By Karen, Belgium on 31-Jul-2024Hidden Gem in the middle of a small village overlooking the mountains. Wake up every morning to the singing of the many birds in a charming, characterful house in a quiet yet ideal location for trips. Beautiful garden with refreshing pool, all the necessities in the house are present, very clean accommodation, in the village you will find everything you need, here you are in authentic Italy..... I can keep going.
