CHARACTERISTICS
OF OUR PROPERTIES
Usually the flats, even though they make part of the same facility, have
different characteristics one from another. In fact, in most of the
cases they were carried out without modifying the original structure of
old villas, small medieval villages, farmhouses, castles and farms.
Often the same furnishings change from one flat to another, even though
they maintain a general style; it will be unlikely that you should find
two flats with the same dimensions and characteristics.
The apartments are fully equipped for the highest number of guests estimated. Moreover it is important to know that, for their own nature, our accommodations are mostly in the open country, and for this reason a car is often indispensable to travel, to enjoy nature, and to reach the artistic towns.

enquire about the availability of cots as not all villas have one. Most of our houses have some slights hazardous feature, be they uneven steps, open staircases, balconies, terraces, ponds, swimming pools, terraced gardens, many of which are unique features of most of these properties and add to their individual character and charm. No young children should be left unsupervised at any time.
