A short corridor leads to a spacious living room, with lots of light and wonderful views to the valley, on this same level there is also a bedroom with bunk beds sleeping four and a walk in wardrobe. A set of steps lead from the living room up to the top floor, where, to the left, there is a mezzanine floor overlooking the living room and a kitchenette; to the right, a master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom with shower. A couple more steps lead up to the beautiful roof terrace, from where to enjoy al fresco dining and the stunning views of the Spoleto valley. Back down, half way between the two apartments is a technical room, which houses the boiler, shared by both units. There is also an air conditioning unit and in-floor heating serving both apartments. The hamlet includes six properties and the owners are both Italian and International. The restoration of all houses has been completed by local architects with a passion for the distinctive idioms of rural stone buildings; they have over 30 years of experience in restoration work, during which they have cultivated a profound interest in sustainable architecture, specialising in the combination of traditional and salvaged materials, with more modern materials, with a deep respect of the landscape, cultural traditions and the environment.
