Somano, Piedmont 12060

Set in a small hamlet between the localities of Somano and Bossolasco, an ancient house dating from the early 1800s which still maintains its period character. The house spreads over three floors and a basement with ancient cellars with direct access to the large garden where it is possible to build a pool. The entrance to the house leads to a delightful entrance hall with a vaulted ceiling which illustrates the building skills of ancient craftsmen. The main floor features a living room, a kitchen, a sitting room, a bedroom and a bathroom. The upper floor contains 5 bedrooms, making the house suitable for a large family or for receiving overnight guests. Part of the uppermost floor, an attic, is suitable for transformation into additional habitable space, for example an additional bedroom with its private bathroom. While in need of a comprehensive restoration, the house is in good structural condition and many of its architectural details like cotto floors and ancient ceilings can be maintained. A perfect property for clients looking for either a permanent year-round residence or a charming vacation home in the very heart of the Langhe wine country. Moreover, for clients considering to launch a hospitality business there is the possibility to purchase a further house in the same hamlet, currently operating as a Bed & Breakfast.
