The kitchen was great so we cooked in most nights; although it would have been an easy drive to other villages in the valley if we wanted to dine out. This town is at the lower end of the Valley. Whilst there are lots of walks in the area, we ended up driving 30 or more minutes to the top of the valley to do most of our day hikes (our oversight!). There is no stereo (only a radio) or English channels on the TV so it's easy to switch off. The one thing I want to note is that the couch/ lounge area is quite small. For 2 people it was OK, but for any more it might be a bit tight! Thanks Franca for having us!
