Set in the hills, with sweeping sea views, this stunning stone farmhouse offers 275 square metres of living space (ground floor and first floor), plus 80 square metres for service rooms and water tanks (basement level). The property was completely rebuilt in 2008 using traditional materials and modern thermal and anti-seismic techniques. The window and door frames are made of varnished solid wood, and the ceilings feature beams and joists of suitably treated and aged chestnut wood, along with handmade terracotta bricks. The floors are laid with handmade terracotta tiles in the ‘Volterrana’ style and treated with a colourless stain-resistant finish. The living room features a large fireplace with excellent draught, whilst outside there is a wood-fired oven built by hand using reclaimed bricks.
