Historic residence near Thermal baths

In the natural amphitheater of Monte Marzano, a small village appears on the horizon: it is Colliano, in the upper Sele valley. In the ancient nucleus, on the main street paved in stone, Palazzo Cardone offers immediately a suggestive and authentic image. All its charm shows up as soon as you cross its magnificent stone portal threshold. A large impluvium courtyard welcomes us and leads us to a window with balcony, access to the hanging gardens overlooking the valley and the mountains. From the internal courtyard, on the right, there is access to a series of rooms equipped for events and catering with a capacity of about 200 guests, while on the right, through a series of stairs and tunnels, we get to the servants' quarters and to the ancient cellars which blend with slabs of living rock which branch off into the various environments, creating reserved corners ideal for romantic candlelit dinners. Finally we arrive in the kitchens, equipped with new and high quality professional equipment. On the upper floors, three independent apartments are divided into a grid of large living rooms with finely decorated fireplaces, studios and rooms on a total area of about 1300 square meters. The interiors are characterized by large rooms with ceilings decorated with stucco and nineteenth-century style friezes. The 8 bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms, elegantly furnished with antique furniture, are spacious and convey warmth and well-being feelings. The ancient residence offers all the most modern comforts: details studied with care for a refined but familiar atmosphere at the same time. The garden also preserves the secret of an ancient spring nestled among the rocks of the mountain on which stands this magnificent residence, enriched by a small chapel where there is a Neapolitan school picturesque nativity. The property is also equipped with a parking for about 20 cars in a nearby outdoor area. A careful renovation, respectful of the original architectural features, has been able to revive the building, bringing it back to the past splendor. The taste, the elegance and the originality make of it an exclusive location ideal for an investment also as a boutique hotel. Palazzo Cardone could become an excellent starting point for those wishing to discover the charm of the upper Sele valley and the many cultural, naturalistic and food and wine itineraries of the Campania region.
