Antonio Abate; an elegant period villa, located in the center of the property and also divided into three bodies, offering a fascinating venue for organizing receptions and ceremonies, but also meetings and conferences; and the adjacent agritourism resort, obtained from the renovation of a big, 20th-century farmhouse.
