Layout of the house:
Podere Dadino is a carefully restored, two-story, stone and brick farmhouse, typical of the area. The spacious and comfortable main house totals 3500 square feet. You enter through a covered portico (with outdoor table for eight to ten). Inside, three large brick arches divide the eat-in kitchen, the dining room with a table for eight to twelve, and the sunny living room with large open fireplace. On the other side of the kitchen are a bathroom with shower, a study with desk and daybed, a TV room with access to the garden and pool area, and a laundry room with plenty of storage space.
A stone staircase leads upstairs to the high-ceilinged, airy, sitting room; four bedrooms (two double bedrooms with queen-size beds, one with king bed, and one with a single bed); two baths (one with shower, and one very large bathroom with shower and separate jacuzzi tub).
The attached guest house (430 square feet) has two double bedrooms, a small bath with shower, and a kitchen-sitting room.
The grounds:
Although easily accessible and not remote (it is 4.5 kilometers from the A1 motorway exit), no other houses are visible from the house or grounds. A 400-meter, private, gravel road leads to the house. The house sits on 1.75 acres (7000 square meters) of private garden, offering several areas for dining al fresco, entertaining, or relaxing with a book and a glass of wine.
The grounds have been professionally landscaped and include a productive 50 square meter vegetable and herb garden. A wisteria-covered loggia (with outdoor pizza / bread oven, additional dining table and chairs) is located on the side of the house near the pool, as is a barbeque for outdoor cooking. The 6 by 12 meter (approximately 18 feet by 36 feet) swimming pool, with outdoor shower, gets full sun throughout the day.
