Pilari apartments are in the ancient village that is the farm heartland and its origins are lost in the past. The oldest part of the village was built as a watch tower of Pierle castle near the XIII century. This castle was a very important fortress for Pierle valley and now it is a very important sign of the history of the valley. The watch tower base was chiseled in the rock and you can still see this hard work in the wall of the cellar. During the time the tower became a farm house and the owner added other rooms so the house "grew". The last part was built in the 1922 and it is our house.

The house has been restored and the apartment is in the rear of the farmhouse and since some years ago it once was the house of the last farm worker. This apartment is called CASTAGNOLO because this was the nickname of this person.

In the garden, that surrounds the apartment, there is the swimming pool (12 metres x 6 metres 1,5 metres deep) with jacuzzi.
