Cappelletta Family House

You enter the house into a low-ceilinged sitting room with a beckoning sofa, roaring fire and, if you choose to pay extra for dinner, the delicious aromas coming from the kitchen. Down a short low passage you’ll find the dining room and steps out to the terraced garden. Books are scattered everywhere, there’s a record player with an impressive classical music collection and a smart TV for films.

Outdoors there are several areas for sitting, eating and walking along the river where in summer you can lie on the rocks in the cooling shallow water. Children will adore their own playground with a small wooden house, you can watch them play safely while you dine on the terrace or fire up one of two barbecues. You’ll find all you need for breakfast left in the kitchen, a big fridge, gas hob and oven but no gadgets – it’s a return to basics sort of kitchen.

Bedrooms upstairs have very comfortable beds, soft white sheets and valley views.
