THE BEDROOMS

Four rooms, four paintings, four views

Every bedroom sits under old beams and a terracotta ceiling. Each has its own bathroom, a high-quality memory-foam mattress and air conditioning. Each has a painting chosen for it, and a view you'll remember.

Il Sogno

Years before I found this house, a friend painted the house I dreamed of in Italy onto a wall of my home in England. When I found Casa Anandi, it was the house in the painting. The painting came with me, and it hangs here.

The room faces west, over the olive grove, into the sunset. The bathroom has a bath big enough for two.

L'Alba

The room the morning reaches first. Across the valley, Treia sits on its ridge: brick and towers by day, a line of lights after dark.

On the wall, a Caravaggio-style figure study by Hazel Morgan.

La Luce

Named for its light, which moves through the room all day. The same view of Treia as L'Alba.

On the wall, a Caravaggio-style portrait of a woman deep in thought, by Hazel Morgan.

Gli Ulivi

The smallest of the four, and the closest to the land. It looks straight out over the pool and the olive grove.

The landscape on its wall is the other half of the painting in Il Sogno. Two rooms, one painting.

Stays run Saturday to Saturday. Book direct and arrive to a welcome table of local wines, farm-shop produce and olive oil from the grove.
