The space Vaulted ceilings, stone fireplaces, original frescoes and antiques are the main elements of this B&B located in the heart of the medieval village of Palaia. The building, which dates back to the year 1000 when it was part of the fortification walls of the castle, was completed in its current form in 1800 and restored a few years ago. It's now a paradise for lovers of historic homes and past atmospheres - not surprising since the owners' grandparents were antique and, getting lost in the hallways and historic rooms, it seems that everything has remained as it used to be. Every morning, you can enjoy one of the best breakfasts in the area. Guest access Guests have access to a shared outdoor garden and can access the room using a key. During your stay Guests enjoy complete freedom during their stay. However, our staff is available at the reception during the day for any needs or assistance.
