What a beautiful location this is. Situated next to the owners villa and sited on the edge of a green vally, this could almost be the twin of our little cottage in Wales.

This first morning we sat having breakfast on the veranda watching the sun slowly creep across the valley floor. Melodic Italian farmers were yelling their sing song instructions to sheep dogs, some bird of prey yet to be identified soared and cried its shrill call. This is simple and lovely.

Even better – we actually have 3G!! Britain, see, you can deliver signals to rural locations!!

A lazy Sunday planned for now and a chance to test the pool.
