DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING
The cozy and well-structured house (266 sqm – 2,862 sqft), restored in the 1990s respecting the original style of the building, is on two levels and is structured around a 17th-century watchtower. Entrance is through a large porch with a striking peperino stone table and a large wood-burning oven, ideal for outdoor dining. From here you enter a bright living room with a stone fireplace, featuring views that open on two opposite sides. Adjacent to the living room is an eat-in masonry kitchen, complete with fireplace, tiled decorations and spacious countertops.
The living room then leads to a bedroom with en-suite bathroom and private study (lit by a distinctive wood-paned window, which lends a touch of rustic elegance), connected in turn to a second bedroom with en-suite bathroom.
On the lower floor, independently accessible from the outside, there is a spacious cellar (usable as a rustic hall), the technical room with attached service bathroom, and two bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite bathroom. Independent access to the two bedrooms is also ideal for accommodating guests who can then have their privacy.

Much of the house is embellished with ceilings with original chestnut beams, which maintain the authentic charm of the structure; floors are still mostly paved with original terracotta tiles. Some works are needed to modernize the structure and insulate the roof.

EXTERIOR
The property is surrounded by 4.2 hectares (10.4 acres) of land, characterized by the presence of 550 carefully tended ancient olive trees. In addition, the land has areas perfect for the construction of a swimming pool that would harmoniously blend into the natural landscape. The building is surrounded by a large terraced garden full of ornamental plants and ancient trees and offers numerous green spaces ideal for relaxing moments or outdoor conviviality.
