The is their current home, Bella Baita. It means "Mountain House". The guest rooms are on ground floor.
Our hosts and the entrance sign.
Our host's father helped build the local road, so there was a sign to commemorate the opening of the road.
Bella Baita is the first property on the street! :)
Our hosts' mother keeps a garden in the old family property. The mother maintain the garden with the help of the father. This is certainly healthy exercises! And all the fresh air! It's kinda funny though because our hosts are not allowed into the garden. Instead they get their ration of vegetables when the time is right! :)
The view from Bella Baita is very beautiful. It is truly a mountain retreat and the air is very fresh. I wish I can bottle some back to London.
The stone marks the family home's year of completion.
It is empty now.
Then we went for a walk in the 'forest'.
There are a number of empty houses on the mountain. A lot of people keeps a holiday home here for the summer break. It must be very nice and cool up here during the summer.
Our hosts showed up a few vintage points. The view is really beautiful. I wish I have some cushions, some blankets, a picnic basket (with foie gras, prosciutto, cheese, salad, some bread and a couple bottles of red) and a good book. I can spend a day here! 
Isn't this beautiful? It was truly amazing in person!
We also found some edible mushrooms along the way. So our hosts pick some for dinner.
And we also saw some very inedible mushrooms! They are so pretty though!!!The surrounding area is so beautiful! It was a relaxing day for both of us, though we were physically tired by the end of our 'short walk'! :P
