What Makes Scopitino Truly UniqueBetween 2012 and 2014, a careful restoration transformed this house into a jewel, highlighting its history through meticulous intervention:

The land surrounding the property was enhanced with over 100 meters of retaining walls.A standout feature is the stunning pool, entirely clad in travertine, creating uniquely clear water reflections. The pool's water is sanitized through an advanced oxygen system and features an automatic cover. A private well supplies both the pool and the garden's irrigation systems.Finest Materials, Uncompromising ChoicesAt Scopitino, every material tells a story, and every choice reflects a commitment to creating a lasting, inimitable masterpiece:
