Pontremoli, Lunigiana, Tuscany, Italy

In Montelungo Superiore, located about 850 meters above sea level, about 20 minutes from Pontremoli, we offer this apartment on the ground floor and basement of a two-storey stone building. The house is ready to live in, completely renovated, and without any work to do. The entrance is on the ground floor in the kitchenette, connected to the living room. The floor is completed by a single bedroom, a double bedroom and a bathroom. The hallway leads to the basement with a wooden staircase, where a lovely tavern has been built with a fireplace, as well as water and gas connections. From here you can access the exclusively-owned, fenced garden. The property also includes a loggia where a woodshed has been built. The basement and garden can also be reached by an external passageway. The house is equipped with an electric boiler for hot water and gas-powered air convectors to heat the rooms. It can be reached on foot by walking about less than 100 meters from the public parking lot. Montelungo is known as a summer holiday resort for its cool and breezy climate, it is also known as a spa, due to the presence of the Fonte della Virtù, a spring from which a healing water flows. In the past, the town was an important stop on the ancient Via Francigena with a hospitale (xenodochio) held by the monks of Bobbio. In particular, the village is the XXXII stage of Sigeric's itinerary (Archbishop of Canterbury in the tenth century) where the locality is called Sce Benedicte from the name of the parish church, dedicated to St. Benedict: a church that is located a few meters from this property. This house is an excellent compromise for those looking for a refuge where they can spend their holidays or weekends in a cool and quiet place, with the possibility of taking advantage of the garden to make a small vegetable garden or have a barbecue with friends. The possibility of storing the wood in the storage room makes the house independent and thanks to the door in the tavern the wood can be brought directly to the fireplace.
