Situated in a setting that has preserved its charm unchanged over the centuries

The property stands between two slopes shaped by human hands into terraces made of dry stone walls, known as “macere” or “macerine.” The main building is listed as a piece of vernacular architecture on the UNESCO Amalfi Coast website. In the book Vaulted Houses of the Amalfi Coast, it is described as follows: “The house (…) assumed its current configuration in the second half of the 19th century, when a more ancient nucleus, possibly from the 17th century, was expanded with new volumes, vaulted in a pavilion style, and the exteriors were decorated with two-tone plaster (…) In the lower level, the cisterns are notable, one of which is covered with a ‘lamia’ roof in the shape of a donkey’s back. The two upper floors consist of rooms with barrel vaults, housing the oven and cellar on the first floor, and residences, not inspected, with a single extradossed skewed vault on the second floor. (…)”. Small arched bridges and large barrel-vaulted, sail-vaulted, and pavilion-vaulted rooms have been restored while maintaining their austere charm, representing a typical example of traditional architecture.
