Il Giardino Grande is a charming country house with 6 rooms that have been renovated while maintaining its original features, materials, and architecture. In the rooms, you will find impressive traditional vaulted ceilings and floors with “cocciopesto” coating, an ancient technique dating back to the time of the Romans. The rooms are named after the trees and plants that grow in the hotel's gardens and are located on the ground floor and first floor with views of the courtyard gardens or the surrounding greenery. Three rooms have spacious private terraces. An extra bed can be added in some rooms and the Ulivo and Loto rooms can be connected to form a family room.
