The Vineyard Cottage: (see photos below)
In 1998, we bought a hilltop property with a spectacular view. There was a little brick barn set in the
middle of the old vineyard, which we converted into a house, for our international friends and guests.
The barn’s exterior changed very little in the renovation, but, inside we built a completely new vacation
house, designed to be comfortable and easy to maintain. Plumbing, heating, and electricity are all modern.

The house is located at the end of a quiet, private lane—two minutes walk to the shops, but in a green and
private setting. Entering from the gated courtyard, the GROUND LEVEL: (50sq. mt./ 465 sq.ft.) has an
open floor plan: kitchen, dining, and living areas and a half bath. Off the living area, there is a shady patio
and panoramic garden. FIRST FLOOR:(50 sq. mt./ 465 sq. ft.): We divided the old corn loft into two
bedrooms and a full bath with tub/shower. The bedrooms; one with a queen bed and the other with two
single beds, are placed to catch the summer breezes and the vista. From their balcony one can see
hundreds of villages, vineyards, and the sun setting behind the Alps. LOFT: up a flight of steep stairs,
under the eaves is another 40 sq. mt. (372 sq. ft.) of space for additional beds or studio—with the best
view of all.

The house is furnished in comfortable, classic style and is equipt with: kitchen appliances (refrigerator,
stove/oven, microwave, coffee maker), central heat system, ceiling fans, dishes/glasses/flatware/utensils,
washer, hairdryer, linens, fixed phone line, fax machine, free satellite TV channels, VCR/DVD with a
library of films (especially for children) and a collection of local information and books in English.
Outside there is a barbeque, garden furniture and umbrella, child’s swing and playhouse, and a pergola in
the vineyard.
