Description
Of course! Here’s the English translation:
This beautiful fully renovated property is located in Pretoro and, like most houses in this village, it was built directly into the rock. The house is spread over three levels.
You access the first floor via an external walkway, which also serves as a stunning terrace overlooking the valley and the sea. From the walkway, you can enter the main house as well as a convenient outdoor storage room, enclosed by a wooden door.
The ground floor features a spacious kitchen and a lovely living room with a closed wood-burning fireplace. On the first floor, there’s a bedroom and a comfortable bathroom. The third floor, if renovated, offers the potential for a third bedroom, accessible via a spiral staircase that could be conveniently added at the end of the existing staircase.
The house has been tastefully restored, highlighting the original features of the building such as cross vaults, exposed bricks, and wood. Between the first and second floor, there’s a beautiful and evocative sculpture representing the village of Pretoro, which—both day and night—looks from afar like a charming, living nativity scene.
On the ground floor, there is also a storage room, which doubles as a tunnel that connects two parts of the village.
The house is accessible by car via a private lane.
