This is not just a house.
It’s a breath of memory, an embrace of stone and light.
a silent story that tells itself — to those with a heart to hear it.
Is the house of my father, Francesco Giuliano,
a man shaped by hardship and illuminated by love.
Raised under the stern gaze of his own father,
he worked between stone blocks and family duties.
But deep inside, he nurtured a dream: to have a place of his own,
a home that was refuge, promise, and freedom.
Then came my mother, Francesca
a destiny that brought them together.
But their union was not easy, nor blessed by all.
And so my father chose: love, his path, his home.
That land, that idea, those hands working late into the night… without my mother knowing, this house was born, while my mother was carrying me in her womb.
It was 1975, and that house was already me.
A project designed with a friend who was an architect,
between sketches and dreams, laughter and late nights, joyful barbecues and glasses of wine, amidst Arabic curves and windows facing the sea.
We called it “Fortezza” because it has always been a safe haven,
a stronghold of love, freedom, and true family.
Then, "Azzurra". A name that my wife Rossana who chose it with her heart.
It reminds her of the clear sky, the calm sea, the peace.
It’s the color of the paradise and of relaxation, the very thing you breathe in as soon as you step inside.
And so the full name was born: Fortezza Villa Azzurra.
Here we grew up.
Only true friends came here,
genuine smiles, light hearts.
It wasn’t a home for everyone, but for those who truly knew how to love..
Then life changed everything.
In 2005, my father flew away,
and the house, like us, came to know silence,
the dust of time, the cracks of longing.
But true homes never die.
Since I reopened it, even from afar,
it seems to grow younger with each passing day..
as if it recognized the new laughter,
the suitcases arriving, the light footsteps of curious guests.
The walls still tell..
You can see the signs of time, yes!
but right there the magic is hidden..
This house is not perfect, but it is alive.
And every person who enters it,
if they bring respect and wonder,
becomes part of our story..
Real Shots, No Filters All the photos you see here are strictly amateur, taken by us or kindly shared by our guests. We chose not to use professional pictures because we want to show you the beach just as it is – with its charms and its flaws, no surprises. We believe in honesty, and we think the most beautiful places are the ones that are genuine.
These photos offer an authentic glimpse into the house, captured in everyday moments by us and our guests. The outside facade bears the natural marks of time – we choose not to hide them, as they’re part of the house’s story. Our goal is to share every detail with honesty, letting the atmosphere speak for itself – through cozy spaces, lived-in charm, and genuine care.
