Continuing on, you find yourself in the suggestive portico of the cloister and crossing a whole series of rooms you finally arrive on the panoramic terrace on the opposite side of the building.LOCATIONS The building has a splendid internal cloister, now decorated with a splendid Italian garden (150 square meters) and surrounded by a walkway covered by cross vaults.
