The house is mainly made of wood and is cozy inside out. There are two other homes on the lot, but privacy is guaranteed. The garden is wonderful, next to a stream and surrounded by woods and fields with flowers. No sounds except the occasional car that passes on the unpaved road nearby (you need to drive about 15’ on a somewhat bumpy road, which adds to the isolated charm of the place). There are plenty of hikes to do, starting from the house, or from anywhere nearby, really. The surroundings are wonderful, with mountains and valleys all over. The only pity is that the otherwise friendly locals tend to litter a bit. The owners of the house are really nice and friendly. We would go back anytime. But next time with mountain bikes!
