La Scuola
Cottage, 38 m², Sleeps 2 people
1 bedroom
, 1 bathroom
La Scuola was the old schoolhouse of the village; all children, regardless of age, studied together in these two rooms. It is just outside the castle gate.
The living room has a travertino floor and the kitchen is fully equipped, with full size stove and refrigerator. Air conditioning (available for an extra fee) can also be used to heat in midseasons. And the corner fireplace provides ample heat and ambiance when needed.
The bedroom has a queen-size bed (separable into twin singles); there is a bathroom with shower and a walk-in closet. The cottage has beamed ceilings throughout.
At the rear of La Scuola is a secluded terrace with table and chairs for two, nestled in the trees, that provides a quiet area for dining or relaxing and direct access to the woods.
