Junior Suite ACI & GALATEA

Travel along the beautiful Riviera of the cyclops made famous by the story of Aci and Galatea. You enter the mythological story stared upon by the lampshade resembling the single eye of the cyclops, characterized by his variable chromatic shades for his agitated state of mind alternating between demented hatred for Aci the shepherd and the love for Galatea the nymph. Aci and Galatea A fantasy layout, where amongst ancient supporting struts that bind the lovers, and, Queen Size Beds that exist in torment through the perpetual separation but unity, you can almost hear, between whispers and sighs, through a brass auricular and nearby periscope the hoarse voice of Polyphemus, the cyclops, that emerges from the market downstairs. The fateful hiss of the boulder that shatters the young Acis who, thanks to the gods re-emerges as a stream, this vision is collected via the mirrors linked to the metamorphosis of the nymph Galatea in an everlasting representation of their being together. We can breathe their harmony in the embrace of the brass lights and the entanglement of their cables, stared by bedside tables with glass eyes. And then you progress in the journey of Aci, now transformed into a river, from which the name of many villages along the coast originates, into the ambience of the bathroom between waves of “cementina” tiles (19th century concrete tiles), flowing taps and suggestive shower columns, in the white solarium of the coast in the summer.
