Town house apartment situated in a small hamlet on the outskirts of Pietranico. It has been renovated and was finished in 2009.
It is a ground floor apartment (approx 55sq.m) consisting of: a living kitchen with wood burning fire, a double bedroom and bathroom with shower and plumbed for a washing machine. There is outside space where you can enjoy the sunshine.
Outside, about 10 metres from the house there is a storage room-closet with bunk beds (no bathroom) which can be used according necessities, but it is not a proper bedroom.
Above the storage room is a terrace where you can enjoy the shade in the morning and the sun later in the day. Perfect for enjoying a glass of local wine while watching the sunset over the mountains.
50 metres from the apartment there is a garden. It has a small pool, only 230 x 170 cm and 1 metre deep. It is not big enough to take a swim but ideal to cool down from the summer heat.
The village of Pietrnico is about 200 metres from the apartment.
