If you are looking for an unspoilt taste of real Italy, this is the place. The apartment and most of the village are historic . There are lovely valley views from the pool and 5 windows of the apartment. Although there was no air conditioning, the thick stone walls and traditional wooden shutters made the midday heat bearable - more eco-friendly too. The apartment had been lovingly restored with traditional materials of high specification, but was rustic rather than polished. There were four other apartments sharing the pool, but this was a plus for us, because the children made friends with other children and played in the piazza alongside all the local Italian children, while we could watch from a table of the nearest restaurant! Prices in the 4 local shops and 2 restaurants in the village were reasonable; probably because the local people easily outnumbered the tourists. Our hosts were a very attentive American couple who lived in the village and prided themselves on the relationships they had built with the Italians, making us feel very welcome by the whole village and giving us valuable local knowledge.
