When we arrived the owner gave us a very warm and friendly welcome . She was very helpful and although we did not speak Italian we tried to help each other with the language barrier. The owner accompanied us with her car up to a beautiful mountain lodge. The area was incredibly beautiful and very peaceful and quiet. It is important though that your car can handle a pretty steep climb on gravel road. The cottage was very clean and very well supplied. I can think of no downsides and want to recommend this highly!
