Condition and finishes
The dwelling was an old barn, completely and recently restored by reusing the old stones but redistributing the interior spaces and creating a very solid structure, preserving the rustic Tuscan style with exposed stone exteriors and interiors in wood and natural materials, giving it an elegant and cozy charm. All the beams and floors are made of chestnut wood, the fixtures also but with modern closures and tempered glass. The bathrooms with traditional materials combined with first-rate and designer faucets. The pool sunbathing area with local stone paving, and the edge and paving of the covered veranda in handmade terracotta tiles.
