| Castello
di Magona is designed on two floors.
On the ground floor, we find
a very important entrance hall enriched with oil
paintings and furnished with an important 18th
century wooden table. On entering, to the left
of the entrance hall is a small sitting room,
containing antique wooden writing table and bookcase.
At the end of the entrance hall, and to the left
we reach another sitting room with a fireplace
and a bar in the corner, and we can also access
the small and intimate living room richly furnished
with an antique chest, two very comfortable lounges
covered in a rich damask fabric, colour satellite
television, VCR and an internet point where guests
can consult the web at their leisure.
On the right hand side of the
entrance hall, there is a ceramic tiled and well
lit dining room, where guests will enjoy their
buffet breakfast, along with lunch and dinner
should they so choose. At the end of this dining
room, one has access to a much smaller and very
intimate dining room and the kitchen.
The first floor can be reached
via two staircases; one to the left and one to
the right of the entrance hall. At the end of
the first staircase, we come across a lovely suite
with a large terrace (Room 7) . Its décor
is in the scale of green. Beside this suite, we
find two double bedrooms (Rooms 5 & 6) and
another suite (Room 4). The tower can also be
accessed from this wing of the castle, which hosts
a gracious and intimate bedroom (Room 11).
Descending this staircase one
has access to the mezzanine level, where we find
another double bedroom (Room 9), a junior suite
(Room 8) and the staircase which leads to an attic,
it too with a junior suite (Room 10). This room
features exposed wood beams and a commanding view
of the landscape.
The second staircase, to the
right of the entrance hall is a grand structure
furnished with two antique suits of armour. It
leads to the imposing Grand Duke’s bedroom
(Room 3). This junior suite looks out onto both
the front and rear gardens, and is painted cardinal
red. It also contains antique furnishings, including
a 17th century bed head, bookcases and grand piano.
This second staircase also leads to another two
suites (Room 1 & 2), one which overlooks the
southern garden and the other which looks out
onto the northern garden.
On entering the rear garden of
the Castello, via the double glass doors at the
end of the entrance hall, there is a well kept
rose bed and lawn area with comfortable outdoor
lounges; ideal place to have pre dinner drinks
or something cool to drink during the hot summer
evenings. To the left there is a small outdoor
bar and to the right a patio with chairs, tables
and canvas umbrellas where one could easily have
breakfast or dine during the summer months, or
perhaps even have lunch during the first warm
spring days.
At the end of the garden we find
the swimming pool, cordoned off by a gate, which
is able to be used from mid-May to the end of
September. The swimming pool looks over a split
level olive grove and,
during the hot summer hours is shaded by historical
pine trees. There is also a “jacuzzi”
pool that can be used all year round and a nice
“fit space “ with all kind of machine.
This zone also has change rooms, bathroom, small
bar and the possibility of having a light lunch
by the pool.
All the bedrooms are equipped
with air conditioning, mini bar, private safe,
colour satellite television, telephone with independent
external line and modem access, radio and personal
alarm clock. The bathrooms are all hand painted
with travertine marble and equipped with hairdryers,
full set of bath towels and bathrobes.
