You will be staying in the XIII Castle which has been carefully restored by us and updated to provide you with all modern conveniences. Having been a 'Palazzo-Fortilizzo', you will at once notice the imposing and impressive stone structure, with walls that can reach thicknesses of over 3mts in some places.

Setting foot inside Palazzo Scagliae, you will admire the handmade XV Century terracotta tiles which give the building warmth and a unique character ? each tile is different! To the left, you will notice the older part of the structure, dating as far back as the XIII Century. Look carefully at the original fireplace in the kitchen, and you will see the date 1186 scratched into its surface. To the right, the building takes on a different look - this is the XVI Century part of the building, with vaulted ceilings, rose coloured stones and many stone arches. Take the stairs directly in front of you and you will come across the remnants of the original rain water collection system, and below the actual lime clad storage tank. In the lower floor you will see the original stone mill and impressive stables with large arched glass doors giving onto the terrace and hot tub area.

The top floor has 2 double rooms, 2 bathrooms with showers and a TV/Lounge room which has been furnished with leather Chesterfield sofas. Bedroom 1 has a small fireplace and ensuite bathroom with shower. The room is furnished with a cast iron double bed, wardrobe, bedside cabinets, a small antique bureau and an antique chaise lounge. Bedroom 2 has a cast iron double bed, wardrobe, bed side cabinets and desk. It also has antique chairs and inlayed cabinet. Here you have fantastic views of the surrounding mountains from 3 arched windows, and a little Romeo & Juliet balcony. The middle room is used as a sitting/TV room and also has a bathroom with shower. This area can be used to relax in and watch satellite TV. It also has a large fireplace. The lounge is furnished with a leather Chesterfield sofa and armchair, as well as coffee tables.

The ground floor has a fully equipped large kitchen with original fireplace inscribed with 1186 and an antique wooden chest used as a breakfast area.

The furthest stable room is used to store any outdoor furniture such as loungers, recliners and umbrellas, and from here you can access the paved terrace and hot tub area. The first room closest to the stairs is the old milling room. You will see the original milling stone on the wall and various collection chambers dug into the floor. The room is furnished with a round table and chairs.
