Unfortunately, I have to disagree with Holger. A Pietra is always a good choice, especially as this one only has 0.25l. It's very, very nice here. That's why I've been here often.

However, it is even more beautiful up in the village. There you can order a Pietra for a fee in addition to the free view.
