We offer you an interesting journey through the heart of the Italian
Renaissance, a chance to relax, discover and experience old rhythms and
cultures. The "Aquilone", or "Kite", which gives its name to our business,
is a very old toy that can be played with only when it's windy; it takes us
back to being children again and is the highest expression of complete
freedom and tranquillity.
The rooms
B&B Aquiloneis located in a typical, charming, "Belle
Epoque"-style villa with its own garden, easily accessible whether you're
coming by car or by public transport (see map for details). It has three
