Palazzo Cardinali is disposed on four levels, for a total of 1.060 net sq. metres. Inside the building, three distinct areas are present: - at the ground and first level, the owner's noble dwelling - at the third level, the private suites for the guests with independent access - at the basement, the charming spaces of the old cellars, still intact.

The 254 net sq. metres Ground Floor An old stone portal, facing the main street of the hamlet, frames the entrance of the ground floor, composed of seven wide rooms all around a scenic central corridor with barrel vault. On the right, there are a 30 sq. Metres wide hall, the 26 sq. Metres kitchen with fire-set and vaults that rest on ancient stone brackets; the 25 sq. Metres dining room with access to the arcade and to the private garden, one bathroom and a double bedroom. On the opposite side you find a characteristic studio/library with fireplace and a frescoed arched ceiling, a 13 sq. Metres lumber-room and a 33 sq. Metres billiard-hall, frescoed as well. On the same side there is an internal small courtyard and the staircase that leads to the upper floor.

The 276 net sq. Metres First Floor The wide spaces of the ground floor become here even more majestic, the ceilings reach the height of 4.30 metres and the frescoes become more precious, pointing out the splendour of the noble level. Dictated by the underlying bearing walls, the disposition of spaces is similar to the ground floor, with the central corridor in which the barrel vault, instead of showing the ancient stones as in the lower level, shows off a series of frescoes that scan its course. Starting from the right and going anticlockwise, you find six great spaces: a 52 sq. Metres majestic stateroom with a ceiling in wooden beams, a 33 sq. Metres hall with a completely frescoed, arched ceiling and a 24 sq. Metres characteristic living room connected to the 25 sq. Metres owner's bedroom, served by private bathroom and characterised by an astounding vaulted ceiling with frescoes. Proceeding on the opposite side of the corridor, we find a further 31 sq. Metres bedroom, with private bathroom as well and a third 26 sq. Metres bedroom served by an adjoining bathroom.

The 266 net sq. Metres Second Floor The top floor, though internally connected to the lower ones through the stairway, is presently accessible from the private garden through an external stair that makes it independent. Inside there are nine rooms destined for guests or for accommodation facilities, for a total of five units, what with bedrooms and independent suites, all with private bathroom. The 249 sq. Metres Cellars' Level Served by double access, either from inside the apartment and directly from the outside, the old cellars are composed of two main spaces, 85 and 75 net sq. Metres respectively, to which you add the minor spaces, the old tank under the courtyard and a cave dug underground. Both halls present a completely opened and free space, thanks to the big, suggestive vaults that support its roofs. The property is completed by a small private garden with portico and by an internal courtyard.
