Small medieval village composed by one square with sulhpur spring water and a couple of streets. This place is magic. The views of the valley are very beautiful. The hot spring sulphur water goes into this square place creating a magic athmosphere. You can put your feet on the water not in the square but on the nearby little creek, or you may wish to have a full bath with view at one hotel next to the parking lot. We also suggest you la BOTTEGA DI CACIO, where to get your delicious food and a glass of red wine to have it in the nextdoor organized picnic area.
