We didn't met Nicola but the boy and neighbors we met were very nice and helpful even if they didn't speak English (like almost everyone in this small village but people are so nice, they do their best to help us even if it's hard to communicate!). The apartment is lovely, there is everything you need, but old fashioned! The village is beautiful, very typical and non-touristic (but we mange to find a place to eat despite our late arrival!). The view from the room is great, so good to wake up like this!
