The Graziano family welcomes guests to their B&B, located in a historic building that retains its original late 19th-century features, including frescoed interiors and period architectural details. 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.
The property has been restored while preserving its original style, providing a comfortable environment to experience the city’s history. 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. Additionally, its proximity to the sea, about 15 kilometers away, makes it an appealing spot for those who enjoy water sports like surfing, kitesurfing, and windsurfing.
The rooms, each with its own unique character, overlook both the lively main street and quieter areas. Guests can benefit from a total of ten beds. The B&B is also equipped to accommodate cyclists, offering secure indoor bike storage and charging facilities for electric bikes.
