Hotel information

There has been a fortification on this site since pre-Roman times. The hotel’s current structure dates back to the 18th century, when the tower formed part of the town’s defences. Some of the building’s beautiful ancient features are still visible today, including original stone arches and doorways. After the middle ages, the fortification was inhabited by clergymen, in particular Don Gabriele Volpe and Don Antonio Murano, a clergyman in Atena in the second half of the 18th century. The old family chapel still survives to this day and the ancient stairway is also still a carefully preserved architectural feature.
