San Cassiano is made up of several hamlets. I decided to explore one of the upper villages, Cappella. Look for the sign on the left as you come towards San Cassiano from La Villa.

Cappella is a pretty collection of well kept houses under the looming, mist covered mountain behind it. Of course it is not always covered in mist, but on a chilly winter day it looks a bit spooky with its cloudy cover.

It is possible to drive up into the village, but I chose to leave my car at the bottom and walk up. Come with me and see Cappella.

I found a couple of lovely green doors for my collection as well as the little one above.

I think this must be the old communal water supply and washing area.

I love the old stone walls.

Some cachi were left behind on the trees.

I found an excellent renovator’s delight. It just needs a new roof and a little bit of work on the interior.

There is always a cat or 2.

And some interesting garden decoration.

The views are always wonderful from the mountain villages.

I want to come back to see the village in spring, when all the trees are green.

I spotted a sign for the next hamlet…another day.
