Maison de plan rectangulaire à appareil de schiste et couverte d'un toit à double pan en lauzes, rarissime exemple d'architecture civile médiévale corse. Elle se distingue en outre par un état de conservation qui laisse lisible la plupart de ses dispositions d'origine.

House dated to the 15th century by an inscription (1487) which is said to have belonged to Anton Padovano da Pozzo, ambassador to the King of France, then to the Ferdinandi family. House of rectangular plan with slate construction and covered with a double-sloped roof in slate tiles, an extremely rare example of Medieval Corsican civil architecture. It is further distinguished by a state of preservation which allows most of its original arrangements to be read.
