DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS

The main villa (387 m² – 4,164 ft², 6 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms) is currently inhabited by the owners of the estate and is accessed via a large terrace overlooking the surrounding valley, with views that are nothing short of breathtaking.

The villa is accompanied by a well-kept garden of 6,850 m² laid out on a panoramic terrace and embellished with tall trees, hedges and flower beds. A short distance from the house is a 20 × 4 m swimming pool (ideal for swimming due to its length) and a hot tub with a white travertine platform. The hedge ensures privacy but does not close the view from the garden to the surrounding hills. At the opposite end of the garden, again in a panoramic position just above the olive grove, is the synthetic grass tennis court, enclosed by metal fencing.

The wine cellar (196 m² – 2,109 ft², 1 bathroom) built in 2016, is developed on the hill just below the property’s olive grove. Built entirely underground, the structure is particularly energy efficient as it is easier to maintain ideal temperature and humidity all year round.

Designed using environmentally-friendly materials, the winery allows for a well-integrated workflow from harvesting to bottling the wine.

The tasting area for customers is separated from the processing rooms by sliding glass windows that allow customers to watch the wine being made without entering the actual winery.

The rooms are characterized by original design solutions, with extreme attention to detail and the materials used.

The rooms feature solid oak plank parquet flooring. During the renovation, the walls were restored to their original state with colors and paintings dating back to the years between the 19th and 20th centuries. The ceilings still show the oak beams and terracotta tiles treated with white-colored stucco. The lighting was also designed as a complementary part of this architecture, indirect and integrated into the walls. Materials and details contribute to create a unique and valuable environment.

The property is composed of two independent units, each with its own original finishes, for a total of 4 bedrooms in a really impressive and refined context.

This house is set on the eastern side of the convent, right next to the old church, and is itself split into two separate and independent units connected by a stunning paved courtyard. The property has been fully renovated and fitted with modern systems and appliances.
