Rooms

At Home in Umbria

" I go through the new rooms of my life, still empty of furniture and memories, waiting for both to fill these spaces. They are clean pages waiting for my pen, a white canvas waiting for my brush. Will the words and the colors of our life here add to the enduring beauty and the character that I feel in these rooms even as they stand empty?" " I can hear a whisper that seems to be saying… " - from Ginda's journal

"Welcome"

I wrote these words as I waited... for what I was not sure...but a new life was beginning - there was no doubt about it. We filled our rooms with our well-loved furniture and cherished treasures, made improvements, and waited for our new memories to take form. Now, seven years later, we can say that YOU, our guests, have become part of our memories and for this we thank you. We have enjoyed your company, your patience with our short-comings, your laughter, your wonder at the countryside that surrounds us, and the moments we shared when no words were necessary. We thank you for choosing El Marsam for your holiday. A little part of each of you remains here, and we hope that each of you has returned with wonderful memories of what we think is a very special place. Please tell others about El Marsam B&B and come back again!”
