My wife and the other couple we were travelling with enjoyed our week at the farmhouse in Besozzola. The house work well for us and the location although very remote was great. We met some of the local residence and learned about the history of the area and had a relaxing stay. It was a nice place to end our Italian tour this summer.
Er was niet veel in de directe omgeving te zien, alles was op minimaal 30 minuten rijden op slechte en kreukelende wegdekken en de meeste bezienwaardigheden waren alleen in het weekend te zien. Het huis is tussen 2 andere huizen en buiten zitten heeft weinig privacy als de buren langskomen. Wij waren erg teleurgesteld.
Prachtige woning. Roisin doet haar uiterste best om je verblijf tot in de puntjes te verzorgen. Het was gedurende ons verblijf erg warm, dus wij hebben voornamelijk het water opgezocht. Baia Blu is een aanrader. Het is wel een stukje rijden, maar dat is het meer dan waard!
The house and the area were lovely. The house is well equipped and is a real home away from home. There was every cooking utensil we thought we might need - and more.
Due to the very rural location (almost the middle of nowhere) we managed to see a range of wildlife including deer and wild boar and some cute neighbourhood cats too. The view from the patio is stunning, especially as the sunsets with a glass of wine.
There are several cities close by to visit, Roisin recommended using the train, rather then driving into the cities which was much less stressful. Milan has to be the most beautiful railway station! We booked using the trainline app mostly though getting tickets at the station is easy enough.
I would definitely hope to visit again as there was much we didn't get to do. And I would recommend to family and friends.
Drawback? Biting insects - go equipped with insect repellent, stock up on citronella at the supermarket. And the church bells, I liked them but my fellow travelers were less keen.
Roisin is a fabulous host, her house is lovely. Highly, highly recommend.
