ID-La Vecchia Scuola
Charming Former Schoolhouse in the Heart of Vico Pancellorum - REDUCED PRICE -
Located at the lower edge of the picturesque village of Vico Pancellorum, this unique property—originally the village schoolhouse—offers charm, space, and an abundance of natural light. With its large windows and airy interiors, the home is designed for comfortable year-round living.
The house is arranged entirely on one level, with a spacious garage and cantina (cellar) located below. Until recently, it was a full-time residence and is perfectly suited for either permanent or seasonal use.
A generous entrance hall opens into the south-facing living area, featuring a bright 40 m² lounge with an impressive open fireplace—perfect for cozy evenings. Adjacent to the living space is a fully fitted kitchen, well-equipped for both everyday use and entertaining.
On the opposite side of the hallway are three good-sized double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, along with two bathrooms. One is a spacious main bathroom with a bathtub, while the second is a smaller shower room that also serves as a guest cloakroom.
On the lower level, the cantina is finished with attractive exposed stone flooring and includes a utility area. The property is heated by an oil-fired system, while solar panels provide hot water from April through October—offering an eco-conscious touch.
Vico Pancellorum sits between 555 and 630 meters above sea level, along the right bank of the Lima stream near Balzo Nero. With steep cobbled lanes and traditional stone houses, the village captures the essence of rural Tuscany. Roman origins, a striking Romanesque church, and a renowned local restaurant continue to draw both residents and visitors.
The village restaurant stands out for its exceptional cuisine, crafted by Chef Enrico and complemented by a fine wine selection curated by sommelier and hostess Luisa. Their warm hospitality and imaginative dishes have made it a popular destination throughout the year.
The property also enjoys easy access to the ski resorts of Abetone and Monte Cimone—both of which saw an excellent season this year—making it an ideal choice for winter sports enthusiasts.
