They are carefully furnished with ancient forniture by the landlady and restored a l'ancienne by the landlord, an antique dealer. Fine decorations contribute to create a special atmosphere.
===============================
The beautiful apartment "Antiche Travi" offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere typical of old houses, thanks to nice pieces of forniture, to the old beams, to terracotta and wooden floors. Every detail has been thought by the hosts, who have a passion for antiques and objects of the past.

The elegant and spacious bathroom has a tub-bath and a large walk-in shower. There is also a separated laundry room.
