THE PROJECT
By the opening of the B&B we would like to promote this ancient site, abandoned for a long time and called Il Conventino, because once it really was a convent, close the little Church of Saint Lorenzo Martire, still open for religious service on Sunday mornings. In the Middle Ages the building was a hospice for the poor, then it became a convent ruled by the monks and later a private house. There used to be a passage leading from the church to the convent, but now it is closed. The church dates back to the XIII century, when someone found a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary. It was hidden under the ground, near the coast, and called the Virgin Mary of Miracles because of supposed miraculous events. Today it is placed on the main altar. On the side altar there is a Christ Redeemer and opposite a Saint Lorenz oil painting. The Church can be opened, under our supervision, for visiting or praying.
