Nice place to relax & hike

A Bella Scusa is nicely furnished and Christophe was taking care of us. As we stayed in Bastelica out of season he organized a little home made dinner for us. Breakfast was fresh and local. Excellent teas are available for guests. The living room is comfortable and accommodating. The rooms are very clean and well furnished. We like outdoors and did a great hike nearby in Val D‘Ese to the Pozzi (see pictures). In town there is even a little supermarket. Would definitely come here again.
