We are in Trentino, specifically in beautiful Valsugana, where one cannot help but notice among the foliage of the trees two limpid bodies of water, the lakes of Caldonazzo and Levico. But let us dwell on Lake Caldonazzo a short distance from our apartment. We are in an optimal climatic zone that gives the waters of the lake ideal temperatures for bathing from May to the end of September; after all, it is one of the warmest lakes in Europe. In addition to this special feature, you should know that there are free beaches and equipped bathing establishments on its shores. In fact, the lake is ideal for practicing various sports such as sailing, canoeing, windsurfing, rowing, and water skiing. Those who enjoy fishing will also find a wide variety of fish such as trout, rudd, carp, sun perch and tench. Now, however, we head into the historic center of town, on one of Caldonazzo's main streets, where on the 1st floor of a quaint historic house is our recently renovated apartment. It is accessed by climbing a first flight of stairs, from a small terrace that receives the afternoon sun.We enter directly into the kitchen, where there is no lack of a chimney for the installation of a practical economical stove, great for cooking chestnuts in the fall and for natural heat. We continue into the modestly sized living room, which if desired can also become a second room for those who need extra sleeping accommodations. You will be kissed by the sun as you wake up in the morning. The master bedroom, like the living room boasts a beautiful east-facing window and the size is made more generous by a practical walk-in closet. Very nice and elegant bathroom with the large shower stall and window. Completes the property a large and windowed cellar on the ground floor, in which is also located the boiler for the independent heating of the apartment. Everything redone with good taste, attention to the quality of materials and without unpleasant condominium expenses. You just have to order the kitchen and move into this beautiful and cozy nest.

I have just landed in Sardinia, and what at first seemed like a misunderstanding - the car I had booked was not available - turned into a wonderful opportunity, and so at our meeting on the beach in the Gulf of Asinara I turn up in a splendid white convertible car. Above us the clear sky, the scent of saltiness, the spring sun and the verdant landscape of this unusually rainy spring all around us as we drive towards Viddalba.Formerly known as Villa alba (white village), built on the edge of the fertile Coghinas plain, it lies on the soft green hills of Gallura. A stroll through the streets of the village allows us to admire the local handicrafts, in particular the processing of textiles.In the stalls, the colours and scents of the many agricultural products produced here stand out. Sardinia is the ideal place to practise sports, sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing in the Gulf of Asinara, trekking and horse-riding among the fascinating rural roads in the stazzi on the heights bordering the territory to the east and the paths that cross deep red rocks and take us to the peaks also thanks to the windy 'vie chiodate' . This place is so enchanting that we are forgetting why we met here, the attic apartment on the third and last floor of this block of flats.The flat is designed as an open space, a large white-grey living area with an open kitchen area overlooking the first of the two south-facing terraces.The relaxation area overlooks the other north-facing terrace, which is also bathtub-shaped and therefore covered from prying eyes. Both terraces have two inlets that could become, with sliding structures, convenient outdoor storage rooms, where it is also possible to house the motor for the air-conditioning system for which the flat is already prepared. Two large rooms with sloping roofs have been fitted out as beds, which can comfortably accommodate four, while the windowed bathroom with a large shower completes the floor. The surprises don't end there, a few steps away from the house we visit the Casteldoria thermal baths: its salty-bromine-iodine waters with curative properties gush out at over 70 degrees. But the special feature of this moment is an ancient tradition that has been revived, the Gallurese wedding with poetry competitions, horse parades, singing and dancing.I knew that this visit would trigger in you, too, the desire to have a corner of paradise in this fascinating region where you can retreat to enjoy the sun, sea and tradition, and having a proposal already fully furnished...well, you only have to worry about fixing the date of the deed.

