The building dates from the late '700 and we have the carefully renovated in 2008, trying to combine respect for the original style with the use of modern green building technologies. On the ground floor of the house there are two "studios" fully equipped and independent: One of 60 sqm. (Called "La Taverna) consisting of a large studio for 2-4 people with kitchen and bathroom One of 45 sqm.

The house is surrounded by greenery; the studios have independent access by a large garden with table, chairs, umbrella and sailing, barbecue and deck chairs.
