La Scrittrice

“A woman must have money and a room of her own, if she is to write fiction”
A Room of One’s Own, Virginia Wolf

Within a room of one’s own

The only suite at Corte della Maestà with a private entrance, La Scrittrice is accessed via a small stone staircase just beside the main entrance.
A rose-covered pergola frames the private terrace, offering a floral prelude to the bloom-filled sanctuary within.
The walls of the study and bathroom are adorned with a faithful reproduction of the wallpaper from Virginia Woolf’s London home—an homage to creative freedom.
Spanning 40 square metres, the suite stands on what was once the cloister of a 14th-century church and preserves within the bedroom a rare fragment of a 16th-century fresco.

Free and independent—just as creativity should be.

It’s fair to say that art has never been content within fixed boundaries – and whenever it can, it overflows. Sometimes it slips beyond the frames of paintings and the fringes of tapestries…
