The Villa
The house ideally located on a hill facing the town, with spectacular views of the valley below.(on a clear day.one can see the snow capped alps)
It’s a big house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, finished with marble and parque floors, high ceilings and has all the main facilities. The hosts Rosanna(speaks English)and Gianfranco(owns a vineyard and would be happy to supply the wine)can give you tips of where to go and what to visit.
But what makes this house so popular is that it has a massive terrazza, where you can wine dine or relax and unwind.
