Limone Apartment

View from the balcony in summer

Those of you who know me well, know that I'm not a beach person, I'm a mountain person.  That makes living at the foot of the Alps very convenient.  The Motta's have a small apartment in Limone, a ski resort town about an hour drive from home.  I've always loved visiting Limone, but now I love visiting the apartment too because they completely redid the whole thing!  Fabri, Olney and I went up there for a weekend and for the first time I cooked in the apartment because there's a brand new beautiful kitchen and I took a shower for the first time because before they had this crazy sit down bathtub. 

New open kitchen!

Olney gets comfortable on the couch!

Swimming in the river behind the building

We are renting the apartment out!!  You should just think of it as yet another reason for you to visit!!

The kitchen used to be galley style with a propane tank stove and no oven.  Now there's an electric oven and a normal gas stove.  SO pretty!

It takes Olney a little time to get used to the different noises of the house, but if you give him a rawhide chew, he suddenly doesn't hear anything else.  He loves laying out on the balcony, but can't help barking at any passing motorcyclists.  Oh well, I doubt they can hear him over the roar of the bikes.


We always hike the Roman Road down to town and we bring Olney with us stopping along the way to swim in the river.  That is some cold water, but it didn't bother him at all!  He also always wants to get into a bar that he's been in before, but we only do that when it's empty!  He doesn't understand that point.
