Paradiso
Paradiso is our stone arched space, with a kitchen, long dining table and lounge area. It is big enough to throw a party or dine with up to 30 people. The name refers to paradise, obviously, because that’s what it feels like when you sit under the arches in the company of nice people. And, Paradiso is the last part of Dante’s ‘La Divina Commedia’, the poet who lived here in 1307.
When we bought Spino Secco, we knew immediately that the vaulted ground floor with pillars would be the heart of our house. The cave was untouched for centuries and used as storage space. We cleared out many containers of rubbish and started renovating. Taking away cement, putting in floors, electricity, and water. Installing lights, a gourmet kitchen, wood stove and a lounge area. The salon is the ideal get together place for groups. Here, under the stone ceilings, we have breakfast and dinner together, dance, drink wine and enjoy ourselves. Separately, we have a multifunctional room that can be used for meditation, yoga, or other activities.