On this splendid spring day, accompanied by the singing of birds, our visit to the Pantanella farm allows us to live for a while in a bucolic context similar to those described by Jane Austin. We are located in the Maremma natural park, a few km from the sea and one of the most beautiful and intact coasts of the Maremma coast and at the foot of the Uccellina mountains covered in thick Mediterranean scrub where nature rules over man. And so while our gaze is lost in the hectares of land in the soft countryside we are about to visit the manor house, an aristocratic country residence on two levels with warehouses and storage rooms on the ground floor and the first or floor dedicated to the home. In the courtyard, in addition to the main building, we find 3 other buildings once used for agricultural and livestock farming, warehouses, chicken coops, pigsties, stables and barns which take us back in time and make us relive the past. The property includes approximately 31 hectares of which part is occupied by a vineyard for approximately 17,000 meters and 100 olive trees while the rest is currently used as arable land and by a forest of over 4 hectares separated from the property where the farmers once lived they supplied wood. The property would be well suited to becoming an accommodation facility in which to combine the production of oil, aromatic herbs and other agricultural products with special experiences in nature in one of the rural buildings or in other eco-sustainable solutions to be included in this area of particular beauty. Not to be underestimated is the presence of high salinity thermal waters underground which could extend the offer of a possible accommodation facility. Close your eyes and imagine yourself already here, you have decided to move to your new life and you have enriched the structure with antique wooden furniture, precious white porcelain objects, cushions and curtains in finely embroidered antique white cotton. Everything speaks of your love for this place from the lavender pots that you placed in ancient wineskins, to the iron lamps found in a second-hand shop and even the white bicycle with the large wicker basket with which you take long walks along the tree-lined avenues. In the morning after a restful sleep you wake up in your wrought iron bed which was once a gate and after having pulled back some ancient embroidered linen curtains you enjoy the panorama of the Maremma Natural Park, with the Uccellina mountains as a backdrop. Agritourism, charming B&B, educational farm, riding school or simply your country residence, there are countless possibilities for developing this property set in a context where the calm rhythm of the countryside dominates and not far from the sea, from the splendid art cities of the Tuscany and its naturalistic wonders.

Dip in the pool? Joy, beauty, relaxation: this splendid villa, even if the temptation to call it a mansion is strong, dominates with so much elegance over what this market typically has to offer, that you would want to say "enough chatter, come and see it!"With an original character, its strengths make it a one-of-a-kind opportunity: whether it be the architecture, the essence of the spaces, the reflections of the sun on the colors of the house, there is an almost palpable air of well-being. The internal spaces divided over three floors plus the basement are extremely large, approximately 650 m2 and bright, offering comfortable and welcoming environments for the whole family but also for any guests if we decide to share this wonder also through platforms such as AirBnB.The open panoramic view of the city of Campobasso, the surrounding villages and the Matese mountains offers moments of absolute relaxation and tranquility. Beauty and elegance, all combined with the very high quality of the materials used in the construction, which guarantee durability and prestige to the property, constitutes the ideal investment for those who care about their quality of life. Located in a residential area, immersed in a private park of over 1 hectare, the villa is located in the small municipality of Oratino but close to the city of Campobasso, therefore offering convenience and accessibility to urban services. We are talking about the perfect combination of city and countryside, but without the stress of the city and without the fear of being isolated. The living area which occupies the entire ground floor, is made up of two large rooms, located on opposite sides of the house, the large living room on one side and the country style kitchen with dining area and relaxation corner on the other, while centrally we find the elegant stairwell, study, bathroom and laundry room. The first floor houses the sleeping area, 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Among all, the double room worthy of a 5-star hotel stands out with a walk-in closet, master bathroom and private terrace with 360-degree views. Let's now go up to the attic, here too the spaces are wasted, a bathroom, a large closet and two large rooms which currently house the gym and the relaxation area, but which can be transformed into bedrooms if desired. The large basement is ideal for creating a relaxation area or even a small wellness centre, adding value and versatility to the property but if you have a passion for cars you can park several in over 100m2 of garage. Clearly, this residence can also easily be adapted in its entirety to function as a Bed & Breakfast, offering an interesting and profitable investment opportunity. Two words also for the outside, the large porch, the swimming pool and the splendid park designed by a landscape architect will offer moments of leisure and entertainment for friends, guests and the whole family. In summary, this property represents an unmissable opportunity for those seeking comfort, quality and versatility in a residential location close to city services.

