The structure and its worthy natural surroundings seemed so special and welcoming to us that it led us to return more than once during the year. We believe that stone farmhouses so well maintained, found in such contexts, are not very frequent in the countryside or mountains, and therefore are worth more than one experience. Each time we were able to appreciate that staying there translated into an almost affectionate flattery as well as being an ideal response to expectations. Furthermore, we liked: the exquisite friendliness of the owners, the functionality and warmth of the stone house, the still intact landscape, and last but not least, the freshness of spirit of the local people. Below are some verses - silent and strong - by Emily Dickinson to depict with a few masterful strokes the long and changing enchantment of this place. "The light of the Morning - where the Dew resides - The light of Noon - destined for the Wheat - The light of the afternoon - for the flowers - And for the wild cherries - the light of Sunset!" Emily Dickinson. Thus, at every hour a light and an enchantment: the dew, the hay, the flowers, the wild cherries. And always at every hour spaces, mountains, elusive creatures, stones, wind, woods, gentle faces, intense earth that has the scents of the proudest nature. And of man's past here so present, so silent and strong as to leave one stunned.
