My wife is a good chef, it try to experiment exotic and fusion cuisine and some times to come back to local traditions, and it love to read it's Kindle, with which they were read hundreds of books

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
As in all the small Italian villages the neighborhood is part of the local culture, if you need help there will certainly be someone with an outstretched hand.
A few steps from home, on the top of a hill overlooking San Gemini and across the valley there is a beautiful public swimming pool, where you can relax after a day of "hard vacation": D

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
San Gemini has been awarded the title of "one of the most beautiful villages in Italy" and of the "Slow Food" presidium, this means that we live in what is beautiful in history and traditions, from the art to food. A small village in the countryside where time passes slowly and quietly.
Around there are naturalistic attractions such as the Marmore Falls (the highest waterfall in Europe), or other historical and artistic ones such as the Duomo of Orvieto and the Basilica of San Francesco in Assisi, to immerse yourself in relaxation and nature, two steps away, there is the enchanting valley of the Nera river with its river park, and finally you can complete the evening with a fantastic bottle of Rosso di Montefalco while admiring the vineyards.
For special occasions, Rome "Caput Mundi" is only an hour's drive away!
