I arrived in Cagli with my wife and our four kids last June and stayed at CàBattista where we met with a couple of friends and their families coming there from London.
I didn’t know the place before and I have discovered a part of my country where the beauty of nature combined with the traditions of the mediaeval villages amused us and our friends.
At Cà Battista we stayed at the Sunset apartment, no other name could have been more appropriate, the view from the terrace is breathless, when the sun goes down behind the horizon and the colors of the earth become immediately dark the images of the countryside disappear leaving the scene to the noise of the crickets.
After few hours we felt immediately at home, relaxed and having a drink in the swimming pool offered by Simon, The Queen Of The Place.
The apartment is so comfortable and welcoming, everything is at his place but not too much, the bedrooms are great and also have a terrific view, it is just like home!
The kids liked the place and spent a lot of time outside playing around, they loved the pool, I love my kids……..specially when they have something to do and don’t have time to scream in my hears……., it was good to have them….. .occupied………for hours.
Actually we all loved the pool, especially when Simonetta invited us for a barbeque, we had a lot of staff to kook on the fire that night, fresh genuine vegetables, growing in the country around, if you eat a simple salad there you discover a taste! Good wine, and good company, there were other families there from Holland, Sweden and Denmark, belief me, they can drink…….
I suggest to anybody this experience, with your family, with a friend, alone, go there and you find back yourself! But don’t try to take the sunset apartment for the last week of June, because I want it!
