Italian Farmhouse Renovation
To appreciate the renovation of this building, the Italian Farmhouse must be appreciated: A "typical" farmhouse means that the ground floor was used as a barn and storage while the living quarters were upstairs.
An external staircase has always been the only approach to the front door on the second floor.
The homestead is located on a hill facing south, to take advantage of the breezes, the sunlight and spectacular views. While the location of the house is ideal when only the upper floor was used for accommodation, the sizeable stair on the south side blocked both the views and light on the ground floor.
