A bed & breakfast in an 18th-century tower-house, overlooking the Cathedral square. Three independent units with views, steps from Piagnaro Castle.
Exposed structural arches, hand-carved stone steps, vaulted ceilings and original marble-chip floors with floral inlays.
Our home stands on one of Lunigiana's most beautiful Renaissance squares, directly facing the Concattedrale di Santa Maria del Popolo and the Campanone — the bell tower commissioned in 1322 by Castruccio Castracani to separate Pontremoli's Guelph and Ghibelline factions.
Every window opens onto the square. From the rooms you'll hear the bells, watch the warm light on stone in the evening, and sense the rhythm of the cathedral. It is a setting that words cannot fully convey: it has to be lived.
«The Campanone is the first thing you see when you wake.
And it is the last you watch before closing the shutters.»
An intimate unit with bedroom, kitchen/living room and private bathroom. Ideal for couples seeking autonomy in the heart of the old town.
No air conditioning — the 18th-century stone walls keep the rooms naturally cool.
Two elegant double rooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom and direct view over the square. Original barrel and cross vaults, period marble-chip floors.
On the top livable floor, a self-contained apartment with bedroom, living room, kitchenette and bathroom. Designed for families and small groups who value independence, with a sweeping view over the historic rooftops.
The bathrooms have been renovated while preserving the original stone walls: details that reveal the building's age, in dialogue with contemporary materials.
A historic stage of the Via Francigena, town of books, gateway to the Magra valley villages. Everything within walking distance.
