Perched on a hilltop and on the border between Emilia Romagna and Tuscany, this charming country house has a panoramic terrace view of the beautiful green countryside.
This former farm tower has been remodelled in a traditional way; the elegant colour palette, rustic-style furnishings and beamed-ceilings create a homely and welcoming feel, perfect for a relaxing break. Covering 160m², Abete Bianco has five bathrooms in total and sleeps up to six guests in double or twin bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom with a shower.
The French windows on the ground floor provide the perfect looking glass onto the serene surroundings. From the living room you’ll find a breathtaking view over the valley. The equipped kitchen acts as a social hub with a dining area that also opens out onto the gardens. Climb the exterior stairs to the first floor where you’ll be greeted by a spacious entrance hall, a studio-cum reading room, a double bedroom and two bathrooms. The second floor allows guests to pick between two idyllic views: over the garden and hills from the twin-double bedroom, or over the valley in the second twin-double bedroom.
From the main road, a paved road leads you away from the nearby village to the house, where you will feel whisked away to the quiet countryside. This partially fenced property, surrounded by neighbours’ fields, is a kaleidoscope of green accented with flowery hues. Overlook this effortless view from the swimming pool or the sun beds in the private garden. Choose between dining al fresco under the shade of the pergola or in the quaint one room building which houses a dining area.
Situated on the boarder of Tuscany and Emilia Romagna, this location is an exquisite blend of both cultures - the perfect spot to explore the rich cuisine, the extensive history and a few of their finest vineyards, just 10-25km away! Travel beyond these for a day trip to see the impressive Byzantine mosaics or, if you’re feeling a little adventurous visit the stunning waters of the beach near Ravenna.
