Before being transformed into an elegant hotel, in the 17th Century the L'Antico Pozzo, or "The Ancient Well" was a convent. According to legend, the namesake well which still exists, was used to hang young virgin women in punishment for opposing the "Droit de Seigneur" law of medieval times.
This "Law of Feudal Lords" gave the nobleman complete physical rights over the young women living on the noble estate. Those virgins whom refused to submit to the lord were left for few days over the well.
In the eighteenth century, the Sala Rosa, or "Pink Room" of the Hotel L'Antico Pozzo was a dance hall that housed the lavish celebrations of the local aristocracy.