It is well known by now how much I love to travel and, above all, to observe. Work visits always turn out to be extraordinary opportunities to learn and experience fantastic moments. Today's stroll took me within the walls of Murlo, a small and pristine medieval village nestled in the heart of a wild and unspoiled territory. It captivates because it is far from mass tourism and evokes life from another era. However, what surprises most is the surrounding territory and, in particular, its inhabitants, who bear an extraordinary resemblance to Etruscan paintings. It's not just my observation; I discovered that it has recently been proven that the local population carries Etruscan DNA. This is because it was a fiefdom of the Bishops of Siena and remained isolated for centuries. All of this holds enormous charm for me, but the most incredible experience came during the visit to the property. A fantastic sensation enveloped me, as if my brain were an independent organ sketching out projects at a rapid pace, crumpling and throwing them aside, engrossed in another fantastic idea. I almost seemed to see all those balls of paper scattered disorderly on the terracotta floor. And my heart danced to the waltz of euphoria unleashed by adrenaline. Upon entering the atrium of the first palace, I immediately realized that the term B&B was an understatement, as the structure lends itself to various solutions. Visiting the first two floors already set up to accommodate guests in its 7 rooms with attached bathrooms sparked in me a desire to preserve all the beauty that already exists and perhaps enhance it with some modern furnishings here and there, highlighting the enchanting ancient terracotta floors and tiles, but toning down the colors and favoring white. Once downstairs, the alcoves won me over. Here, one can truly decide to do something in addition to the upper floors and thus dedicate oneself to breakfasts, lunches, events, but I believe that's limiting it; it's primarily a place to share. The niches suggest tastings, possibly of excellent Tuscan wines and olive oil, but one could also focus on products made perhaps with a personal brand, creating a small production. Considering the splendid and enormous fully equipped kitchen, one could think of exclusive pastry-making to delight the guests' palates. But I wouldn't rule out dedicating oneself to catering in the wonderful vaulted halls, with typical Tuscan cuisine products, organizing events, aperitifs, themed dinners both indoors and outdoors, in the splendid garden and by the poolside. Did I tell you that strolling within these walls has inspired me with lots of ideas and images of what could be done? Now, you too can take a walk, breathe this pure air, lose yourself in the idyllic landscape, and think that you could have not only a business but a whole new life for yourself and your family. But when you need your privacy and tranquility, you can always retreat to the annex where a beautiful three-bedroom apartment awaits you. Will you be able to enjoy your spaces and have everything under control? Are you still thinking about it?

After a few minutes, the sign invites you to turn towards Precastio, taking a dirt road that runs along the slope. It is the prelude to a world apart, a territory full of charm and silence. Here, like a treasure hidden by time, stands a small cluster of farmhouses, once animated by the work of farmers and today expertly converted into residential nests. This announcement concerns the head portion, the most precious pearl: not only for its enviable position that makes it totally independent, but above all for its dominion over a private and fenced plot of land of approximately 10,000 square meters, an authentic rarity immersed in the heart of the Valpolicella DOC area. The house has two floors with a total of 160 sqm. To the west, a cozy entrance through a small garden leads, through a corridor, to the heart of the house. To the east, where the vast landholdings unfold, a French window leads directly into the kitchen/dining area, instantly merging the interior and exterior.Once you cross the threshold, you are enveloped in a decidedly extraordinary atmosphere. This is not a simple house, but a refuge of soul with a rustic style, where every corner tells a story. In the center of the living room, an imposing wood-burning stove is the beating heart of the house, a primordial hearth that smells of burning wood. The decor in these living spaces is a triumph of authenticity: solid wood furniture, with its pronounced grain and solid forms, stands out in the living room and kitchen, while dark carvings, powerful lines, and thoughtful lighting create dramatic plays of light and shadow. The unique character of the spaces is enhanced by furnishings that, conceived in perfect symbiosis with the architecture, will remain part of the house. Completing this level is a versatile studio, also furnished with massive pieces of wood that enhance its character, and a bathroom that sports an exposed brick wall, a reference to raw material that completes a picture of unparalleled character. From the living room, a staircase invites you to climb towards intimacy. Plan One: A kingdom of peace. A spacious double bedroom, wardrobe room and large bathroom create a private suite. Here, the wood of the floors marries the exposed beams of the roof, generating a cocoon effect, warm and deeply relaxing, where the noble structure of the house envelops and tells its story.The Green Lungs: Terrace and Estate. From the kitchen, on the east side, you enter a ground-floor terrace, a quiet and sheltered corner, ideal for open-air dinners in complete privacy, lulled by the silence of the countryside. And then, there are them: the 10,000 square meters of land, your private park in the heart of one of the most famous wine lands in the world.A practical garage, storage room and laundry room complete the property. A "traditional" description can never do justice to the magic of this property. The photos will give you a taste, but for those looking not for a simple home, but for a unique place, with a soul, we highly recommend crossing its threshold. Buying this home means entering an already complete and harmonious world, where every piece of furniture is part of a story that continues. It is an invitation to own a piece of history, poetry, and authentic beauty.

