After all, if you have a tower from the 1100s you cannot relagate it at dust collector!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At first, we debated transforming it into a two-bedroom flat. But soon we realised that the real opportunity lay in creating something more <\/span><b>refined, spacious, and unique<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 a place where history and comfort could meet in perfect balance. A place where we could play with elegant details, precious material and most of all with an already beautiful space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over a year of careful restoration later, we are thrilled to open its doors and share this extraordinary space with our guests.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11439 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sandonato.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_8134-2-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sandonato.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_8134-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sandonato.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_8134-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sandonato.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_8134-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/sandonato.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_8134-2-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sandonato.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_8134-2.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/b><\/h3>\n<h4><b>Why \u201cTorre Angelica\u201d?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The apartment is named after <\/span><b>Angelica<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, eldest daughter of Umberto and Federica.
