The rooms
The ten rooms keep original timber beams, decorated with nineteenth-century antiques and vibrant contemporary colors.
The natural pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Aquatic reeds and pebbles naturally purify the chemical-free pool. Wooden decking and a garden pergola sit along the water.
The spa
An indoor whirlpool looks through picture windows onto the grounds, beside a Finnish sauna and Turkish bath.
At the table
Tables are set beside a burning fireplace for regional Lombard dinners, and drinks are poured under the courtyard arbor.
How it began
Owner Maria Teresa Vitali rode horses through Limone as a girl before returning to restore this disused farming estate.