It is in the morning that the spring sun peeps into our white living room, gently kissing the diagonal wall and creating a triangle of golden light. Riva del Garda is an enchanted place, a place of the senses, where chic blends with the antique, where mountains brush against the lake and dreams embrace reality. Here, those with a palate for style will find their oasis, between Trentino's Valle dei Laghi, Lombardy and the Veronese region, where the lake dances with the Alps and the snow caresses the olive trees. And it is precisely in this setting that an ineffable call emerges for a dwelling that becomes a sanctuary of the soul, a refuge where authenticity reigns supreme: the interiors of this flat, capable of whetting the appetite of the most refined senses, are a brilliant blend of Parisian style and contemporary aesthetics, enriched by French finishes that verge on the work of art. But talking about the constitution of the property, the dwelling offers four distinct spaces, three of which embrace the quietness of the bedrooms, while one opens up to the fervour of daily life, welcoming the living area to which, to enrich the comfort, are added two bathrooms that offer intimacy and practicality. However, the real jewel is the terrace, overlooking the small harbour and the fortress, an authentic treasure chest of beauty and serenity, which lends an inestimable value to this penthouse in the heart of the old village, amidst charming Habsburg palaces and medieval battlements. In an urban context where open spaces are rare, this precious extension offers a haven of rare beauty and peace to be enjoyed both during the day and at night in a romantic candlelit dinner. The finishes, as expected, are of a high standard, wooden floors dominate in all the rooms while the custom-designed furnishings fit perfectly into the various spaces. Also not to be missed are the parking space located in the basement and a generous wine cellar that thoughtfully houses the skis for the winter and the mountain bikes, ready to explore the majesty of the Valle dei Laghi and Alto Garda. Whether our main residence, a holiday retreat or an investment, this property presents itself as a golden opportunity in terms of economic return. With its three bedrooms in the heart of the town and an outdoor space, the prospects are promising.

Sanremo, as the local inhabitants well know, is in fact also known as the "City of Flowers", it is famous for its mild climate all year round, the elegant villas, the lush gardens and the Casino, one of the oldest in Europe. But leaving aside the location, the apartment is located on the second floor of a four-storey building and enjoys a good south-west-north exposure which guarantees good brightness throughout the day.

From the kitchen you then access the main balcony, perfect for moments of relaxation in the open air. The spaces available then continue with the bathroom, currently equipped with a bathtub and with the double bedroom with its private balcony while in the basement there is a comfortable cellar. The internal conditions are fair, we find in the finishes the typical colors of the late 70s and early 80s tending towards brown and green but with a redevelopment intervention it can be made more modern and suitable for current living thanks to the well-distributed spaces and the comfort of the autonomous heating. A crucial point in favor of the offer is certainly the proximity to the sea which allows the possibility of enjoying walks along the coast and all the recreational activities that the Ligurian coast can offer.

Located in a quiet but well-connected context, it is perfect for those who want to live or invest in one of the most fascinating cities of the Riviera dei Fiori.

After leaving the splendid Ligurian sea behind us, we venture through the bright green shades of the hinterland, until we reach the splendid natural setting of the Val di Vara where we find the municipality of Zignago. The ancient villages of the scattered municipality of Zignago, nestled on the profile of its mountains or collected in small and protected plains, tell us about its medieval history and preserve magnificent examples of rural architecture which has kept the balance of the natural landscape intact with the works of the 'man. This town has ancient roots that date back to the Copper Age, as demonstrated by an anthropomorphic stele statue found at the end of the 19th century. We are in the province of La Spezia in Liguria in a place that has remained almost uncontaminated, surrounded by low mountains that are just over a thousand meters high, an ideal place to spend time in total relaxation and follow various and evocative hiking itineraries that have as their main axis a stage of the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri. Our proposal today is an apartment which with its accessories occupies part of the first two floors in a small house with characteristic bright red shutters. The external staircase that insinuates itself between the building and the garden of approximately 400 m2, all terraced, leads us to the entrance of the apartment, through a characteristic covered terrace. The generously sized apartment is developed on one floor and is composed of a living area with an open kitchen in the central part of the house and facing south, with the two double bedrooms located respectively to the east and west. The main or master, as you prefer, has a private bathroom with large shower and boasts a beautiful balcony overlooking the valley from which you can admire the nearby green mountains. On the opposite side of the apartment there is the second bathroom, of large dimensions, with window and a large and welcoming bathtub, the second large double bedroom and the very practical closet. Internally everything is in perfect condition, the result of a recent renovation, the beautiful Palladian floors, the mirrored wooden doors and the double glazed wooden windows and doors stand out.

