The home is located a 15 minute walk outside the town of Die. The area is a mixture of homes, gardens, campgrounds, and light industry (soap maker, winery). It is very peaceful except campers across the river sometimes make noise.
A car is not necessary, but it is nice to have for getting groceries and touring surrounding area. River is very close and it takes about 4 minutes to walk to a decent beach.
The town is small but lively in the summertime. Farmers market every Wednesday and Saturday.
15-20 minute walk to train station.
