Muse inspiring the name of our guest house, the Limbara mountain range can be admired in all its charm from our garden, it is an inevitable temptation for everyone, a unique, recommended destination, whose beauty remains impressed, with the promise to come back.

From season to season the mountain offers unique paintings, clear waterfalls, natural pools, an innumerable series of fountains from which fresh and healthy waters flow, basins with the most suggestive shapes, rocks with profiles that leave free space for the imagination of the observer, picnic areas and views not easy to describe in words.
