DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The villa (245 sqm – 2,636 sqft, 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms) is a countryside building dating back to the second half of the 18th century characterized by stone walls and typical Tuscan rustic style elements, structured on two floors above ground.
- Ground floor: living room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom;
- First floor: four bedrooms with en-suite bathroom and terrace.
The guesthouse (174 sqm – 1,872 sqft, 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms), which is in line with the villa in terms of architectural style, is instead divided into three independent apartments:
- Apt. A (77 sqm): living room with kitchen and two bedrooms with en-suite bathroom;
- Apt. B (51 sqm): living room with kitchen, bedroom and bathroom;
- Apt. C (46 sq m): living room with kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
In front of the villa, slightly lower down, is a small storage room (10 sqm – 107 sqft) where tools and/or instruments for the pool can be sheltered.
EXTERIOR
The buildings are located in the center of a lush terraced park of 8,000 sqm punctuated by stone walls and hedges that form pleasant shaded areas in which to relax on hot summer days. A few steps from the houses, still in the middle of the green garden, is the 12 × 6 m swimming pool with stone sunbathing area. Near the entrance to the property there is a gravel parking area with a shading canopy for six cars, very convenient for guests.
On the south side, the property borders the river and includes a beautiful shaded walkway at the water's edge, which is very attractive and characteristic.
The remaining land is mainly covered by woodland (1.4 ha), one third of which consists of truffle hazelnuts.
