The Casale s name is Copertone from the stream that flows down the hill.
It was a ruin. It has been restored by our parents who designed the interiors and the garden, taking care of the plants and flowers.
Today is a lived, warm and restful house, located on top of a gentle hill in the middle of wheat fields.
It is tastefully decorated to reflect the region and landscape of the countryside.
The house has 2 floors. On the ground floor there is a large living room with fireplace, a kitchen with oven, and dishwasher, breakfast room, a bathroom with shower and a double bedroom
There are four bedrooms upstairs along with two bathrooms with a bathtub.
