Timeless Character & Refined Interiors From the moment you enter the property, its unique character becomes apparent. The entrance features original 1920s frescoes and decorative reliefs, volcanic stone flooring and an impressive original granite staircase leading to the upper floors.

The bathrooms are finished in high-quality travertine marble, creating a refined and timeless atmosphere throughout the residence. Ground Floor The main living level includes an elegant living room, dining area, bathroom and an exceptional professional-standard kitchen. The kitchen was designed by prestigious Italian manufacturer Officine Gullo and is equipped to an outstanding standard, including professional refrigeration, a temperature-controlled wine cabinet, two large freezer compartments, six gas burners, a 90 cm oven, lava-stone grill, stainless-steel cooking plate and a high-performance extraction system.
