OUR SMALL HOTEL IN ITALY - the place where our dream came true

We are Riadh and Monica and we have a real passion for travelling. Having spent a number of years studying, working and travelling around the world, we love to define ourselves now as nomads by vocation.

MAROSTICA: A LIFESTYLE CHOICE

- We arrived in Marostica by chance, fifteen years ago. It was a sunny spring day and an aperitif in the Chess Square was enough to change our lives. A few months later we moved here and for years we kept opening our windows to make sure that the medieval walls hadn’t vanished during the night. We still have the same enthusiasm for Marostica and we hope you will fall in love with this beautiful town too.

25 YEARS DEDICATED TO TOURISM

- Riadh got his high school diploma at a Tourism Institute, while Monica is an Art History graduate. We both started our career as entertainers in resorts and as teachers in Tourism Institutes before starting to manage residences in Sardinia and small hotels in Italy.
Riadh has also been an active partner in a tourism services agency and is now, thanks to his ability to speak six foreign languages, Export Manager of an important Italian company. Instead Monica worked in travel publishing before becoming a licensed professional tourist guide and starting to write children’s books.
Marostica was a turning point in our lives and it is the place where our dream came true: offering our guests what we ourselves are looking for as we travel the world.

TRUSTY TRAVEL COMPANIONS

- Since 2010 Alberto and Irma have been cooperating with us in managing the hotel. At your arrival you will meet Alberto at the Reception desk, ready to welcome you and help you with your “travel needs”, like choosing a restaurant or booking a taxi. Each morning you will find Irma in the breakfast room and she will also take care of your room. They are both really kind people and love their job: we are sure you will like them too.

TRAVELING IS OUR PASSION

- We love travelling with our son Samir and we organize our trips ourselves, off the beaten track. In choosing where to spend the night we don’t count the hotel’s stars. It might be a very simple inn or an exclusive resort, but it must reflect the atmosphere of the county we are visiting and make us feel at home. Arriving at our destination, we are always curious to taste the local specialities, shop in the small craft shops and discover how the locals live, spending time chatting with them. If you too like travelling in this way, then we will have a lot to talk about…
