We were a family of 8 on vacation, running around different parts of Italy. We wanted to try a mountain lodge to break the never ending historical churches and ruins,all of which were fantastic but also tiring. The house is part of a small village, so it can not be said it is a cabin in the woods but it does have nice mountain views and lots of great walks to go around in. There is no skiing in the area , at least downhill ones , you have to drive to San Martino which is quite further than we thought over 30 mins but the towns around and in between are very cute so we enjoyed it. This place is not practical for those without a car so dont consider it. The house itself is a flat on top of Luciano's own home and is modern Alpine interior. We had a lot fun there cooking our own food and hanging out. We actually wished we had some extra days to stay. Luciano does not speak English but his son does and he gave us all the excellent info on where to eat, walk, drive to. They are communicate very quickly too. All in all I highly recommend this place!
