Description: The stone-built Rustico dominates the 28-acre estate, thousands of trees, total freedom. The house is on two levels, three storeys. Ground floor consists of large dining/living room (terracotta, beamed ceiling) with fireplace, full bathroom, equipped kitchen, pantry room, impressive storage space. An internal terracotta staircase leads to the sleeping quarters on the upper level (first floor): three/four bedrooms and studio. A second external entrance (through metal ladder situated on the upper level) leads to loft on second floor. This needs only partial refinishing to become a totally independent apartment. Trees all around the house, no sound of modern civilization except, twice a day, the very distant roaring of the airplane connecting Bologna to Rome. Element of special comfort: the services of a wonderful couple (living nearby) available whenever necessary. Marco is a most talented gardener and overall fixer, his wife Iole a professional house cleaner and fabulous cook.
Grizzana Morandi (600 m. altitude) owes half of its name to the celebrated painter Giorgio Morandi who found here inspiration for his masterpieces. The estate, however, is closer (3 miles away) to the strategically located town of VERGATO (shopping, hospital, all major services). Distance from international Bologna airport: 20 miles; from major highway (Autostrada del Sole) entrance: 15 miles. Highway connects to Florence in half an hour, to Rome in 3 and half hours, to Venice and Milan in less than two hours.
Ideal for artists, intellectuals, nature lovers. House surrounded by 28 acres of estate, making it impenetrable by human eye. A superb nest, your personal kingdom! Friends and visitors will typically define it a piece of Paradise. |
