Today we are going to Piazza Armerina, a municipality in central-eastern Sicily located in the Erei mountains at around 700 m above sea level. I must admit that I was unaware of the presence of this place and I thought it was a square in Enna and not a true natural and artistic masterpiece, known as "The city of Mosaics and the Norman Palio" or "The city of 100 churches". Our meeting is at the Duomo, the highest point in the city. From here a series of medieval streets unfold through which we wander in ecstasy, while to the right and left we are surrounded by Renaissance and Baroque buildings. A Vespa whizzing by a few steps away from us brings us back down to earth and understand that we are in the 21st century. Among these ancient buildings we identify the one where the property we are going to visit today is located, the result of a recent renovation where a large and modern apartment has been created on the first and second floors. Having crossed the threshold through an ancient and austere wooden door, an elegant staircase covered in Caltagirone marble and ceramics takes us to the first floor where the various rooms develop from the large atrium starting from the living room, the large living area with an American kitchen with a relaxation space and a splendid view where we can admire the famous Gagini balcony and finally a study room and bathroom in refined marble. The staircase that leads us to the sleeping area is another element that characterizes the entire house, marble and glass blend together in an extremely pleasant contrast between the classic and the modern. The second floor reflects the dimensions of the one below, but is different in layout and style the slope of the roof. Here we find the three rooms, one with a walk-in closet and the large bathroom finished in a more modern but no less beautiful way. What can I tell you, a few lines are not enough to describe in detail each environment and the characteristics of the materials and finishes, what we know is that if the center of Piazza Armerina is your destination your search will stop here.

Welcome to Ravenna, a city nestled between the picturesque rolling hills of Emilia Romagna and the stunning Adriatic coast, renowned for its mosaics, art, and historic streets that narrate tales of emperors and monarchs.

The common spaces, including the living room and two restaurant rooms, create a small Garden of Eden. The horseshoe-shaped building embraces a spacious pergola, where guests can enjoy breakfast and meals during the summer, overlooking the viewpoint, swimming pool, and garden. The eclectic style of the villa tells a story through architectural and aesthetic details, from exposed beams and tile floors to ancient doors and beautifully crafted marble sinks. Spread over 590 square meters (6350,71 square feet) across two floors, with pergolas and passages reminiscent of an ancient monastery, the villa also boasts over 50,000 square meters (538195,52 square feet) of agricultural land. Perfectly furnished, the villa blends tradition and contemporaneity, with a well-designed heating system, air conditioning, and a 10 kW photovoltaic system with storage for cost optimization. The swimming pool area, inspired by the ancient Roman "Caldarium," offers a rectangular main pool, an arched entrance with hydromassage, and panoramic views of the surrounding fields. The SPA area, hidden for privacy, features ancient barrels, a Jacuzzi, and a Turkish bath. The B&B is thoughtfully designed for success, with a reception area, restaurant space with a porticoed veranda, a fully equipped professional kitchen, and additional unfinished space on the first floor for potential expansion. Experience the peace and tranquility of the countryside, just moments away from all services in a high-level context. Located near Cesena, Rimini, Ravenna, and the Adriatic coast, this villa is a real oasis immersed in wheat fields—a true gem for both personal and business endeavors.

Marina di Cecina, Tuscany, is famous for its sandy beaches, transparent sea and large countryside in the hinterland, rich in vines, olive groves and cypress trees - an area that abounds in both natural and human beauty, ancient, historical and even recent. Fertile ground for those looking for a place to stay, for those who love Tuscany, with its immense sunsets, friendly people and exquisite cuisine. A question. How many is 300 metres? It's a little less than a five-minute walk. And by bike? Maybe half a minute. All this for a simple thought: we are practically at the seaside. The proposal we want to talk to you about today is in fact a large flat only 300 metres from the beach. It is situated in a very quiet residential area and occupies the first floor of a small house. With 4 free sides it presents itself as a solution for those who want a first or second home for themselves, but also for those with business ideas. The entrance gate leads us to the private courtyard on the ground floor while the external staircase takes us up to the first floor. In its almost 115 square metres of floor space, in addition to three balconies, we find a large entrance hall, a dining room, a kitchen with pantry, a living room, two large double bedrooms, a large bathroom and a last room that could be a study, a third small room or simply a walk-in wardrobe. Large spaces and many rooms, which could be further improved and rationalised, perhaps by obtaining a third bedroom and a second bathroom useful both for personal use and in case one wanted to use the property to rent out, an idea not to be underestimated given the high demand and not only during the summer period. Internally it is in fair condition and can be lived in immediately, with central heating and a beautiful fireplace in the dining room, but with some modernisation and customisation work you can make it absolutely unique.

