Torre Camigliati: your stay into History and Beauty<\/h2>\n

A marriage in 1743 brought the Fondo di Camigliati to the Barracco family.<\/strong> Antonia Marano included it in her dowry when she married Stanislao Barracco. At the time, the property extended: “… for 220 tomolate, with arable land, meadows and trees …”. It still retains much of its original appearance today.<\/p>\n

Built in the mid-1600s, Torre Camigliati was transformed and fortified in 1820.<\/strong> At that time, the Barracco latifondo was the largest in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, with about 35,000 hectares.<\/p>\n

The historical archive of the Barracco family often calls it “la Difesa di Camigliati”.<\/strong> Until the 1920s, it was used as a hunting lodge and headquarters for the administration of the Sila activities. It is immersed in a private property of about 60 hectares, protected as a natural and landscape asset of great value.<\/p>\n

Giulia and Guglielmo, the last Barracco to live there, spent the winter at the Castello Barracco in Caccuri and the summer at Torre Camigliati.<\/strong> Their portraits today welcome you at the main entrance.<\/p>\n

In 1920, Baroness Gabriella Barracco rented the Torre to Cavalier Abbati of Cosenza and the building became the most luxurious hotel in Sila, the enchanting Itas Camigliati – Istituto Turistico Alberghiero Silano.<\/strong> For decades it was a popular destination for national and international tourism, thanks to its timeless beauty.<\/p>\n

Today, Torre Camigliati is ready to welcome you for an unforgettable experience: Torre Camigliati, your stay into history and beauty.<\/strong><\/p>\n
