Why Susie Macklem chose Marradi

In searching for a suitable property for a B & B villa, many factors were considered. Primary was the comfort of American guests who are accustomed to large bedrooms, beds and bathrooms. This is a newer property with all the modern comforts of a breathtaking mountain location.

What makes this villa unique

Living The Dream Bed and Breakfast was developed out of the love of Italy and the desire to share this love of Italy with American guests. The location is somewhat removed from the usual American tourist traffic and, as such, will provide a unique and more authentic Italian experience for guests.