We are in the historic center of Scicli, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where among medieval columns and porches stand the baroque domes of the cathedral. Among oleanders, olive trees and flowers, the scent of the bakery 50 meters away wakes us up in the morning. Here the specialty is the so-called "Testa di Turco", at least double the size of the average, which crumbles into a thousand crunchy and delicate layers of puffy pasta that hide a good dose of cream from the citrus aftertaste. This is the aura of the property below presented, which is spread over a portion of an ancient building and is configured as the ideal for the creation of a reality where, in addition to the scent of the bakery, you can breathe air of modernity, baroque and minimalism. You can think of a holiday home for yourself or for others, for guests or to make income, but also for a primary residence. Why not? Because at the end of the day the location, the main factor of each property, also here it has the upper hand but should not be neglected all the other features. It must be designed as a sort of terraced house, well restored, with parts where, for example, ancient bricks and an old building spring out of the stucco specially, other interesting details such as the medieval arch in the living area, all elements and fine architectural details. Sure, if on one side the house has all some particular elements, on the other there is a final touch to give it its own personality. As an idea, here you could think of how to use the contrast between ancient stone and stucco, installing light wood shelves, decorated with fatty or tropical plants, a beautiful monster for example, perhaps putting some light as can be seen in some modern chic rooms where outdoor bulbs are very popular, the aluminum element in black color, going to work then on the balance of the colors of the house. Let's imagine it in the center of Scicli, both as ours and as a B&B: a living area with a beautiful sofa, the kitchen with a small counter, and the bathroom / laundry room. On the first floor the bedroom, the second bathroom with shower and finally the mezzanine with the exposed roof to be used according to your style. Surely the potential is there, they are at an affordable price, and are located in the center of Scicli, where there is a splendid portion of the building which only your personal touch is missing.

