Description
A few kilometers by car from Porta Romana you reach the property. A private and automated gate opens the doors to this wonderful historic property from the 1500s. The atmosphere is almost magical, the gaze is lost in the surrounding countryside; climbing a small staircase you reach the external courtyard and the main entrance of the villa. We are immediately greeted by a large entrance hall and three bright halls that overlook the external courtyard with high windows and a small internal courtyard, precious and intimate, furnished with a lovely table where you can privately enjoy moments of absolute relaxation. Also on the ground floor a large area is dedicated to the dining room, to the study characterized by the imposing and ancient fireplace, to the eat-in kitchen, very large and expertly furnished. A bathroom, a space dedicated to the service staff and the laundry complete the ground floor. The ground floor is connected to the first floor through the important and ancient stone staircase that gives a touch of chic. In the sleeping area you can appreciate six double bedrooms each with its own large wardrobe space and bathroom, a kitchen and a service bathroom as well as two useful rooms that can be used as closets. A large annex with its garden and independent entrance was built for guests or for the service staff. It consists of a large living area with kitchenette, double bedroom and bathroom.
