At Valentina's house you will find hospitality and simplicity! Valentina lives with her dog and loves to take long walks outdoors, which is why she decided to live in the countryside near Mantua, a beautiful town rich in Renaissance-era buildings. Mantuan cuisine also owes part of its origin to the Gonzaga family that ruled the city from 1328 to 1707. The products of this land are rice, which was introduced precisely during the Renaissance period, by the Gonzaga, the Visconti-Sforza or the Este family of Ferrara (the origin is still doubtful); pumpkin, with which delicious tortelli the identity dish par excellence is prepared; Grana cheese, Lambrusco. Valentina loves cooking, inventing, and most of all meeting curious people from other parts of the world.
