Today is the Italian ferragosto on August 15th. I looked at the thousands of photos taken during the two months of my sister and me traveling in Italy this summer, and recalled some of the beauty of the trip. This time we went to more than 20 cities, villages and towns from north to south and then from south to north, and stayed in many different styles of hotels, palaces, and homestays. Among them, the Palazzo Stunis that lives in Ostuni Puglia is particularly memorable. It has been half a month since I returned to Shanghai. Every morning when I drink coffee at home, I always think of the Palazzo Stunis I lived in. Its special charm is the warm and familiar intimacy when I enter the door. After chatting with the owner, I learned that the house is a family business he inherited from his grandfather. Everything from the color of the wall, the hand-painted pattern on the ceiling, the mosaic of the floor marble, the furniture, the tableware to the bathroom shower equipment, the towels for the guests, everything is spotless and elegant. The readily available antique furnishings are polished and polished, exuding extravagance but no ostentation, and naturally set off the historical sense of the ancestral real estate without revealing any old and pedantic atmosphere. The host, Matteo, is very sincere and polite. We are moved every morning by the hearty breakfast he carefully prepared. The table is covered with starched white drawnwork tablecloths and elegant silver-rimmed plates are placed on the table. With silver tableware and neatly folded white cloth embroidered with small flowers. He brought out the cappuccino while chatting softly, introducing us to the places to go every day and the restaurants he likes to go to, and then he helped us contact the car and the driver. During the few days spent here, the beauty of every day starts with his breakfast... Until the day of departure, Matteo helped us carry our heavy luggage and drove us into the car. Next time I go back to Ostuni, I will definitely live with him again. Today, I wrote a review on TripAdvisor, which is a small reward for the host’s hospitality.