What's better than starting the summer by visiting what could become your seaside villa? The location is certainly one of the first things to evaluate and the choice here couldn't be more appropriate. We are in Agropoli, a fantastic place to explore due to its strategic position, perched on a promontory overlooking the Gulf of Salerno. The town began to develop beyond the walls only during the nineteenth century, thus maintaining its ancient center and much of the walls. It is a highly sought-after tourist location not only for its historical heritage but also for its position as it is located within the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park. But it will be the shade of blue of this crystalline sea and its golden sandy beaches that will make you understand that you have finally arrived home. But today we came to discover a charming terraced villa characterized by a truly breathtaking sea view. Perfect for those looking for a modern residence with well-defined spaces and high-quality finishes. After passing the garden, where we also find the well, we are welcomed by a porch ideal for outdoor lunches and dinners, perfect for enjoying the sea breeze. From here you have direct access to the living area, a large open space with open kitchen, living room and relaxation area designed to combine comfort and functionality. The apartment is all on one floor and we therefore find the beautiful room, with en-suit bathroom, embellished with gray Venetian stucco and bathroom fixtures with modern lines including a comfortable bathtub. The room with its large spaces has direct access to the garden from which it enjoys the wonderful panorama overlooking the archaeological area of ​​Paestum and a glimpse of the island of Capri, a unique scenario, from the setting of the sun on the island to the autumn nights when a moon redhead hides in the sea. Next door we find the second room, also of excellent size and both embellished with a walk-in closet. The second bathroom, always furnished in a modern style, has a large and functional shower. The villa has a second porch at the back and a terrace that occupies the entire upper space from where you can admire the Temple of Hera, reachable by a modern iron staircase where the photovoltaic panels are housed. The latest generation house has underfloor heating, air conditioning, electric Venetian blinds inserted into the glass, burglar alarm, solar panels and a 10 kW photovoltaic system with two 30 kW storage batteries which contribute to energy efficiency and environmental sustainability giving total autonomy to the villa. There is also a large and comfortable garage equipped with a walbox for charging your electric vehicles, offering a practical and ecological solution for sustainable mobility. But now let's enjoy this splendid Cilento sunset while enjoying some moktails on the patio accompanied by sliced ​​savory strufoli, cheeses and the inevitable buffalo mozzarella. Now that's life!

Yellow convertible Beetle, music by Bob Marley, around us alternate shades of green, yellow and brown of the plowed and cultivated fields while above us the sky is the color of sugar paper. Before visiting the property, a stop in the center of Gonzaga, a small rural town in the Po Valley halfway between Mantua and Reggio Emilia which gave its name to one of the most illustrious Italian families of the Renaissance. There is always something to discover and the cuisine and wine of the area never disappoints. Today I am curious to visit, I really love old country houses and I like to see how they have been restored. My expectations were not disappointed and after walking down the driveway an imposing two-storey clay brick house with petrol green shutters stood out. A paved pedestrian entrance flanked by multicolored hydrangeas leads us to the finely renovated double-leaf wooden door in pleasant contrast with the glass and iron solution of the door which allows natural light to enter the reception. Yes, because on the ground floor a B&B has been cleverly created with welcoming and large rooms from which you can admire the breath-taking view of the plain, equipped with fireplaces and en suite bathrooms and a large kitchen space to indulge in. On the first floor, with access from an internal staircase, we find the master apartment. Three large bedrooms, a large kitchen, the heart of the house in the tradition of rural families and two warm and welcoming living rooms heated by ancient terracotta stoves from the early twentieth century. We take a last flight of stairs and here we are in the attic, another huge space to design and think about. This farm is a perfect combination of ancient and modern, in which the renovated blends with the recovered in a welcoming harmony that makes you immediately feel at home. Around the main farmhouse, forming a square with the well in the centre, there are 3 other buildings, what I call the farmhouse, a two-storey building which could become the annex with 2 or more residential units, the old dovecote and a further building currently used as tool storage and shelter. The possibilities of use are manifold: I would see well a restaurant activity perhaps using the outdoor spaces for weddings and ceremonies in pure roof style, or expand the B&B with other themed or two -room apartments in the household, or the creation of spaces for teaching workshops perhaps with the addition of animals typical of the farm and why not also keep the existing one by dedicating themselves to dog breeding. For those who love the countryside, this property already has everything you could want, the stars in the window, the ladybugs on the tree and the bottle of white wine in the fridge, all it takes is a little imagination to transform it into your place of life and passion.

