Cibiana di Cadore, the village of murals above the Boite
Cibiana di Cadore is known for the murals painted on the fronts of its houses, showing local trades and stories and drawing visitors all year round. It sits at almost a thousand metres in a side valley that climbs from the Boite valley towards the Cibiana pass and Val di Zoldo, among woods and Dolomite rock faces. For services, secondary schools and work people head down into Cadore and Pieve, or up the valley towards Cortina.
Buying here means choosing real mountain living: climate zone F, long winters, snow and roads that have to be kept open. Older houses are often masonry with timber sections, and before buying check the roof, insulation, heating system and damp. On steep slopes and near streams, the report checks the official landslide and flood maps at the address.

If the house has had major renovation, ask whether structural work was done and what paperwork exists for it.
