A rugged stone tower built on a lofty hill by the noble Atti family in the late 1300s. The stone entrance hall on the ground floor leads to a large sitting room with generous sofas, a long vaulted dining room that seats 12 and a designer kitchen. On the second floor there are two suites, while the third and fourth floors consist of independent apartments, each with an open-plan sitting room and kitchen, two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and air conditioning. Around the tower are romantic gardens with old-fashioned roses, aromatic plants and mature trees, surrounding the pool and terrace.
