Guest comments
Fabulous house, great position with the veiws of the mountains and the river, we could have sat on the patio forever! Glad we did wander out though as Badalucco is wonderfull, people freindly and great bars and restuarants you can walk home from. We loved the contrast between the ancient mountain village further up the valley and the cosmopolitan coastal resorts. Our kids loved the the swimming hole in the river and now have Italian pen-pals (well SMN pals)
that they met there. We will be back.
