The Caves
The Grotte dei Saraceni , after which the Country House is named, are particular structures which were once commonly found across all of the surrounding area, but of which, sadly, only a few examples are to be found today.
The Grotte dei Saraceni are in fact ancient reservoirs made of concrete that, until last century, were used by the inhabitants of the countryside to store their water and irrigate their fields. There are some who actually think that these may have been sacred sites at some point in the distant past, because of the discovery of coins, utensils and human bones in some of them.
