I'm a 66 years old retired high school teacher; my 3 children live abroad.
I love travelling to visit new and "old" places.
If I have a swap with my Italian house I usually travel by myself, while when I use the American house - Rhode Island - I travel with my second son Giacomo (34) and his wife Anna (31), both working at University.

Read More...Mille Grazie Chiara per il tua ospiti. The well situated appartement is near the historic center of Padova. The appartement is big and well furnished. With the 3 balconies it was possible to take the breakfast or the dinner outside - in October! Chiara is the perfect host and a charming person. She picked us up from the central station- you can reach Padova perfect by train- and invited us to an italian dinner. And naturally Padova is wonderful. You have so much possibilities for excursions : Venezia, Vicenza, the Colli Euganei and the villas and castles along the Brenta. We had 2 wonderful weeks in Padova and we hope, we see us again. Yours Gabi & Kurt

Just adding this: Chiara you must still come over to Oxford, when all this Covid stuff is over! Looking forward to receiving you here.

Padoue est très intéressante et au cœur d'une région riche en visites. Chiara est charmante, son accueil a été chaleureux et elle a même eu la gentillesse de nous ramener à l'aéroport. Merci pour tout !

Read More...Dear Chiara thank you very much for this swap! Chiara’s apartment lies in the center of Padua, a few minutes walk to the beautiful historic parts of the city. The appartment was very convenient for us, with the three separate bedrooms, a spacious living room and a comfortable dining room. Late evenings we loved to seat on the balcony overoolking the city. Chiara has prepared for her guests a lot of guides of the surrounding cities and region. We had visited, in addition to Padua, Venice, Verona, Vincenza, Chioggio and Sirmione. We recommend exchange with Chiara, both due to the magnificent region she lives, but also because of her great hospitality, charm and enthusiasm. Chiara, we love you very much!

Read More...Enjoyed our stay in Chiara's flat on edge of Padua. Bus stop round the corner to go into town and a couple of very good places to eat within walking distance. Flat was spacious with beautiful marble floors. Great base from which to travel to Venice, Verona and Vicenza by train. Padua itself is delightful and very unspoilt. All in all a great trip. Thank you.
