the property:
The property dates from the 18th century during the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies is owned by our family since 1830, the new country home which originally had only one storey, has undergone many changes it has been carefully restored throughout in the last decade.
Verdetecnica is located 1 Km. out of town on the top of a small height with an extensive view over the countryside and the coastline. The site is in fact a panoramic terrace overlooking a wide range of mountains on one side and the sea coast on the other side.
