At the entrance is a veranda with a coffee table for enjoying your morning cup of good italian cappuccino or smoking and talking with friends. Below the veranda is a wine cellar that is pleasantly cold even in the hottest summer, and here you can enjoy a glass of wine. Particularly attractive is the terrace which extends to the backyard with views of the surrounding hills, so it is the ideal place for dining and relaxing. It is perfect for self catering holidays as the kitchen is well equipped and there is a BBQ with a pizza oven on the terrace, all with a free supply of wood. If you don't want to cook there are various restaurants close by. We’ve opened up our home to you with the knowledge that you will feel as comfortable as we do.

Response from the owner Thank you so much for all that you have said and done, we sincerely appreciate the reviews that you have written promptly and extensively. In the passed days we have often thought of you and mentioned you as we think that you are true ambassadors of your country. We admire how you manage to enjoy yourselves in the village it self, with running, mud bathing, sound recording, drawing and so on. We were greatly impressed by your own and your extended family's deep curiosity and understanding of the nature and our environment as well as by their opens and communicativeness. It was a real joy to host you and therefore we are looking forward to seeing you in the future. Our family sincerely wishes you all the best.
