Casale Monastero sul Colle
‘Casale Monastero sul Colle’ has been beautifully and sensitively restored. While
faithful to historical detail, the rebuilding has incorporated the modern refinements
required for comfortable contemporary life. Inside and outside, the prevailing building
material is Montelparo stone, celebrated for its soft golden color. All the floors are
antique stone and tile and the wood accents such as beams, doors and windows are
chestnut.
Hand-forged iron gates, window boxes, fencing and a pergola are some of the reiterated
artistic details.
The platforms where centuries ago the monks processed grapes into wine and the
cantina used by them and later farmers remain intact.
