Easily accessible by bus and close to small town of Tesserete which has shops and outdoor swimming facilities. Perfectly equipped - a real home from home, with charming features & amazing gardens. Owners are extremely friendly & helpful, even invited us to enjoy a meal of local...

About the neighbourhood

The village is situated in middle of a chessnut forest with many hiking trails in all directions. At night it is usually very quiet so we can hear the wild animals, deers, marten, fox, owls etc.
This place is ideal for families with small and big children, for couples, friends and single persons who love being in the nature and in the quiet.
