The wonderful and well-kept garden in which the farmhouse is located has an extension of about 3000 square meters with olive groves, lawn, tall trees, various species of succulents, palms, cypresses, roses, wisteria, jasmine, American vine and colorful flowers in each vase.

The structure consists of two farmhouses, expertly restored to keep intact the traditional elements, such as terracotta floors, exposed stone walls and wooden beams. Both farmhouses are surrounded by large private gardens full of roses, Mediterranean plants, cypresses and centuries-old olive trees.

The pools are characterized by a dark ceramic bottom (not a rubber liner that has deteriorated over the years) which makes them elegant and natural. The property is also equipped with a badminton court (with night lighting) and an indoor gym.

The spacious and refined interiors are characterized by large windows that let in natural light, while the stone arches give a touch of rustic elegance.

Date of renovation and type of material used

The most substantial renovation dates back to 1993/1994 with the total renovation of the farmhouse on the sediment and on the existing design. The renovation saw the reconstruction of entire parts and the renovation of the roof with anti-seismic method (reinforced concrete curb and wooden structure). The floor slab on the first floor is

it has been completely emptied and lightened in order to keep the beautiful beamed ceilings and tiles on the ground floor intact; a reinforced concrete curb equipped with dovetails guarantees its anchoring to the walls according to anti-seismic criteria. The oak beams have all been tested and where necessary replaced with contemporary beams. The reusable materials (stone, wood and brick) have been duly used for conservation purposes. The floor of the ground floor has been completely redone with insulation (small igloos) using terracotta tiles handmade in Castel Viscardo. The floor on the 1st floor is in chestnut wood 6 cm thick, not treated with chemical dyes or paints. The fixtures are in double-glazed chestnut wood with an air chamber.
Subsequently, various expansion interventions were carried out with innovative construction criteria (i.e. use of hemp insulation) and the construction of large windows. The last intervention dates back to 2020.
Dependance/cottage: the renovation and conversion of the horse stable (built in wood in 1997) into apartments used as a farmhouse dates back to 2010. The latest interventions are from 2024. The roof is made of ventilated wood. The construction, at the time carried out with anti-seismic methods, is based on the use of steel columns and skeleton anchored to a foundation of about 180 cm deep through steel plates that make it extremely performing and innovative in terms of construction.
The insulating materials used are wood, natural organic insulating agents with a total thickness of 50 cm and Knauf Aquapanel Outdoor panels. The floor is completely insulated. The fixtures are in chestnut wood and double glazing with an air chamber.
All systems are certified (as per the relevant housing authorizations) as they were installed after 1990.
