The ground floor has on the left side the arched portal to the water with a keystone, to which two small, rectangular windows adjoin on the right. All arched openings and the lower part of the ground floor show surfaces made of Istrian limestone .
On the third floor there are four rectangular windows with a balcony in front of them. While the two middle ones have a common balcony with iron bars, the two outer windows each have their own balcony.
