Casa dei Fiori is a tiny hamlet that has been restored by
specialist craftsmen, with attention to every detail
thanks to the flair and vision of its owner. Traditional and modern
styles are mixed innovatively to
create a unique country style all of its own. Outside amidst the large
landscaped gardens is a
swimming pool, barbecue and children's play area.
Casa dei Fiori is just a few kilometres from a local village that straddles a gorge. It is the perfect haven for a relaxing holiday but
for those looking for something more energetic it is a marvellous base for walking, hiking,
mountain biking or exploring the picture postcard countryside.
The tiny village church has been restored using traditional materials and has been decorated using
paint effects and motifs to create a beautifully welcoming reception, which sells local wines and
products grown and produced on the property. This tiny hamlet sits high up on the hillside and has
stunning views over the valley below.
