Do places like this really exist? You may need to pinch yourself for a reality check during your stay in this unforgettable medieval villa. This is a place that somehow manages to sidestep time. Perhaps it’s the mesmerizing views of the
mountains and valley that stretch into the horizon from this hilltop villa that creates this illusion. Or perhaps it’s the blissful mixture of the ancient, modern, and quiet, away from all the noise and cares of everyday life that creates a surreal experience. It’s all certain to enchant.
