The agriturismo with castle and Romanic chapel dates back to the 11th century. The hermitage developed into a centre of high class agriculture with viticulture and olive oil mill. In 1534, the agriturismo was acquired by Cardinal Marcello Cervini, the later pope Marcellus II. It remained in possession of the family ever since. Here, the family usually passes the summer months.
