Our conservative renovation had the goal of making our friends and guests to breath the environment of a manor house, inhabited for centuries by ancient patriarchal family (Passuello) which derived their wellbeing from management of its assets, land, sheep, cows and marble quarries.
Vitarolo, village of Lusiana, was born thanks to transhumance, which began almost two thousand years ago, during the Roman era; it was, and still is, the annual transfer that increases the products of farms bringing the herds and flocks to Lusiana during the warmer months. The Passuello family is a stable and large presence in the hamlet of Vitarolo since 1500 and it is possible to notice that the Villa Fiorita was the residence of the head of the family.
The renovation of the house has only covered a quarter of the large complex that once housed the many parts of the patriarchal family, but you can still find the doors and corridors that once connected the entire building. The effort to preserve at the maximum the originality of the house can be seen in some valuable pieces like the fireplace, the sink, doors and stairs. In a frame you will find a receipt of salt for the sheep, dated September 1900. We kept the structure of beams and staircases intact, even at cost of some sacrifice, like the fact that sometimes is possible to hear noise from other rooms. Each room, and its bathroom, is like a house in the house and you will be impressed with the fullness of your rest, the quiet reading and the general welfare of the person.
Of course, guests will also find all the modern conveniences. An efficient kitchen allows those who love the kitchen to devote him not only to prepare food for the family but also to make jam with the season fruit (local apples and pears are fantastic). Less than a hundred meters from the house there is a square with a spacious parking and Bertiaga restaurant where you can also request a personalized menu.
Unlike the more standardized culture of modern tourism, Villa Fiorita can offer a high quality of wellness and interesting days at any time of year, with the sun and the rain, the heat and the cold and, of course, with the snow. You will find two antique snowshoes hung (the old rackets local snow) to remind you that the territory can be yours with any environmental situation, even by children.
In the attic you will find the third bedroom, which is a paradise for children, for their games and for their study. It will be a nice surprise.
