A mountain-side village
Pieve di Teco is a little gem with great shopping arcades but few places to eat/drink. Noasca is a further 4.5kms up the mountain via a narrow twisting lane.
Once there Casa Dino is easily found and has the promised off-road parking. First impression on entering....Wow! very Architectural, and sure enough we soon learn the Owner is indeed an Architect in Berlin.Sadly all the home information is only in german so it was difficult to find how things worked; a call to Germany was needed in order to get the heating working as it was very cold when we arrived.
We are both 80+ so found the numerous steps [of varying dimensions and with no handrails!!] a real hazard especially as the only toilet was on the lower floor, necessitating frequent use of the steep stair. The view over the surrounding mountains is great, the Kitchen arrangements are not; everything is there, but badly arranged with haphazard storage and out-of-reach shelves: everything worked OK [except for the dishwasher which could not be opened] but it is certainly not a place for keen cooks. Beds very comfortable and lots of good linen.
