Large Farmhouse with land to restore into Holiday Flats with gardens There are two hypotheses for the restoration of these apartments that can be seen from the project.   We have already lined up a reliable geometra and architect to work on the project and we would be able to project manage the restoration should the new owners not be able to be present for the recostruction. As it is part of a Borgo all services are already present and so it is just a case of hooking into the services already present. The Borgo is largely restored and has a great trattoria within walking distance.

Extremely popular bar and pizzeria offered for sale in great location I was really surprised to hear that Bar Cristina is for sale.  This is the main bar close to were we have our offices.  It does great pizza and all the local children have their birthday parties here.  The bar is extremely popular, young kids hang out here, not that there is any trouble, Italy is not like that, and there is great passing trade from motorists and commercial and business people. The owners are selling because they are simply worn out after starting this popular venue just a few years ago. The bar is rented, but comes with 50 M Sq of storage, parking for 30 cars, 270 M Sq of total space, and seats for 55 covers.

One thing though, I expect you to maintain the quality of the pizza, this is our local bar after all!
