IRRADIANTE

Raimondo, a former Neapolitan gold digger, was able to transform this 18th century villa on the Alto da Sé into a paradise, which had remained in ruins for decades. Today it is an art studio and gallery and a small hotel full of charm with two double rooms (one of which has an outhouse), a suite and a superb two-room loft under the roof. The view, overlooking the old town, is splendid. The luxuriant garden and the decoration are the object of a particular care. The welcome is very warm. An Editor's Favourite!
