The place is located in the beautiful and rather unspoiled Valle del Vanoi. Canal San Bovo is a small village which does have two supermarkets and some other small shops. I you are looking for more, Mezzano and Fiera di Primiero, both quite cozy places, are at about 10-15 minutes away through the tunnel (that valley is a lot more touristic). Canal San Bovo is an excellent place to explore the valley both by bike and for hikers. The apartment was sparkling clean and thoughtfully decorated. It is spacious and has great views on the surrounding mountains from the balcony. And if you happen to get some bad weather, Venice where the weather is usually a lot warmer is only like two hours away by car. It is definitely recommended to have a car. Elisabetta and her husband are very accommodating hosts that responded very quickly to whatever question we had. Definitely a place we will want to come back to.
