2 Bed House/Villa for sale
Capestrano, L'Aquila, Abruzzo, Italy
Full Description
The property is a few steps from the historic centre of the medieval hamlet with view over the castle and not far the Tirino Valley and its river, the cleanest in Europe.
The property is on three levels: on the ground floor there is an antique cellar-barn with a beautiful portal and vaults in old bricks; on the first floor with independent access from the cellar, we find a kitchen with very old fireplace with two lateral burners to cook on fire, a dining room and a small closet; through an internal staircase we reach the second floor where there are two bedrooms.
In the house you can breathe the old time, when there wasn't a bathroom and you used the wood to cook and heat up.
Antique doors and wooden windows, floors of the 50s, from the alcoves to use as closets, all to recover.
A nice garden of approximately 270 sq.m. completes the property.
Capestrano is a medieval hamlet with a beautiful castle of 1200 once belonging to the Medici family of Florence. It has the charm of the antique fortified village, with below the Tirino river where to make beautiful excursions with canoe.
