Introduction

Hi there!

This is the first entry on the new blog for Tenuta Collicello. What is Tenuta Collicello? Well, it’s a few different things. Primarily, and as the subject of this blog, it’s a brand new Bed & Breakfast working towards Country Inn outside a village called San Biagio della Valle, about 15km (10 miles) southwest of Perugia, in central Italy. As things go along, you’ll discover various things about the B&B business (and business in general) in Italy, about the countryside where we’re located, about who we are and where we come from (and where we’re going?), plus a number of other maybe not-so-related things. As is usual with blogs, we welcome comments and participation, although we retain the right to control what goes up on the blog from 3rd parties.

If you get interested in coming to visit us, please take a look at http://Tenuta.info, which is a short address redirect to the main website at www.TenutaCollicello.com. There, you will find many things about our new operation, and about some of the other things we do as well.

My sign-off will usually be “ciao for now…” What you need to understand (if you don’t already) is that “ciao” in Italian (pronounced “chow”) is like “aloha” in Hawaiian; it means “hello” as well as “goodbye”, so you can say “ciao!” when you see a friend (it is rather personal, you don’t say “ciao” to just anybody), and again when you part. So,

Ciao for now…
