Prato Verde

Garden room

Prato Verde is a little gem in the greenery of our estate, less than 40 metres from the villa. It was once an old storehouse: today it is a spacious double bedroom, all in stone, with a lovely little bathroom. Outside there is a furnished patio, sheltered by a young climbing plant, and an English lawn. For anyone looking for privacy, a step away from nature.

At last you step into the room, and the details and care of this small space take you by surprise. The coolness of the stone surprises you, you doze to the song of the cicadas in full celebration, you breathe the country air. You admire the colours of nature and the architecture of time, the dry-stone walls shaped by hand, and the red of the sunset calls for a cool glass of wine.

Studio

Apartment

The Studio is in the building next to the villa’s old chapel, on the main courtyard. It has a small but charming bedroom with its own bathroom and a living room all in stone, where two extra beds can be added, with an old fireplace: its chimney pokes up proudly from the top of the little house. Right next to it there is an equipped kitchen, and a private garden.

You cross the sunny farmyard on a blazing summer day and step into an enveloping space of cool stone. You notice at once that time has stopped. The afternoon rest slips by quickly, and outside the air is already cool again: the garden dances to a gentle breeze, while in the stone fireplace a flame crackles, spreading the scent of olive wood.

Archi

Apartment

Archi was the home of the farmers who, season after season, kept the rhythm of the countryside. You come into the living room with its equipped kitchen. Then a small alcove with two single beds, and the beautiful double bedroom, with a hand-forged iron bed and furniture from the period.

Morning sparkles on the majestic façade and the cicadas celebrate in the shade of the pine wood with a soothing concert. The arches, remarkable works of ingenuity more than two centuries old, welcome you, and straight away you taste a simple but delicious lunch at the old wooden table, in front of the crackling fireplace. The rooms feel warm and welcoming, and the bedroom, simple yet majestic, invites a sweet rest. In the evening, a light breeze keeps company with the slow passing of time, over a glass of wine.

Malvasia

Studio apartment

Malvasia is a large studio under high stone vaults. The one big room holds the double bed, beds for two more guests, the dining table and the kitchenette, among period furniture and arched niches set into the walls. The bathroom is separate, and the French window opens onto the lawn.

Open the French window and the lawn comes into the house. Under the high stone vaults the air stays cool even on August afternoons, and the arched niches keep the silence of centuries. You have lunch among the period furniture, read with the door open onto the green, and in the evening one step is all it takes to sit on the grass and wait for the stars.

Verdeca

Apartment

Verdeca is the largest apartment in the villa: 80 square metres under stone vaults. The long, bright living room ends with a French window onto the garden. There is a kitchen under a great arch, a mezzanine reached by a spiral staircase, a double bedroom with a wrought-iron bed, a small bedroom and two bathrooms.

The long living room runs under the vaults to the French window, and from there the garden is only a step away. The children climb the spiral staircase and take over the mezzanine, while the grown-ups stay at the table, telling each other about their day. In the kitchen, under the great arch, dinner is made without hurry, as outside the sun goes down over the olive trees and the countryside turns red.

Accinni

Apartment

Accinni is on the upper floor of the villa. It has a bright living room with stone walls, an antique chandelier and doors painted light blue, a kitchen, a bedroom with turquoise iron beds, and a bathroom.

You climb the stone stairs and, step by step, the noise of the world stays below. Inside, the light plays on the pale stone walls, on the light-blue doors and the turquoise iron beds. The antique chandelier lights up the dinners, and at night all that comes through the windows is the cool of the countryside.

You reach it by climbing two stone staircases. If stairs are a problem, write to us: we’ll suggest the right apartment.
