There are various lounge areas with fireplaces for relaxing, a loggia with marble dining tables, along with a separate dining room with spectacular high ceilings and wall frescoes.
Guests of all ages will be kept entertained with a games room featuring a pool table, table football, a PlayStation and more. There’s also a cosy TV room, ideal for enjoying a night in with a film.
