One of the difficult aspects for us during the lockdown period in Italy was our inability to have guests come over for dinner or aperitivo. The possibility of friends and relatives visiting and staying over was entirely off the table.
When we were searching for houses to buy five years ago, we specifically wanted to find a place that could accommodate guests without anyone feeling cramped nor with anyone bumping into each other during daily routines. Since moving here we have had many dinner parties, had many people visit, and have accommodated “artists in residence” for periods of time, which was also one of our objectives.
