La Rogaia Guestbook
About the cookery classes at La Rogaia:
We had such a wonderful stay there and we enjoyed everything you and Ornella did for us . It was a joy to meet you and your beautiful family and we have many treasured memories of our delightful week !
Didra Kirschner, Pittsburgh, cooking class , october 2009
I truly enjoyed all the classes and the food was so delicious. When I came back to the US and had to go to the grocery store, it seemed like culture shock! You would not believe how much prepackaged, preservative ridden foods we have here.
... Thank you again for a remarkable Umbrian experience.
Cheryl Bristol, Pittsburgh, cooking class, october 2009
Thank you for the recipes. My stay at La Rogaia was a wonderful experience in every way. Ornella and the cooking classes were enjoyable and educational. Our tours of Cortona, Perugia, Sienna and Assissi including tasting the excellent local food and wine were made so interesting by sharing your knowledge of the history and culture of the area. I would most definitely return and have recommended La Rogaia to friends and family.

These are a few impressions from our guests about the Tango and Salsa classes at La Rogaia:
La Rogaia is a very special place. The scenery is simply marvellous, with mountain after mountain fading into the distance. It is really peaceful. My apartment was beautiful with its own patio overlooking the valley.
The tango course with Steve and Debbie was excellent and hugely enjoyable. Our group all got on very well together and my main impression is that we laughed an awful lot. We had a wonderful last night when we were joined by Annette, Wolfgang and their delightful girls. Best of all were our hosts who could not have been nicer. I had all my money stolen on my way and they looked after me like a lost sheep. Wolfgang was my \"official\" dancing partner - though we did rotate quite a bit. I was most fortunate as he is a tango teacher and was ever patient and informative. Thanks so much to you both and to the staff - Ornellas\'s food is not to be missed and Alex is a masseur supreme. I can\'t wait to go back! Mary Finn, Wicklow, Ireland, about a Tango class with Steve & Debbie Morrall, September 2009
If Annette and Wolfgang were not such delightful and deserving hosts I would be very reluctant to divulge La Rogaia's existence to all but my closest friends! It is an idyllic refuge tucked away in a fold of the Umbrian hills, reached from the road via a safe but serpentine farm track. On your way down, the views are spectacular, but most safely appreciated on foot; a bit of lake Trasemeno appears in the rolling landscape to the west, with the Tuscan horizon behind, and equally fine views in front and to the east. You can swim in the pool in the morning (I didn't), sip a prosecco on the terrace at sunset and dine under the stars (plenty of them). In the day we could dance and learn with the best tango teachers ever, and practice our skills at night. You can enjoy sumptuous breakfasts and dinners from Annette and Wolfgang's kitchen, with fruits and vegetables from their garden, exceptional local olive oil and wines. We also used this wonderful produce to cook meals for ourselves in our beautiful kitchen. Thank you, I didn't want to leave! Mike F. , London, 25.9.2009 about a Tango class with Joseba & Bakartxo
We enjoyed our stay with you very much and the good company.Thanks in particular for taking us out to the dances and the informative guided tour of Assisi. It was also good to see good tango! Michael and Nathalie Barr 16.5.2009 about a Salsa class with Edie the Salsa FREAK
I had a very lovely time at your beautiful place. Thanks once again for all that you did so generously and graciously to make the week especially nice.
Carol, from Colorado
We had a wonderful time at La Rogaia. The setting was just beautiful and breathtaking. The people were friendly and warm and harmonious. The Tango teachers Alberto and Valorie were the best. The memories we took home with us were marvelous.
Walter and Marilynne from New York,
who celebrated their golden wedding anniversary (!) at La Rogaia
What treasured memories to carry one through the cold days ahead. The sun, the view, the swims, the food, the dance, but most of all the pure enjoyment of life and fellowship with you and the whole group. We had a lovely week of travels always looking forward to the nice evening return to La Rogaia. Thanks.

I hope you and your family are all well. I just wanted to thank you again and say what a lovely time we had at La Rogaia. I hope I'll be back for Trasimeno Blues!

My family and I spent 2 wonderful weeks at La Rogia. It provided all the sunshine and blue sky that we had hoped for during Englands cold and wet Summer. We loved the pool, The countryside that we could wander freely through and for your restaurant recomendations. I had set out needing tranquility, children for a busy child to play with and an outdoor action holiday and found it all!!
Elizabeth Davis 7.10.2008
Apartment La Nostalgia is lovely, roomy and ecxcellent for a family of five (three children in one room). The whole place is beautiful, children can roam freely, the pool is lovely though quite small. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and got used to the 2.5km track to the house.
