Had a great stay here! We were able to check in early and was greeted by the owner with espresso and peach cake! Echo provided helpful translation when needed. We also received an invitation to the family's alpaca farm that night. The room itself was very clean and cutely appointed. We were only there for one night, but it had all the basics we needed with the exception of dish soap. Good WiFi!

Would highly recommend Residence Rainieri & the town and hope to be able to...

There are two large supermarkets nearby which make it easy for shopping.||||All in all, this was a very...
