Ciao and welcome! I'm Martha - born and raised in Pasadena, California and now living in Riomaggiore, Cinque Terre since 2007 with my husband (Francesco is a local from Riomaggiore) and 2 kids! I originally came to Italy in 2005 for a Masters in Brand Management at the Marangoni School in Milan, Italy. A few of my girlfriends in the program and I decided to spend the weekend in the Cinque Terre - and... I met Francesco. I guess you can say, the rest is history? :) We usually take some time out in the winter to travel and to get together with our families - Our (kids') favorite destination spot is Hawaii, so we usually make a stop there before heading into LA...Japan.. or wherever our families may be at the time! Francesco has a boat tour company in the marina in Riomaggiore (CINQUE TERRE DAL MARE) So yes, we're busy, but we both love our jobs. :) Hosting is what I do - We have five properties of our own and my job is to provide you with an amazing experience! You can also reach us at stayinriomaggiore .c o m Looking forward to hearing from you! Martha
