Casa Portaterra, is an ancient dwelling with high ceilings crowned with typical star vaults. The house (which takes its name from the ancient Medieval Gate nearby) is located in the characteristic and quiet little square, the heart of the historic center of Scorrano. It is located on the ground floor and has an independent entrance. In the large living room (formerly used as a grocery-grocery store) there are still the characteristic vintage wall shelves, memory of a historical commercial activity for the town. The bedrooms, as well as all the other rooms, are spacious and comfortable. The interior decoration is very nice and is typical of early 20th century homes. It will also be possible to relax and enjoy the cool evening on the large equipped terrace that overlooks the characteristic square. A few meters away you will find a typical bar, a renowned wine cellar and all commercial services (municipal offices, bank, ATM, post office, newsagent, pharmacy, fruit and vegetable market, supermarkets, tobacco shops, pizzerias and restaurants); emergency room, hospital and Carabinieri station, a few hundred meters away.
