Castelluccio Valmaggiore is the birthplace of my grandparents and I brought my children to walk the streets and experience their roots. It's a small quiet village and this home seems to be the only option for out-of-towners if you want to stay in Castelluccio Valmaggiore but we didn't want for anything. We spent three nights at Ilaria's family's home and it was perfect. the kitchen is ample, beds comfortable and there are plenty of towels! The home doesn't have air conditioning but it wasn't an issue as the walls are so thick and the materials used keep things cool. The only thing we weren't prepared for was the lack of available places to eat so we either went to other villages or shopped at the local grocery store when it was open.
The home is close to the center of town on a cobblestone street and parking is ample. Ilaria is the perfect host and communicating with her was so easy and prompt (her English is amazing!). She and her sister were kind enough to take me to city hall one morning to search for records of my grandparents. I loved meeting some of the town's local residents and hope to return soon!
