Description of the buildings

Immersed in a wonderful Italian garden, which has been perfectly maintained by the current owners and where anyone can enjoy peace and relaxation by reading a book or simply admiring the wonderful panorama, the villa (9 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms) is a rare beauty jewel which during the Renaissance has made rivals some of the most important families. This is confirmed by the frescoes and armorial bearings depicted in the façade of the building. The house is set on four levels.
- Lower ground floor: Cellar, tasting room, rustic restaurant with kitchen and independent apartment (living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom);
- Ground floor: Entrance hall with frescoed reception, living room with fireplace, guest bathroom and two suites (bedroom, living room and bathroom);
- First floor: Two bedrooms with bathroom, suite (bedroom, living room and bathroom) and closet;
- Second floor: Three bedrooms with bathroom.
This level has a rustic style: The ceilings have exposed beams and terracotta tiles and the floors are in parquet. The ground and first floors features frescoed ceilings and terracotta flooring instead.

The lemon house has been converted into a cozy restaurant (1 bedroom and 2 bathrooms) with professional kitchen and powder room and by an independent apartment with living, kitchenette, dining room, bedroom and bathroom.

Guesthouse A (2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, formerly a barn) is made up of a living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

Guesthouse B (2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms), located not far from the villa and restored in 2009, is split into two bedrooms with bathroom. The lower floor of the building is made up of a few rooms, all fitted with systems and plumbing, with an approved project for the creation of two more bedrooms with bathroom.

Guesthouse C (1 bedroom and 1 bathroom) is a newly-built cottage (2019) amidst the vineyards and is made up of a cozy bedroom with bathroom, ideal for anyone looking for romantic and quiet accommodation.

The property is finally completed by a nice private chapel.

The demolition of a nearby agricultural shed (currently underway) also allowed recovering good volumes (totaling roughly 350 sqm) that could be used to create further accommodations for the guests. With a subdivision akin to the one already adopted for the hotel, one could easily create five more bedrooms, for a total of twenty-two.
