🌙 The Count’s Alcove – Where Time Whispers Through the Hills Hidden in the heart of old Dragoni, where stone alleys twist like ancient tales, lies The Count’s Alcove — a home suspended between history and dream. From its windows, the gaze drifts endlessly across the rolling hills and the majestic Monte Matese, bathed in golden light at dawn and wrapped in mist at dusk. Within these ancient walls, two spacious chambers await: 💫 The Panoramic Room, with its double bed gazing toward the mountains — a place where morning light gently kisses your dreams awake. 📚 The Library Room, where three single beds nestle between shelves of books and whispers of old adventures. The house unfolds through a sunlit kitchen, a sitting room that seems to float above the valley, a cloakroom with shower, and a bathroom that opens its eyes to the mountains — each space designed to cradle peace and imagination. Perched in Chiaio, at the foot of Mount Castello, the Alcove takes its name from an ancient legend — the tale of a mischievous Count who, they say, still roams the hills on moonlit nights, guarding his secret treasure of stories. Entirely restored yet faithful to its soul, The Count’s Alcove blends the warmth of tradition with the quiet poetry of time — a sanctuary for dreamers, travelers, and lovers of beauty.
