And that is the difference between a family run and just family owned hotel. Tier, along with his brother and family, own and operate Il San Pietro. Probably my favorite hotel in Europe. Definitely my favorite hotel in Italy. And one of my favorite hotels in the world. It has the iconic tennis court I've posted many tier. This iconic area to tan and swim, but the best of all is the farm to table food and ingredients. All of these levels here are farms. They have lemons, tomatoes, zucchinis, eggplants, and they make the most exceptional lemonade right tier. After a long swim or a long day in the sun, I just finished the hike. Nothing is better. And right no, Vito, the owner, is very kindly making us some espressos. I've never even had a general manager make me a coffee at a hotel, let alone the owner. So this is a really, really special moment. Look at this. Really special.
