Notes
The steps to the mezzanine floor which accommodates the 3rd and 4th person are steep and the ceiling on this level is low in places (1.20 to 1.80 meters) making it unsuitable for young children or the elderly. Montefienali is on a hill side so there are slopes and stairs to get to and from the car park and pool of the hamlet.
