The entrance dates back to the 18th century and opens onto Via Martini, right in the heart of the historic center, offering a prime location to fully enjoy the atmosphere of the village. From the six balconies, guests can admire the Su Maimoni fountain, an 18th-century creation associated with an ancient rain cult that has roots in the Nuragic period and continues to inspire local stories and traditions.

Throughout the year, from the B&B's balconies, visitors can witness some of the most significant historical-religious events, including Holy Week, the Medieval Historical Parade, and the Descent of the Candeliers.
