Outdoor spaces
A place where time seems to stand still. A travertine terrace with pergola opens onto the panorama and the infinity pool with salt system, solarium, automatic cover and provision for solar-heated water. Surrounded by its 84 hectares of land cultivated mainly with orchard, olive grove with 600 trees, arable land, pasture and forest in addition to the private garden of 5 ha fully fenced embellished with paved terraces.
