Description
This country house was recently renovated as to greet visitors in a functional agricultural farm. Situated on a hill in the centre of the Lamone Valley, approximately 150 meters above sea level, it offers an astounding view of the three hills of Brisighella, on the Rontana mount and on the Romanic Pieve del Thò parish.
The farmhouses were renovated creating two completely independent apartments for the visitors. The first house is of the end of the 19th century while the second, of the mid 16th century, used to be a sheepfold of the estate belonging to the Spada Marquis.
- "Marrucca" house (150 square meters): 6 beds in three different rooms (2 twin rooms and a double), 2 bathrooms, 1 kitchen, entrance, living room and dining room.
- "Tamerice" house (135 square meters): 6 beds in 4 different rooms (2 singles, one double and one twin room), 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, entrance, living room and a dining room.
Both houses have a private garden. There is also a common garden in which there is a swimming pool (12x6 meters).
