Casa Principessa 

Casa Principessa, parts of which date back to the 1700s, was uninhabited for 40 years before being lovingly restored by a group of local artisan builders using the old stones, tiles and wooden beams found within the property. It has been transformed into a charming and comfortable villa with all the modern conveniences needed.

The main house has 3 levels and there is a two-storey outbuilding. Together there are 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a lounge room, sitting room, kitchen, dining room, laundry, equipment room and original wood-fired pizza oven. You will also find a pool and alfresco dining areas.
