The B & B name is inspired by the lion depicted in the heraldic symbol of the noble family of Aragon of Sicily, the Acquaviva family. Our guests, in fact, can admired at the entrance of the house a vexillum, carved in high relief, in which you can clearly see the shape of a tower, a crown and a lion that stands for "valiant protector" of the family and that, in its original version, is just blue.
