ISOLALUNGA – DOLCEDO

Enchanting part of a historic village house with a spacious terrace, old oil mill and wine cellar

Step into a piece of history with this enchanting and spacious apartment on two floors in the heart of Isolalunga's old town.

Dating back to the 12th century, its traditional Ligurian style has been lovingly preserved and cherished by its subsequent owners: Bright rooms with vaulted ceilings, original floor tiles, antique doors, and niches bear witness to the past and are complemented by modern and tasteful furnishings. With great attention to detail, the current owners have combined the historic style with modern comforts to create a unique ambiance.

Very charming is the open fireplace in the living room, a romantic wine cellar, and the ancient olive oil mill in the living area on the lower level of the real estate.

Its large terrace is perfect for sunbathing and dining with several sitting areas, partially covered and partially sunny.

Layout
The apartment offers a total area of approx. 195 m² net on two floors. 
The ground floor features a net living area of 110 m² consisting of an entrance area, the newly designed kitchen with partly stone walls, a bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and currently three beds, the master bedroom with a double bed and a walk-in wardrobe and the living room with an ancient brick-vaulted ceiling and an antique open fireplace. There is also the spacious master bathroom with a walk-in shower and a bathtub.

Downstairs there is an open space with an ancient olive mill, the dining area and kitchenette, one bedroom, a bathroom, and a guest room that can be used as a living room or additional bedroom. Due to the hillside location, a private entrance downstairs is comfortable for guests. A romantic gravel-floored wine cellar invites for wine tasting. 

An additional separate cellar/utility room of about 15 m² is close to the house.

Outdoors
The former 60m² courtyard has been recently renovated with handmade cotto tiles and transformed into a charming terrace with various sitting areas, a barbecue, a covered dining area for colder or rainy seasons, and a storage room with a washing machine.

The neighbors have a passage across the terrace to reach the stairs to the first floors, but only one party uses it when they are here several times a year.
