The stone farmhouse
is a typical rural Umbrian construction, with ceilings of
chestnut and elm beams and a tiled terracotta floor.
Completely renovated
with the utmost respect it is characterized by a tower
dating back to 1200 with additions in 1700 when it became
habitable.
Outside there is an
oven where bread was once baked and inside the antique elm
manger can still be admired; there are also two stone
fireplaces from 1700 which are used for cooking and also
warmth during the long winter nights.
The house is
encircled by an portico, where animals were once bred to
support the family. In the kitchen there is another
fireplace with a majestic wooden beam and a selection of
copper utensils used by the typical Umbrian family (a
bed-warming pan, bowls to make jam and conserves, etc), a
spinning wheel dating back to 1700 used by women to spin
wool and weave cloth at home; an antique dish-washer is also
in the kitchen; in the 2 bathrooms beautiful basins one in
travertino the other in marble made in 1700.
The floor area is
around 200 meters squared, divided into ground floor and
first floor, which is reached by a small outdoor staircase
typical of antique country residences.
The
farmhouse is furnished with antique furniture from 1600 to
1800 which perfectly complements the ambience. A collection
of small paintings portraying birds decorates the walls,
