It is a very old, solid stone farmhouse on three levels, end of terrace, surrounded on three sides with 200 sq metres of land.
On the ground floor there is a very attractive stable and wine cellar with doors leading directly on to the garden.
Stone steps lead up to the first floor where there are two rooms (originally a kitchen and living space). Both rooms have lovely views.
On the second floor there are two more large rooms, again, with views. The house is attached to another larger house (casa Alfieri colle) which has just come on to the market. These two properties would have originally been part of the same, large house. Both properties are situated In a small courtyard of seven houses, three of which are for sale.
The house itself is a rare find, about 100 sq metres, completely untouched by any kind of remdelling. It has terracotta tiles and chestnut beams throughout which can mostly be re used during the restructuring of the property.
