strategic and dominant position with a splendid view.

incorporated perfectly, making the whole a very natural and homogeneous structure. The main facade that
opens onto the garden and valley below is plastered in a light colored tone, highlighting the details such as
the hand worked stones at the entrance and the special arched windows which are high and narrow. The
opposite side, that of the tower, has a stone-face façade. From this side, the ancient structure of the tower
marked by arched openings is clearly visible, and this decorative motif is repeated in the panoramic tower,
framing the beautiful view which one has, from the highest point of the villa.