In the heart of the Po Valley, halfway between Cremona and Mantua, Solarolo Rainerio is a town in the province of Cremona that has been able to maintain the typical setting of the rural villages of the area without being overwhelmed by the urban explosion of neighboring realities. Immersed in the countryside, over time has seen the surrounding area enriched with sites with a strong industrial-artisan concentration, for example that of San Giovanni in Croce, which has seen the development of the remarkable production facilities of a well-known company of machinery for gardening, but which has nevertheless managed to maintain a human-scale urban planning and where the centre of spatial distribution still remains the man-earth relationship. It is reachable in half an hour from Parma via the SP343R, in forty-five minutes from Cremona via the SP85 and in forty minutes from Mantua via the SP420, while Bergamo Orio al Serio International Airport is less than one hundred km., Being at the same time secluded but well connected with the main production centres of the area offering an oasis of silence and rhythms of the past to those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of work. In this context is inserted a residence with unique characteristics, which is distinguished by the excellent combination of modern design and references to the past, where the boldness of some architectural choices can be perfectly combined with the references to farmhouses that in the past were the prevailing residential form of the area (see the facade of the living area with large full-height windows interspersed with pillars, which reflect the rationalistic lines of agricultural buildings of the past) reinterpreting them in a modern way. The careful choice of the materials of footsteps by the pool, the walkways, the wise chromatically contrasting with the white of the white of the accessory structures, create together with the careful aesthetic study obtained with the inclusion of LED lights in the essential points of the structure and the pool, a therapeutic effect for the eye and mind. The property consists of two separate buildings joined by a glass structure for a total of over 350sqm. of covered area, spread over an area of about 2800 square meters. A sliding gate next to a pedestrian leads us inside the driveway area in beaten smooth concrete, adjacent to the primary entrance and the pool. From here we reach a space under a porch of about 35sqm. which lends itself to double covered parking space on the north-west side of the building, in which there is also the body of the factory that houses a triple garage of over 56sqm. and service facilities, accessible via double overhead door remote control. Also from the west side, through a pedestrian driveway with spotlights marks step we reach the primary entrance, passing an artistic garden with metal sculptures under a metal beam porch, ideal modern reinterpretation of the arcades of farmhouses once. The primary entrance consists of a passageway, totally glazed at full height, from which we can access the separate structure that houses the living area, or the storage area-central thermal services, or even to the annex area consisting of a large double bedroom with exclusive service from which it is easy to reach the garden and the pool adjacent to the laundry. In the atrium, the stairwell leading to the upper floor, a real load-bearing sculpture that does not hide the artistic inspiration of the designer who wanted it not only as a functional object but also as a decorative motif, houses a sitting room and leads to the living area of the villa through a glass passage and a full-height sliding door that incorporates the stylistic motifs already present in other areas of the house and due to the intervention of an artist who lent herself to interior decorator. The living area is a parallelepiped open on the southern front, and houses the living room of over 56sqm and the kitchen of over 28sqm. which overlook the swimming pool (surface of 50 square meters, LED-lit, with solarium area) and the garden, making everything seamless both visually and in terms of usability, creating a surprising effect of brightness. Inside, the upper floor is reached by a futuristic staircase with suspended steps. To the west is occupied by a master room of 30sqm. with a hydromassage area of another 14sqm. under construction, a master bathroom and a walk-in closet of over 7sqm. All rooms enjoy an incomparable view of the surrounding greenery and a hanging garden above the veranda. The east side opens another room of almost 18sqm. equipped with its own service of about 9sqm. It should be noted that, the arrival of the intention to sell the property suggested to the owner not to complete the finishes of the entire upper floor, to leave more possibility of customization to the new buyer. To conclude, everywhere in this magnificent villa is perceptible the desire of the owner to combine a quality construction of the first order with a desire to reinterpret in a modern key of the local architectural tradition, in a summary that could not leave indifferent.

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?

Leaving the ordinary rhythms of Tregnago behind, a winding road climbs through rolling hills, creating a postcard-perfect landscape where complex woods and meticulously maintained vines alternate. 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. Should our desires change, it reassures us to know that we have invested in something of value, easily resaleable or leasable, in keeping with our heritage and financial goals. In a natural and historical paradise, this wonderful flat will become your living retreat with a unique view of Lake Garda.

Located in the splendid city of Sanremo, renowned for its Italian song festival and the evocative coastal landscape, the property presented in the announcement is a two-room apartment that offers an ideal opportunity for those looking for an accessible and customizable housing solution in a context Interesting. 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. The entrance opens onto an L-shaped corridor which leads to the various rooms. The living room, which can also be used as a dining room, is separated by a wall which, if removed, allows you to open the kitchenette and transform it into an open space with an open kitchen. 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. In this natural context the highlight is certainly the garden, the walls create flat and perfectly exploitable terraces, which allow us to dedicate the spaces with various uses, a relaxation area with external hydromassage, the vegetable garden, the barbecue area or whatever we like it. We cannot forget the practical external shed behind the house, the large cellar and the spacious garage which can accommodate two cars in addition to the inevitable bikes. It's up to you whether it's a holiday apartment or a permanent home, but take the time for a visit to restore your soul and mind in this pleasant place.

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. In addition to a large parking lot, guests can enjoy the fireplace room and challenge each other to billiards games in the reserved area. The sports complex allows both indoor and outdoor activities, in particular there is a large gym with a climbing wall, two bowling greens, a games room with table football and ping-pong, as well as changing rooms with showers. Outside there is a synthetic field for five-a-side football, a tennis court and a mini-golf course. 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 winter, cross-country skiing enthusiasts will find the start of a ring here where they can have an unforgettable experience on a well-marked route through snow-covered forests and large clearings. 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.
