Each of the seven double bedrooms enjoys wonderful views over the estate.

The upper part of the Torre Palombara has been converted into a suite on two levels, from which one can access a secret and romantic terrace on the highest side of the villa. On the ground floor, the large and airy living room is enriched by a majestic 13th-century fireplace. From here an March inlaid with antique tiles leads to the dining room where ample windows open to the wonderful views of the valley. The villa is set in an oasis of tranquillity and natural beauty, in a wonderful garden of more than 4,000 sqm.
