Villa Marone was named after the marun, a large and sweet variety of chestnut, which made our area famous on a national and international level. Villa Marone is nestled in a centennial marun forest. However, it is not totally isolated: it is located within a protected historic village. When we were building it, it was of the utmost importance that we adapt it to the construction heritage and harmonize it with the local old houses.
