| After a long and precise restoration, this beautiful XVIII century building opens its rooms to hospitality.
The stairs that introduce to the house, in typical stone pitch and with inserts of white limestone - XVIII and XIX century - have been perfectly preserved as some ceramic floors in Caltagirone’s style from the same period. Thanks to the tireless local workforce, lounges have returned to their original majesty. The chandeliers that light the frescoed ceilings have been redesigned, from the original ones, by Murano’s glassmakers. |
|
The 12 rooms (4 standard rooms, 3 junior suites and 5 suites) are disposed on 3 floors and are all differently furnished with design furniture, antiques, precious chandeliers and tissues.
Rooms on the mezzanine floor, characterised by vaulted ceiling in limestone and by large arched windows, are decorated with design furniture.
Rooms on the 1st level preserve the original floors and are decorated with polychrome ceiling which recall the colours of floor ceramics.
Murano’s glass chandeliers enlighten the high ceilings of 2nd floor rooms that are all trendy furnished.
Each room is equipped with all amenities: satellite tv, air conditioned, safe, mini bar, surround music, cordless telephone.
The junior suites have got steam shower while the Suites are all furnished either with steam shower or Jacuzzi and tv in the bathroom.
- The suite “Magnolia”, has got a terrace where you can enjoy a candlelit dinner or a typical Sicilian breakfast (with granite) during the summer. In the bathroom, with its gold mosaics, it is possible to relax in the chromotherapy bathtub by watching the play of colours reflected on the dome covered with mirrors.
- The suite “Ginestra”, located on the mezzanine floor has kept its vaulted ceiling of limestone and its bathroom has been embellished with white gold mosaics and a Jacuzzi.
- The suite “Geranio”, on the 3rd floor, with 2 balconies – one in the bedroom and one in the bathroom - is furnished with a king size bed with canopy tent, white armchairs in rococo style and an antique walnut cabinet. The bathroom characterised by satin glass walls is equipped with a corner Jacuzzi and tv.
