The Old Chapel:

This beautiful building truly was a chapel, built on the border of the wooded park which surrounds the hotel and once used only for retreat by the monks.

After many years of total neglect, it has been brought back to its original aspects and now contains the hotel's most private and secluded room, a true honeymooners' hideaway.

From the terrace in the front, a space twice as big as the room itself measuring 50 square metres (525 square feet), the view is truly breathtaking and it expands forever; and from the bed itself the view is no less.

The terrace extends with a paved path toward another still more intimate belvedere called 'The Observatory', which leaves one speechless at the beauty of the view.

The interior:

Access is secured from the Italian Garden, up a flight of stone steps or up a path crowned by seasonal flowers - a true home away from home.

This is the only room in the hotel which features a ceiling of solid wood beams and handmade cotto tiles, which are a charming and well-balanced contrast to the vaulted ceiling of the bathroom, frescoed with sky, clouds and the Villa's Lion.

The bathroom features a comfortable bathtub, walk-in shower, double Carrara vanities, hairdryer, weighing scales and the softest towels in the world.
