PROPERTY INFORMATION

|
| Many of the local team working on the three year restoration project remember it as a working monastery, a place where they came to church on Sunday, to be married and to baptise their children. As a result, the Monastero has been restored with an attention to detail seldom seen. Any original feature that could be saved has been, and much of the work has been completed by hand.
With family living in mind, the owners have incorporated modern conveniences into the renovation whilst keeping the true spirit of the place. What was the church is now an impressive sitting room with an upright piano while the base of the old campanile is now a large walk-in double shower! There are en suite marble bathrooms, a large American sized fridge, professional range oven and a heated swimming pool. Those with very young children will appreciate the railing around the pool with gated access and the children’s equipment left by the owners for guests including a cot, high chair, two movable child gates for the stairs, toys and DVDs.
The surrounding countryside is spectacular with mountains and gorges which extend into the distance. Landscaping around the pool will be finished for the summer of 2006 and a covered outside dining area with barbecue completes the setting for many happy meals and relaxing in the Italian sunshine.
Situated on the edge of the small village of Pian di Molino means that a small bar/shop for necessities, good cheese, cured meats and fresh local bread is within walking distance. Highly recommended |
