Eleven frescoed guestrooms all with en-suite bathrooms hold up to 22 guests and plenty of nooks and rooms for as much or as little solitude as you’d like.
A fully equipped Tuscan-style kitchen makes staying in and cooking a family meal easy while the wine cellar and tasting room is great for pre-dinner mingling. Brides-to-be, there is also a small chapel on its grounds which is open for weddings. Rates begin at approximately USD $30,900 per week and additional amenities or excursions can be arranged for an extra cost.
