Serena Paolini is an excellent guide: knowledgeable and attentive, as well as thorough in her descriptions and stories, complete with interesting details and anecdotes. Thank you very much!
A beautiful journey. A village that overwhelms you for its beauty and culture. Rich in art and traditions. Each corner tells the story .. and then has all the services and lots of places to taste their products.
