Overall: Very peaceful and quiet and close to many major wine areas. Enjoyed Most: The peace and quiet. Enjoyed Least: The flies and some of the art. We expected a country villa with traditional surroundings as depicted on the web site. What we got was a farmhouse, very nice, but filled with edgy, modern, non-farmhouse art. Surrounding Area: The people we met were amazing and very friendly and helpful. Nearby Events or Locales: Castlenuevo del Abate. Yes but we did not walk. Tips or Restaurants: Schedule a cooking class with Bruna and her translator Anna Lisa. They are an amazing team. The cooking class was the highlight of the visit.
