5 bedrooms detached house, 188 m² Pievepelago, Modena (province)
Description
Sant'Anna, Pievepelago (Modena) Today is a splendid day, in late spring, and the sun shines high in the sky.
We head towards one of those iconic, enchanting and representative places of our Apennines. Places that, both for the environmental characteristics, and for the geographical position, and for the history of the people who have lived there, perfectly embody the "backhoe" of Italy: the Apennines.
The Apennines are, in fact, the areas where Italy has formed and has distinctly characterized itself in its variety of uses, costumes and flavors.
From these roads and Apennines, for millennia, goods, pilgrims and saints have transited, each leaving a trace of their own passage.
This place, with its history, is a witness of the changes and transits of the Apennines.
The owner of the structure is already on the door waiting for me.
"Today I turned this house into a B & B with three bedrooms," she explains, "but there is also a very interesting story here," she adds.
We sit down and, in front of a coffee, start telling me:
"You need to know, Lucie, that this is a very ancient house. The older part, which today includes the private section and the rose bedroom, was built in 1550 for iron processing, which is believed to have been built on a previous iron gate already active in 1281, then abandoned due to the use of the local metal field.
The rough iron came from Tuscany, was worked here and then transported and sold to Modena.
After 12 years since the construction, the historic traces of the iron gate are lost, which later could have become a house.
Testimonies of this house appeared in 1765, when a second part was added, which today includes the entrance, the sitting room for breakfast, the blue bedroom and the cellar.
And guess why?
In those years, here he was looking for gold with silks in the river just 30 meters from the house! The Rio Fontanacce is an auriferous stream of water!
Then, in more recent times, the part that houses the yellow room and the tool shed was added to the house. "
"And today it is your wonderful B & B," I say, smiling. "Exactly", she answers.
Now I'm going to describe the property. We are in Sant'Anna Pelago, a hamlet of Pievepelago very close to Tuscany.
In Sant'Anna there are lift systems and is an enchanting village, much loved by its inhabitants that care for it with love and dedication.
Here you can take the road that runs alongside the river and, after a few hundred meters, find the wooden gate that, once passed, leads you into the B & B.
House, porch and sun terrace on the right, flat and green fields that run alongside the river on the left.
The B & B is fantastic because it is extremely simple and rustic: three colored bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, a small room with living room and kitchen, a small room with fireplace and a private area that includes living room, laundry room, bathroom and attic.
There are also two low cellars and one central heating with pellet boiler.
Fields, woods and an abundance of greenery all around.
Peace, the song of the river and the rustling of the trees.
"And there is more," the owner calls me, "here next door passes the path of CAI "Sentiero Delle Cascate" and often those who travel it stop here for a snack or an aperitif ... it is a plus on the path that really likes and they all tell me!
It is always wonderful to see people stop and appreciate what you're doing.
"forgot," adds "in winter the municipal hallway cleans the whole street for free"
