The hamlet has been recently renovated, but the materials of traditional artisanry, the stone walls, and the ceilings with chestnut wood beams distinguish the accommodations with the charm of ancient homes, rendering the spaces warm and inviting. The homes, all independent, overlook the sea and dominate the shore below from about 60 m above sea level.
