Elegant apartment in a medieval castle - Standing proudly along the renowned Via Francigena is a medieval castle that commands the landscape. Nestled within this architectural gem lies an apartment spanning three levels, rich with traces of its glorious past. Access to the castle is through a grand archway leading into the expansive main courtyard. From there, a smaller gate leads into the inner courtyard, where the old well of the castle still remains. The entrance to the apartment, which is on the first floor, is reached through the original stone staircase and opens onto a characteristic loggia facing the inner courtyard’s battlement, visible from three large arched windows. The layout of the house develops in a linear fashion following the original shape of the structure: on the first floor, the loggia connects to the living room, which leads to the kitchen and then, via a corridor, to the master bedroom and the first bathroom. From the dining area, a staircase leads to the second floor, where a mezzanine, currently used as a study, gives access to the second bedroom. The third bedroom and en-suite bathroom are reached by descending from the living room. Direct access to the castle’s courtyard is a bonus feature of this room and provides additional privacy for guests. The latest renovation, a few years ago, enhanced the historical elements, such as the stately fireplace in the living room, and added elements of modernity and comfort, such as the windows built between the ancient merlons. The house is in a good state of preservation and would only need minor modifications to suit different tastes and furnishings. A technical room with access from outside and a parking space complete the property.
