History of Casa San Matteo
With its vaulted ceilings, thick walls, elegant arches, and niches, this 18th-century villa stands as an impressive example of classical Mediterranean architecture, complete with a distinctively Moorish influence. Casa San Matteo has been welcoming travellers for nearly a century; indeed, the prestigious Michelin Guide documented its heritage as a guest house as early as 1937
