This large room with vaulted cealing is dedicated to the Oratory of the Annunciation, worshipped by the Picedi family. They bought the castle of Vezzano which stood near the present hotel: according to Count Camillo Picedi Benettini’s testamentary dispositions in 1855 it passed to his nephews Francesco Andrea and Luigi Giustiniani.
The romantic tester bed makes this room particularly charming and romantic.
This room overlooks the village square. It is named after the nearby vault through which people of Vezzano got to the below part of the village and then down to the Magra river’s plain.
The figure of Saint Giorgio is closely linked to the religious history of Genoa, the city that once dominated the Liguria region : he is its patron saint and his devotional images can be found in many buildings of towns subjected to the same control.
Carts, horses, artisans and merchants used to travel under this corn room since the sunrise to go to the various markets, shops and inns of the neighbouring villages, where they traded the typical local products of Vezzano, such as oil, wine and fruits of the earth.
From the two corner windows of this large and bright room guests can enjoy a view over the underlying Regina Margherita square and of the above Pentagonal Tower. Someone thinks that the tower was built by Castruccio Castracani, Lord of Luni. "Pentagonam turrim mira Castruccius arte struxit, qui nulli Marte secondus erat".
This striking building introduces to the remains of the ancient fortified system of Vezzano.
This room is dedicated to a great writer and to his love for the sea. During his short but adventurous life P.B. Shelley often stayed in our Gulf and in 1822 - tired of wandering - he settled down in Villa Magni in S. Terenzo.
This room has a simple furniture characterized by items “returned” by the sea.