We are in the province of Salerno, nestled on a hill where Eboli dozes in the summer heat. The ancient part of the town dominates the last stretch of the Sele Valley, with the city extending at its feet. At the upper part stands the imposing castle, restored according to Vanvitelli's design, and the Capuchin church, built in a magnificent position. Surrounding the Eboli plain, you'll find a varied landscape of cereals, vegetables, vineyards, olive groves, and orchards. We stroll along the picturesque Via Paradiso, a little-frequented road that provides access to a few exclusive real estate properties, from which you can enjoy a fantastic panorama of the city and the surrounding plain as far as the eye can see. Our visit begins with an aperitif on the first large terrace in front of the entrance portico, having left the car in the spacious parking area. Before entering the villa, we let our gaze wander from the Alburnine peaks down to the coast of Punta Licosa, and up to the island of Capri. Accustomed to the mountains in the north, these views enchant me. Feeling the light breeze from the sea and the warmth of the sun makes me want to spend the rest of my stay here. But I promised you a visit, so let's start with the first room, a large and imposing atrium with floors and finishes in elegant marble, Venetian stucco, and crystal chandeliers, immediately conveying the property's elegance. To the right, we find the kitchen, always my favorite meeting place. With its generous size, beautiful fireplace, and exit onto the terrace, it has all the features to become the family's main gathering and discussion center. Also overlooking the atrium is the study on the ground floor, useful for those who can never get away from work, but it can also be transformed into a guest room or a reading and hobbies room. Next door, we find the first of the three large bathrooms in the house, complete with a window and shower. Climbing the splendid exposed marble staircase, illuminated by a series of oval windows, we reach the gallery where weapons, armor, and ancient objects are neatly displayed, giving an almost medieval touch. At the end of the gallery, we find the double bedroom with an en suite bathroom. The choice of the erker, a typical element of Nordic architecture, allows for the admiration of the incomparable panorama, which can be enjoyed even better from the large terrace accessible from a small living room next to the room. Currently, for family needs, the first floor has been divided into two sections. To visit the remaining part, we can access it from the two side terraces/gardens that follow the natural layout of the land, where citrus groves are a constant presence. The spaces and elegance continue to impress with a large living room equipped with an Italian-style billiard table, the third bathroom, and two rooms—one double and one single—both featuring the original erker. Finally, there's a large room with a kitchenette and an oven for bread and pizza, a must in the homeland of buffalo mozzarella. What more can I say? The spaces, the finishes, the furnishings—everything has its own order and elegance from times gone by. Bring your personal belongings and come live in your personal corner of paradise.

Today's is a unique proposal for sports lovers who want to transform their passion into a business. At Passo Zambla, a crossroads at 1246 meters above sea level, between the Brembana and Seriana valleys, immersed in a splendid natural landscape, we offer you a real estate complex where 3 different destinations merge, operational and ready to be used immediately. The property consists of a residential area in the upper part of the complex, which consists of two large apartments on two levels of 170 square meters each, each equipped with a garage and several rooms used as a storage room/cellar. Immediately below we find the bar/restaurant, perfect in every season, with a large panoramic terrace where your guests can eat while admiring the natural beauty of the place in the summer and when the weather does not allow it, the various internal rooms will be the welcoming shelter in which to admire the snow falling on the snow-covered landscape.

Children and adults can try their hand at clubs and balls on a 12-hole course or do tricks on trampolines. The facility can be reached by mountain bike, the most virtuous can retrace the route of some stages of the Giro d'Italia. The surrounding area is full of opportunities.

In the surrounding area there are also downhill ski slopes, climbing walls, an adventure park, paths to peaks and refuges that start directly from the facility. Just 4 km away there is an unmissable green cathedral completely immersed in nature. The possibilities of use, in addition to those already existing, can be further expanded by integrating the opportunities of experiential tourism with sports activities, catering and wellness. The intelligent combination of sports and catering created by the current owners can be the solid starting point for developing further offers by creating a unique environment of its kind and potentially attractive throughout the year and with an excellent catchment area. Also to be evaluated is the possibility of integration or partial transformation into a hospitality facility with the scenario, subject to agreements with the public administration, of an increase in volume with a tourist-receptive destination and why not residential. Are you entrepreneurs? Are you sportsmen? The opportunity deserves your attention.

Have you ever read "the secret garden"? I love the moment when Mary discovers the wooden door and the wonderful place that hides behind it. Today we will give you a similar experience. In Scicli, the most beautiful and photographed building is the Benevento palace. In one side of this splendid building, a door leads us into our secret garden and just as in the story time and nature have tried to recover their space. Within this courtyard, we imagine around the fifties, a small independent house was built and could now become your splendid home. Stand in front of the front door and close your eyes, because this property should be seen with heart and good taste. On the ground floor you can imagine how your spacious living area will transform. The ideal would be to find an antique door, in raw wood simply cleaned and cared for, where you can access a large kitchen with rope shades typical of the buildings of the center of Scicli, the living area furnished in Boho chic style with a large white corner sofa. In this floor we find the first of the two bathrooms of the house with small ancient Sicilian tiles. An important role should be reserved for the redevelopment of the square that can maintain part of the old cobblestones and the remaining a beautiful garden with lamps in the driveway and spotlights that highlight the ancient door and the stone wall. I would highlight the internal staircase that leads to the upper floor with a stone wall exposed by making vertical openings to let the natural light pass through them. The sleeping area should be reviewed so that the master bedroom has an exit to the small terrace between the roof tiles. Here we will be able to place a whirlpool where you can spend intimate moments protected by a wisteria pergola, while the bed takes the coolness from the balcony to which we will have recaptured the ancient splendor. The second bathroom and a second bedroom or study will complete the floor. But this is what I "saw" closing my eyes, and you? How fantastic have you decided to transform this pearl? I can't wait to go back and see what you've accomplished.

