The place is among the most beautiful and exciting that we have experienced in our lives together and separately. Emmanuela is a SUPER super host. Concern for all! and even more so. Surprised by her generosity, flexibility and responsiveness, even our new dog (not a simple to say the least), received care and love from Emmanuela.
The house really feels like it has existed for hundreds of years. I guess Emanuele has design knowledge, because the feeling is of a real country tradition.
An experience of going back in time with all the modern comforts.
The wood stoves provide heat at a level where you can stay in underwear and a t-shirt even on a cold November night. To our surprise, in the morning the heat was maintained.
On the wonderfully green terraces full of privacy, every morning we started with coffee watching our dog who made contact with the cows among the spectacular view into the valley and around mountain peaks.
Cows herding bells, ringing water wading from a small stream makes the pastoral alive and pulsating. You can also hear it from inside the house... just a legend! In a 3-minute walk you reach the stream (which is too small to dip in), the water is refreshing very cold. Our dog had a great time there.
The church above the group of houses is stunning. Between the church and Emmanuela's house runs a path that leads to the village Camerata cornello (there is a small wooden sign marking it and very ancient ruins).
The kitchen is fully equipped.
We didn't use the wonderful space on the third floor, but for family or friends colleagues, it seems that you can spend long hours there comfortably.
The internet worked very well for our needs - a bit for work and also watching Netflix etc.
The path to the house with the suitcases requires a slight effort but really worth it! Emanuele also thought about this - in accordance with real village life - she left a wheelbarrow that made it easier for us to leave.
Last tip, one day suddenly a bag with excellent jams was waiting for us on the door! a present from Emanuela which a nearby family produces. When we left, we went to see the place and left with several jars and some amazing cheeses. We indulged in them later on our road trip.
