When a French-Greek couple of architects redesign a flat in a historic palazzo in a picturesque Italian village, the result is a living environment that uniquely blends history, architectural sophistication and contemporary comfort.

This exceptional flat is situated in a village steeped in history, perched on a cliff top with its characteristic tuff stone buildings. Surrounded by charming countryside and boasting excellent amenities, the town offers a high quality of life. At the same time, the centre of Rome is just about an hour away.

The flat captivates with its spacious, light-filled rooms, its authentic historical details and the skilful integration of modern architectural elements. Almost the entire living space is on one level; only the charming tower room is on a separate level. Beautiful views open up from almost every room – either over the rooftops of the historic town or out into the surrounding countryside.
During the extensive renovation, the historic elements of the palazzo were deliberately preserved and carefully restored. Original ceiling paintings, traditional terracotta floors, beamed ceilings, original doors and windows, as well as two fireplaces, lend the rooms their distinctive character. These are complemented by modern bathrooms and a gallery with a white wooden structure, creating a charming architectural contrast.

The property has also been comprehensively refurbished from a technical perspective: the roof has been completely rebuilt, all electrical installations and water pipes have been replaced, and a heating system has been installed.

A particular highlight is the spacious, partially covered terrace. It extends the living space out into the open air and offers a wealth of opportunities to enjoy the Italian way of life – whether over breakfast with a view of the village rooftops, a relaxing afternoon, or an evening taking in the varied landscape and the surrounding villages.

Layout
The flat is situated on the second floor, counting up from the main entrance in the historical centre of the village. The easily navigable staircase provides convenient access.
You enter the flat directly into the spacious eat-in kitchen with a fireplace, which forms an inviting focal point of the living area. From here, a staircase leads up to the charming tower room, which is designed as a bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom. The eat-in kitchen also leads into a spacious living room with a gallery, which can be used as an additional sleeping area. From here, there is one of the two direct access points to the terrace. A bathroom, accessible directly from the living area, completes this area.
Another room is the separate living room with a fireplace, historic ceiling paintings and direct access to the terrace. From this room, one enters two interconnected rooms, both featuring intricately decorated ceilings. This area is ideal as a further private sleeping area and has its own en-suite bathroom.
In total, there are three bathrooms: two en-suite bathrooms, each directly attached to their respective bedrooms, and a further bathroom accessible directly from the living area. This layout offers comfort and privacy for both residents and guests.

Additional Rooms and Special Features
On the hillside side of the building, a staircase leads to several cellar rooms, a courtyard shared with another owner, and a private, also renovated, garage.
Another special feature is the grotto, some 17 metres deep, which was hewn into the tuff stone in ancient times. It is ideal as a wine cellar and lends the property an additional historical dimension.
The goods lift is particularly practical, as it allows shopping and other items to be transported directly from the garage or the courtyard onto the terrace and to the flat.
