A lot of green. Vineyards. Then the house: In the middle of a garden of old olive trees. A hammock fixed between two of them. The house itself very firendly, open. We could see the Zoggias had taste. And that they liked food and drink. They had prepared pasta,, left us prosciutto, beer, ice cream. Miriam showed us around, took a lot of time to give us instructions and made sure we felt welcome. The little village is marvellous. Very nice restaurants. We tried a different one every time we went out. And we used the nice kitchen in the house to cook. then sit out in the garden to eat. We went to a winery and bought excellent wine. We tried so many different wines that we were tipsy that day. And we took long walks across the hills. Agnese and her family did everything to make us feel comfortable! The only thing missing was the family itself. We could imagine the children running around the table, filled with cucina italiana.

a home exchange partner. Our home exchange to Northern Italy was a great pleasure for us. The contact with Agnese was very friendly and although we did not meet, we are sure that the Zoggias are a very nice family. We were warmly welcomes in a beautiful newly built home where you will find everything you need. We got well prepared information. Arqua Petrarca is a picturesque village in the Euganeans hills, offering endless opportunities for cycling and hiking. We visited Padua, Ferrara and Vicenza and were impressed by the art treasures, architecture and liveliness of these cities. It is easy to get there by train. The Zoggia family treated our house with the utmost care and greeted us with lasagna and homemade sweets in the fridge. All in all, this exchange was a highlight.

While we spent our holidays in Turkey the Zoggia Familiy from Italy took care of our house and garden in such a careful and lovely way! Returning home we found all rooms neat and clean, and all plants watered. Our guests surprised us by leaving as gift wonderful red Wine from the Veneto and handmade Italian sweets in the fridge! Thanks a lot! We heartly recommend Agnese, Adriano and their children Aurora, Antonello and Angelo as house sitters- they seem to be a warm and sophisticated family. Barbara and Hüda
