THE TOWER SAN MARTINO The house consists of an elegant hall and ten rooms, each different from the others and, although provided with all modern conveniences, still maintaining the atmosphere of bygone times, brought out by the wooden ceilings, beds with baldacchinos, velvets and authentic antique furniture. The majestic Castle of Rivalta, open to the public on guided visits, dominates the village, while the castle gardens and guesthouse are used for banquets, events, meetings, conferences and weddings, which may be celebrated in the 14th-century church of San Martino. The houses, originally craftsmen's workshops and farmers' cottages, have been transformed since the 1950s into restaurants, bars, wineries and shops where local products can be purchased.
