Our 6 holiday apartments are built into the south facing wing of a 17th century Italian Villa on a family run 400 acre working arable farm called Palazzo Rosso (the Red Palace). The 400 year old building has just been completely and lovingly restored, retaining all original features, beams, solid stone walls, fireplaces etc. There is a 300 square meter, 10 meter high beamed barn for guest recreational use, paved with local stone.
