Eight buildings are distributed on the 45 hectare owned by the Tenuta, among about 4000 olive-trees and 3000 citrus-trees: the stable (should be operative from June 2008 -with due reservation-), the restaurant with panoramic pool and bar, the reception, 4 buildings where are the apartments and rooms with garden or terrace.
