Things to Do  

Drink or Bath

Drink or Bath, Selvino

 ettenaj Says:  We came across this rather large drinking fountain outside the church, it was that big you could even take a bath in it. But the water was sooooooo fresh and cold. 

Strange but true

Strange but true, Selvino

 ettenaj Says:  Whilst out in the village we noticed this old house, can you see anything strange about it.....look closely at the upstairs window........it gave me a shock until I realised they were only dolls. 

Open air concert

Open air concert, Selvino

 ettenaj Says:  Again we were just too late and we missed the show!!!!! So I had to perform on stage myself (take a look at the piccies, I wont give up my day job!) Looks like a great place for all the family just dont go mid September as it is virtually closed!

de Corso: Towels

de Corso: Towels, Selvino

 ettenaj Says:   The unique quality was the bathroom towels, they were of the same material that you would use for drying dishes. You could not get dry after a shower as these "towels" had no absorption what so ever. I found this really hard as I have very thick hair and I could not get...

Restaurants  

Banana Boat

Banana Boat, Selvino

 ettenaj Says:  We called in here just for a coffee, but then saw they had Banana Boats on the menu, so of course we had to order them, we had quite a while to wait but BOY it was woth it! Titanic , eat your heart out. 

Transportation  

Cable Car

Cable Car, Selvino

 ettenaj Says:  The only way to travel down to the lower villages is to use the cable car, as I am terrified of heights this was firstly done whilst there was a very thick mist so I wasnt able to see out of the car!!! By the end of the stay I was really confident and travelled on it 5... 

Warnings Or Dangers  

Hot Chocolate

Hot Chocolate, Selvino

 ettenaj Says:  This is a kind of warning, but it not dangerous. We went for a drink of hot chocolate and were presented with two cups of just melted chocolate, it was so thick it got a skin on the top, and was extremely sickley and could only be eaten with a spoon. Dont think that... 

What to Pack  

Changable weather

Changable weather, Selvino

 ettenaj Says:   Dont forget to pack a waterproof jacket, whilst we were there the weather changed quite dramatically from sunshine to rain. Jon didnt have a waterproof, but we bought one quite cheaply in Selvino village. Be prepared. 

Off The Beaten Path  

You are here

You are here, Selvino

 ettenaj Says:  As you enter Selvino you will see this monument standing by the roadside at night it looks very pretty when it is lit up. Take a look at my other picture to see what you see when you are leaving Selvino, I thought this quite charming. 

Sports & Outdoors  

Skiing in Selvino

Skiing in Selvino, Selvino

 ettenaj Says:  In the centre of the village there is a dry ski run unfortunatley it was shut when we were there but I bet it is great when it is up and running, there is also an ice rink at the bottom of the hill, and an area set out for children to slide down the hill in a huge...
