N° 01 — Garden side
Camera della Limonaia
Morning light arrives filtered through leaves. A vaulted room of chalk walls and terrazzo, two armchairs in the shade of the original 1962 lemon tree.

A pensione built by a seamstress, a fisherman, and one stubborn lemon tree.
In 1962, Aurelia Benedetti opened nine whitewashed rooms above the fishermen's cove of Fornillo, stitching every curtain herself. Her grandson reopened the house in 1998 as twenty-eight suites — same arches, same lemon tree, now leaning over a cliff-edge pool.
No two rooms repeat. Hand-cut terrazzo cooled the floors in 1962 and cools them still; the olive beams were salvaged from her husband's last fishing boat.
