The Stay
You'll spend two nights in a sixteenth century mansion that is now a really special and unconventional b&b, with beautifully decorated and unique rooms. Here, you'll get to meet the owners and experience life at a noble family's residence, while feeling right at home.
The Palazzo is composed by unbelievable rooms, salotti, dining rooms and libraries. It is surrounded by a stunning historic park where to take long walks or read a book. Cherry on the cake, for the horses lovers, there are stables and the chance to take riding lessons or horse back riding.
