great apartment, about a 15 minute walk from the main pizzale - there was not much snow when we visited so it was quiet in fopollo and the carona ski lifts were closed. However, we really enjoyed the pistes being quiet - they were well maintained and excellent staff run the pistes. Usually another ski lift would be open, even closer walking distance from Lino's apartment but this wasn't running due to the lack of snow. Lino's apartment was warm, safe and comfortable - big balcony too with a fantastic view of the mountains! I couldn't get the washing machine to work - but we didn't really need it. great communication from Lino throughout. the local restaurants are excellent value for money and fantastic food with local delicacies. lots of ski schools in Fopollo with friendly and helpful instructors - ski and snowboard hire was very reasonable and everyone we met was friendly and helpful. small local mini Mart where we could buy the basics, we did not hire a car so we were not able to go to the main supermarket, about 15 minute drive away. I would recommend hiring a car - so you could visit San Simone and Lennon/Bergamo. having said that, our private taxi transfer was very reasonably priced! We were thrilled with Fopollo, we will return next year - when there is a bit more snow!
