Our history before the Accidental Tourist: Our main home has been in our family for 6 generations: Michelangelo, Galileo, Rodolfo, Giovanni, Majla, Eva and Giotto. It is a watchtower built is 1146, and later became an orphanage, then a farmhouse.  During WWII, total strangers found shelter and many lives were saved in this family villa. As heirs of this abode, we want to honor its vocation: to Treat Strangers as Guests, to Turn Guests into Friends
