L’intervento di recupero ha donato al suo antico corpo di fabbrica ultra millenario, edificato in origine per scopi bellici, un nuovo e splendido vigore, trasformandola in una dimora di gran classe pur preservandone l’autenticità ed il fascino tipico dei casali di campagna. Pietra antica, marmi, travertino, cotto pregiato e il legno di castagno e di rovere, sapientemente adattato per rivestire solai e pavimenti, sono i materiali che danno voce all’architettura di questo immobile di prestigio, tutto rivestito in pietra arenaria, completamente climatizzato e caratterizzato da un elegantissimo salone, movimentato da imponenti arcate in mattoni e da pregiati lampadari, da una grande cucina attrezzata e da confortevoli camere con bagni privati.
