Article source: Zeno Pucci + Architects The \”Torre di Baratti – Bio Resort & Restaurant\” is located in the enchanting Gulf of Baratti and enjoys a panoramic position of considerable prestige, with unique views and characteristics, right in the middle between sea and hills, at the foot of the ancient Etruscan village of Populonia . The site is immersed in an extraordinary countryside, a fertile land populated by beautiful olive groves with centuries-old trees of wild beauty, stone walls \”dry\” that rise in the blue sky, delimiting the vast fields creating here and there plots variables, flanked by important remains of Etruscan civilizations, and ancient lookout towers. It is a strong landscape full of signs and meaning, the one where the village of Baratti is born, a gulf of sea of rare beauty, which has maintained that genuine taste of home, and where stands the \”Torre di Baratti – Bio Resort & Restaurant\”, immersed in the colors and smells of the countryside, whose name comes from the particular type of building, born as an outpost watchtower.

Welcoming the guest with a new light that blends with stone, wood and marble, thus giving birth to colors and shapes that live for themselves, thrilling them with every step. Spread over 3 levels, the resort houses 3 standard suites, 2 two-room apartments and 1 suite apartment housed in the ancient tower with a unique view of the gulf. Silent and luminous, the resort’s suites are characterized by elegant Mediterranean-style furnishings, the apartments located on the ground floor with private entrance and private outdoor space are characterized by a retractable modern kitchen-cabinet.

Inside the hotel, there is the homonymous restaurant run by chef Stefano Pinciaroli and sommelier Lorenzo Caponi. The will was to reappropriate a human dimension in total harmony with nature, with a careful eye to harmonize the relationship between the table and what is natural and healthy offers the nature that surrounds it. In equilibrium with the surrounding environment, the project by Zeno Pucci + Architects proposes itself as an architecture characterized by a decisive but gentle form: a volume extended to a floor, half walled and half glazed . Inside the building block, the reception of the resort and the kitchen are located, characterized by a direct contact between the customer and the chef. The glazed part on three sides, allows you to enjoy from within the surrounding nature.

In the evening hours, the pendant lamps, give the environment a soft light, punctual on the tables, leaving the rest of the environment in the shadows, emphasizing the relationship with the external environment.
