点评:Our time at Villa Trasimeno was better than I could have imagined. Our group of four stayed for 8 days and 7 nights as part of our two week Italian vacation. The food we ate, made by Carmelo and Luana, was the best we had our whole trip. Every single meal was superb! The wines paired with each meal were perfect, as well. In addition to that, the day trips with Carmelo were outstanding. Carmelo explained all the historical relevance as well as showed us hidden gems in every town we visited. We never could find/know these details on our own. We never felt rushed yet saw so much! Our private winery tours and tastings were out of this world. Our favorite was the Brunello wine at Palazzo Winery! Wow! Being our first trip to Italy, it was also a blessing to have Carmelo pick us up at the airport and drive us to Rome for the remainder of our trip so we did not have to navigate that part. When we departed in Rome, we felt like we were saying goodbye to family. This was truly the best trip ever. I can’t speak highly enough about our time at Villa Trasimeno and look forward to another visit someday!
P.S. All the hill towns are amazing. It’s hard to pick a favorite but Assisi just felt extra special.
We LOVED our cooking class with Carmelo and Luana and felt so welcome in their home. We made a seafood pasta (mussels, calamari, and shrimp with homemade pasta), almond encrusted sea bass with potatoes and ended with an espresso and chocolate cake for dessert - this is the kind of dinners we had each night!
We also loved going to Deruta to see the ceramics process from beginning to end (and met the owner). The old part of town was so quaint and we bought several pieces and had them shipped home (we didn’t have to worry about anything breaking). We weren’t sure we were going to enjoy this but it was a highlight!
翻译:我们在特拉西梅诺别墅的时光比我想象的要好。作为我们为期两周的意大利假期的一部分,我们一行四人在这里住了 8 天 7 晚。我们吃的食物由 Carmelo 和 Luana 制作,是我们整个旅程中吃过的最好的食物。每顿饭都很棒!每顿饭搭配的葡萄酒也很完美。除此之外,与 Carmelo 的一日游非常出色。 Carmelo 解释了所有历史相关性,并向我们展示了我们访问过的每个城镇中隐藏的宝石。我们自己永远无法找到/知道这些细节。我们从来没有感到匆忙,却看到了这么多!我们的私人酒庄之旅和品酒会超出了这个世界。我们最喜欢的是 Palazzo Winery 的布鲁内罗葡萄酒!哇!作为我们第一次去意大利旅行,让卡梅洛在机场接我们并开车送我们去罗马度过余下的旅程,这也是一件幸事,这样我们就不必再去那部分了。当我们离开罗马时,我们感觉就像是在和家人道别。这真是有史以来最好的旅行。对于我们在特拉西梅诺别墅的时光,我怎么说都不为过,期待有一天再次光临!
附言所有的山城都很棒。很难选出最喜欢的,但阿西西感觉格外特别。
我们喜欢与 Carmelo 和 Luana 一起上的烹饪课,在他们家感觉很受欢迎。我们制作了海鲜意大利面(贻贝、鱿鱼和虾配自制意大利面)、杏仁海鲈鱼配土豆,最后以浓缩咖啡和巧克力蛋糕作为甜点——这就是我们每晚都吃的那种晚餐!
我们也很喜欢去德鲁塔(Deruta)从头到尾观看陶瓷工艺(并会见了主人)。镇上的老城区非常古雅,我们买了几件,然后把它们运回家(我们不必担心任何东西坏了)。我们不确定我们是否会喜欢这个,但这是一个亮点!
