DESCRIPTION

The house is our home for half the year.  It has given us and many friends untold pleasure for nearly twenty years.  We have a deep affection for La Dogana and the surrounding area, its beauty, its culture, its friendly people and its food.  The level of furnishing and equipment reflects our standards.  Everything you are likely to need is there - down to special Lillicote soap, large bath towels, swimming towels, medicine cupboard and hairdryers.

The restoration retains many of the original features, including the outside bread oven (now substituted with a stone built barbecue).  

The surrounding area is utterly beautiful.  The local people are amazingly friendly (especially if you can manage even a few words of Italian).

There is a mass of space for 10 people with a variety of places to eat.  No matter what you are seeking, La Dogana is an ideal spot for family holidays and celebrating special anniversaries.
