On the ground floor, there is a reception area, a reading corner and a restaurant where guests can enjoy local cuisine. The upper floors contain the guest rooms, providing guests with an intimate and relaxing stay. In addition, on the lower deck floor, the hotel has a spa that offers breathtaking views of the entire region, even reaching the sea on clear days.
The bell tower as an emblematic element.
During the design of the building, special attention was paid to the bell tower of the local church, which is an important symbol for the village. To respect its historical significance, it was decided to separate the hotel from the bell tower, thus highlighting its importance in the village landscape.
The architecture highlights the traditional elements of the original building through the use of limestone on the facades, with steel plate detailing on the windows and traditional balconies. Inside, the floors have a wooden texture with laminate flooring that contrasts with the limestone walls or painted in various shades.

Contemporary elements to enhance traditional materiality.
A unique feature of the hotel is its staircase, made of fair faced concrete on the underside and wooden steps, together with a railing of black painted steel bars. The interior has been designed as a harmonious complement to the architecture, using rural elements that combine perfectly to create a cosy and authentic atmosphere throughout the establishment.
