Isolated house in the mountains
We had a warm welcome from Donatella with an homemade cake as well as sparkling wine. All communications were great and we always had quick responses.
In living in this house we discovered a part of World War II we were not familiar with, but my youngest son did not like the idea that families had been killed in the house and in surrounding houses and was slightly scared.
This house enabled us to immerse ourselves in the Italian way of living. For North Americans, this house really took us out of our zone of confort:
- it takes about 20-25 minutes of narrow roads and narrow turns, mostly up hill to get to the house. This made us very nervous each time we were going to or coming from the house.
- the fridge freezer was very tiny and we couldn’t really keep anything in it
- the house is attached to abandoned houses
- as it is in the woods and made of ciment, it smells humidity, keeping the windows opened helped
- the bells from the church ring every half hour to indicate the time
- the washing machine is outside
- to manage use of electricity, the hot tub is at pool temperature
I would recommend this house for people that want to be isolated and do hiking. The view from the mountains is incredible, we can see the sea.