You taught me that everything is a sign. So when on Friday, after picking up the ring for our engagement and I went to a nursery to get an old rose in which to hang the little box to ask you to marry me, hearing a builder talking who was looking for a chestnut tree for a new subdivision definitely seemed like a good omen. Now I'm here under your house on my motorbike, you only know that we're going to Castagneto Carducci, there, where we met and fell in love, but you don't know that ours will perhaps be a more important date. During the trip I looked at your smiling face, your rebellious locks peeking out under your helmet. We arrived, you look a little confused while a gray-haired man with a good-natured air approaches us and introduces himself. He shows us the whole lot, 50,000 square meters, an endless expanse of olive trees adjacent to the town of Donoratico and explains to us that the first part involves the construction of a series of villas, each with its own garden of about 150 square meters each. Yes, our first home will be here, if you want, a two-story villa, I who am the less imaginative of the two had to see the plans, but you are already measuring with your eyes the space we will have. Given the way you are made, you first took care of understanding how big the garden will be and 500 square meters is the right size for us, to host friends and to raise first a dog and then children. I already know that the house reflects your way of being, a large single space on the ground floor overlooking that garden in which you will grow your infinite botanical experiments. In the outdoor pergola you have already decided that you will plant some strawberry grapes, your favorite, which will keep us cool in the summer, which will color our autumn days and in the winter with its slender structure will let the light in. It seems to me that you have already decided, we will divide the two rooms on the ground floor for our passions but they will have to have a sofa bed each to host friends and relatives. The one on the first floor will be our room with en suite bathroom and a view of the terrace. You have already told me what the terrace will be like, covered with jasmine plants to hide the hot tub, with a small living room for our first sun-kissed breakfasts. Wandering among the clods of earth I can see everything you are dreaming and describing to me. I already think of our neighbors who I imagine are very heterogeneous, local families, foreigners who will buy to come from far away to spend their pleasant holidays, mature couples who have reached their well-deserved retirement and leave the city for a place with mild temperatures and to live comfortably on the ground floor forgetting about stairs and elevators. A potpourri that will animate the large green spaces of this new residential area. I was more interested in the technical characteristics and from the information they give us the quality will certainly be excellent. Green building, heating and air conditioning with heat pump or underfloor, 6.5 kw photovoltaic system, ventilated roof are certainly some of the most important. Let's look at the projects and the villas are truly beautiful. Like you, I love the large windows and the windows that will be in wood or aluminum reflect my standards while the blackout blinds will guarantee us privacy without having to use curtains, which as you know I can't stand. The wooden floors almost everywhere give atmosphere to the house and so we could walk barefoot. I haven't told you one thing yet, my love, in our project, in addition to the carport I have already budgeted for an outdoor kitchen with barbecue and... the swimming pool for us and our children. I know how you do as soon as you see a body of water, be it a lake, sea or swimming pool and so I thought that our dream had to be complete to allow you to stay in your natural element as much as possible. What do you say love, I have already chosen now it's up to you to tell me if you want to grow old by my side in the shade of a chestnut tree.

Our appointment today is at the Acqua Village in Cecina, from here we will reach the property we are visiting with a walk and then return to enjoy an afternoon of aquatic fun. We are in Cecina in the province of Livorno, in the heart of the Etruscan Coast in the countryside a few steps from the sea and all the services, but mainly from the very long and sandy beach, with a lush pine forest behind it.

In the air finally the scent of autumn that smells of fresh, clean, leaves, blue sky. We travel through the hills on the road that from Tregnago in Val d'Illasi takes us to Rancani, a small rural center in the area. We are surrounded by vineyards, well-kept lawns and trees, the first leaves are starting to turn autumnal, it is the ideal day to visit today's interesting real estate proposal. Turning right before arriving at the village of Rancani, we enter the property and after a few meters we reach the farmhouse. All around meadows and woods for over 12,000 square meters of land.

