Monterverdi, Villa Muri Antichi

Description

Details

This living stone village of images and shadows, built in the 12th Century, offers a sense of privacy or community, depending on your desires. Rustic effects and sophisticated comforts. Art and Architecture. Food and Wine. Music and other muses.  A haven of intense beauty, quiet and serene, where both body and mind are nurtured and stimulated.  A lay monastery as Bernard Berenson might say.  In one word, Monteverdi.
