We absolutely adored Federico's place. It is ingeniously hidden away, and you really feel like you're in the middle of nowhere despite the proximity to all the necessary conveniences, and to Bergamo and the other major tourist attractions nearby. 800m down the hill is the main road that connects you to all of these things, but 800m up the hill behind are footpaths through oak woods, olive groves and vineyards, which eventually lead right up onto the higher hills behind. The house itself is very elegant, with lovely proportions to the rooms, a beautifully eclectic mix of furniture and art, and all the practical things you could ever need. We were only 4 adults, but even with double our number, the space would have been ample. The garden and pool are lovely, and the views glorious. I could go on...Communication with Federico was excellent, and he gave us some great tips for places to visit. We very much hope to come back again soon!
