A seventeenth-century townhouse in the old town, restored slowly and kept for a small number of guests at a time.
The house
Auren House stood empty for eleven years. We spent four bringing it back: the oak floors, the roof timbers, the fig tree in the courtyard. Now it has twelve rooms, a library and one long table where supper is served at eight.

Dining
One menu a night, written that morning from whatever the market had. Guests sit together; anyone who'd rather not is welcome in the garden.
Breakfast
7.30 – 11.00
In the garden or brought to your room: bread from the bakery on the corner, eggs, fruit, coffee as you like it.
Aperitivo
18.00 – 19.30
A glass of something local under the fig tree, with whatever the kitchen is testing for supper.
Supper
From 20.00
One menu at the long table, three or four courses, written that morning. Tell us by noon if you’re joining.