The second body of the farmhouse, which is spread over three floors, will be like a blank canvas for you to draw according to your tastes and needs. You can create a second accommodation, expand the existing one or dedicate the various spaces and rooms to your hobbies, your work or why not even to a small hospitality business. Let's now take a walk inside the land, where the lush nature envelops us in greenery and tranquility. A path that starts from the farmhouse takes us to the area used for conviviality outside, the barbecue and a stone table speak to us of lunches and dinners with friends and shortly thereafter a small treasure of the property, from the land we see a source of water gushing out that invites us to quench our thirst.

The kicking of the clogs of horses in the white pavement that return after a gallop among the carobs is the music that starts the medieval evening we organized to inaugurate our new farm.In the court you can breathe the crisp smell of bread, while industrious servants make concerts with dishes, you start to admire the wonder of time spent in tables with precious linen tablecloths with wooden plates and pewter cups, Be garnished with the fruits of the earth. The torches mark the paths leading inside and outside the property.As the warm lights of hundreds of candles slowly light up, the herald announces the start of the tasting of the delicious feast.Nobles, servants, musicians and jesters all in splendid medieval clothes move harmoniously like ears in the wind in a starry night of pure magic. The menu is based on products from the company and some trusted local producers.The guests at the banquet are the people who first believed in this adventure and have booked in one of the rooms of our B&B. Have we aroused your curiosity?We are in the heart of the picturesque Iblea countryside that from Modica stretches towards Ispica, between gentle hills and a sea that fades to the horizon, our farmhouse stands.

It seems that time has stopped, and in the beautiful white stone paving find place palm trees, oleanders, prickly pears and other typical plants of the Mediterranean.Many wooden doors overlook this corner of paradise and all deserve to be visited and admired.

The wait, that magical moment between having scheduled a visit to a property and arriving at the destination. Sometimes it is so pleasant to fantasize that instead of reaching the property immediately I decide to prolong this pleasure. Today they are waiting for me in Sassetta, in the province of Livorno and a short distance from Castagneto Carducci. I have decided to make my first visit, the one I make to get to know the property and the owners, before preparing all the photographic documentation and not only, a little vacation. In Genoa a sailing boat awaits me that will take me to Livorno. Already this first part of the trip allows me to smell the sea which for those who, like me, live in the mountains is the air of vacation. After docking, Spartaco, my cocker spaniel, and I rent a car, he doesn't like them very much, he is a dog that loves people and if he could choose he would make me travel by bus or train to smell and meet everyone. We have the same reaction once we arrive at this spectacular late 19th century residence, unlike the bourgeoisie who once lived and moved gracefully in the garden, we start to run, to savor the freedom of the large green spaces. The house watches us from its thousand windows with an austere air, it will think, these two won't take care of me, will they? But those who can appreciate and love a house at first sight will have the right enthusiasm to transmit to those who come to live here. The main villa is divided in two vertically and the part for sale looking at the main facade is the one on the right. It is spread over 4 floors of about 240 square meters each to which are added other small buildings that can be used for multiple uses and a farmhouse a short distance from the villa. With the owners we visit the interior, on the ground floor the living area with kitchen complete with period fireplace, pantry, dining room, living rooms, one with fireplace, utility room and bathroom. Much of the period furniture has been preserved, as well as the finely decorated ceilings, a series of rooms that have remained crystallized in time. The wonderful ceilings with vaults in which the original frescoes and floors have been recovered, each one is a work of art in itself, the ancient Romans would have called them sectilia pavimenta and are characterized by the geometric alternation of different colors and materials. A staircase leads us to the first floor where the sleeping area is currently located where there are two bathrooms and six bedrooms, some furnished in perfect late nineteenth-century style, including dressing tables to take care of your beauty in the bedroom. The second floor is presented as a separate apartment, in fact it has a kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom while the 3rd is a large attic that deserves a new use. Spartaco and I return to visit the centuries-old chestnut park with a total surface area of ​​20,000 square meters that surrounds the property. We take some time to admire the exceptional view of the Tuscan hills. We return to the shed between the stone walls near the entrance where we enjoy a refreshing pomegranate juice and visit one by one all the small buildings that are part of the property, the old chicken coop with the oven, the porch and the large warehouse where the carriages were kept and we already imagine their possible destinations. The last stop is the farmhouse, located on a hill adjacent to the villa and surrounded by greenery that guarantees exclusivity and privacy, it could become a splendid annex or as in the owners' plan 4 independent apartments. The sun is setting and Spartaco and I get back in the car, next destination the Sassetta spa, we end a wonderful day in the best possible way but even more wonderful is the property we visited.
