Torre di Vedetta: Medieval Tower with a rustic farmhouse

Experience history in a rustic cottage with a 13th-century medieval tower in Dovadola. Once a “dovecote,” it has been restored while preserving its original architecture, including the charming outdoor staircase that connects the two floors. The interiors embody the Wabi-Sabi philosophy: a minimalist, natural design that celebrates authenticity. Nestled in the peaceful hills, it offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the valley and is the ideal retreat to escape the chaos of everyday life.
A 7-minute drive from the spa.
