DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS, STATE AND FINISHES
The villa (346 sqm – 3,723 sqft, 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms) is a large building on three floors:
- Ground floor: large formal dining room with large outdoor patio (150 sqm), spacious living room with antique fireplace and exit to the sun terrace (60 sqm) with additional dining room at the back, service bathroom, technical room and kitchen;

With independent access from the outside, the building also includes a studio apartment comprising living room with patio, bedroom and bathroom, very suitable as a guest or staff unit.

The house was entirely renovated by the current owners in the 1990s, enhancing the original finishes and installing modern amenities such as air conditioning and solar panels. The bathrooms, for example, are finished with pink marble from Portugal, and all the bedrooms on the first floor are equipped with air conditioning. On the ground floor one can still admire a 13th-century Gothic arch that is part of the original medieval tower that stood on the site of the villa.

The property is then completed by a convenient garage (31 sqm – 333 sqft), a greenhouse (18 sqm – 193 sqft) for sheltering plants in winter, and a storage room (15 sqm – 161 sqft) for storing the equipment used in tending the gardens and working the olive trees.

EXTERIOR
The villa has a beautiful 8,500-sqm garden, distributed over three terraces and designed by the famous architect Pietro Porcinai. On each level there are gazebos and nooks in which to relax in tranquility. The 14 × 8.5 m swimming pool, purified with salt, is located not far from the building and is surrounded by a large terracotta sunbathing area, very suitable for breakfasts and poolside aperitifs.
The land around the building is entirely fenced off and accessible through two wrought-iron gates.

The remaining land also contains a small olive grove (about 6,100 sqm), which makes it possible to produce a small quantity of oil for private use, and wooded areas (5.4 ha) that shelter the property from noise and ensure privacy.
