It consists of a garage (where booking is possible to park cars of medium size, the entrance door is 212 cm wide) on the ground floor, a studio loft on the first floor and a second apartment with both bathroom and kitchen autonomous. The building (to which the house is included) is part of an ancient building, which up until the beginning of the 20th century included the "Convent and the Church of S. Agata" subsequently demolished. In the areas under recovery there are antique frescoes, ancient floors, railings and wrought iron artefacts. It is accessed from via Vittorio Enanuele n. 47 (one of the main streets of the historic center) that is located near some of the most important monuments of the city and is a few meters from the historic Municipal Library, from the Church of St. Anna, from that of S. Ignazio di Loyola, from the Aragonese Castle and a few hundred meters from Piazza DUOMO, Piazza Garibaldi ... The recovery / restoration of the building contributes to allowing our battered old town rich in art, history, traditions .. live and continue to be usable rather than disappear, so we are not just putting so much passion ...

The house is part of an ancient stone building in the process of recovery, containing also vintage frescoes and other features such as ancient floors, righiere ..

Oct 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Driving around the old town isn't for the faint of heart, but once you parked the car, the house is brilliant, with the cosy mountain house feeling. Clean, filled with little things one might need, especially if one is on a road trip. We had coffee, tea, salt and oil, milk and jam for our breakfast already set. Luca, the owner, was incredibly helpful and very communicative. Would definitely go back (with a smaller car ahah) ##### Alice G.
