What visitors have said about Prima, Dolcetto and Noce |
| |
| |
What a wonderful place to have a holiday - especially for children. The pool is unique - fantastic - the rooms are large and cool and the hospitality of the house keepers is 2nd to none. They made us feel like part of their family and nothing was too much trouble. Restaurants gave lovely food and value for money (esp Marco!) We - Liz, David, Imogen, William and Katherine (4) (who learned to swim without armbands here) - all had a truly fabulous time.

The first few days were amazing ,more snow than we have ever seen taller than us in places.After a few days the skies cleared and the views were breath taking.Most shops and resturants close in the afternoon which takes a bit of getting used to.There are lots of little villages where everyoone is friendly and welcoming.Savona was lovely,the atmosphere,the port,and the beach which was warm even in December.We spent Xmas creating the perfect sledge run in the deep snow around the hills outside the house.Its cold at night so the extra heaters were welcome,downstairs was cosy and warm with underfloor heating and the log fire.Everything was just right.We would love to come back in the summer,but the winter experiance was awesome.
