Fontana Vecchia

A substantial stone house, originally the village school, located at the end of a hill village

An arched doorway leads to a hallway, off which is a large living room (originally the classroom) with access to a small terrace with views over the thickly wooded surrounding hills. There is a kitchen with fireplace, large bathroom, and storage room. Most rooms have the old cotto floors and chestnut beams, and in general the house retains its original features.

Stone steps lead from the entrance hall to a sitting room with a stone fireplace, and access to a small loggia. There are three double bedrooms on this first floor. The loft space has been floored with cotto, and would be useable for further accommodation and there are cantinas below the house.

There is garden below, terraced, with vines and figs and which offers good views.

The village has shops and a restaurant.
