“Gli Archi” – Piedicolle

This unique property is a chance to own your own little piece of history, “Al Grezzo” – which means it has been completely restored, leaving the final touches, such as décor, and in some instances, final layout to the purchaser. Originally part of a large dwelling, and one part an old stable, there is a plethora of original features, such as old  beams brick arches, wall niches, vaulted ceilings, the original well, and, a very unusual feature is the “water chute”, a small “letter boxed” shaped hole through one  of the walls which allowed the farmer to pour the water into the stable for the animals. Enter the property via a paved walkway, just under an arch you will find the main entrance door, steps lead down into the main living area (Sala), this is a magnificent room, oozing character, there is even the original tunnel like “cantina”, wall niches lining the wall, perhaps to be used as a sauna, storage area, office, or, of course your wine collection! This unique property is a chance to own your own little piece of history, “Al Grezzo” – which means it has been completely restored, leaving the final touches, such as décor, and in some instances, final layout to the purchaser.
