DESCRIPTION:
The property is located in a sunny basin sheltered from the wind and bordered by a hill which frames it in the shape of an amphitheatre, together with the olive grove and the woods. Due to the historical listing of these buildings, the volumetric characteristics and the existing wall openings have been retained. The architectural project was accompanied by environmental improvements and agronomic interventions to create a garden of subsistence, where every planting is productive for food use, officinal or agricultural.

DESCRIPTION:
Inside, each one of the five guestrooms is different in size and geometry. The common space develops on two levels: it is the heart of the building, overlooking with a large porch the agricultural part of the property. At street level, the warehouses are organized for agricultural materials and laundry.

DESCRIPTION:
The project was co-financed by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (2014-2020) to support the implementation and development of rural tourism activities.
