Apartment for sale
53013 Lucignano
The Castle Hide Away | Tucked within the stone walls of an ancient Chianti castle, this delightful two-level apartment has the charm of homes built on an intimate scale, where every room has its own warmth and nothing is superfluous. Once through its independent entrance, the hurry and noise of everyday life stay outside, on the other side of the stone. The living area welcomes you with the warmth of traditional Tuscan materials: timber beams and terracotta tiles overhead, terracotta underfoot, and the light that falls through the living room’s arched French window. Beyond a brick archway, the eat-in kitchen gathers around the fireplace – the heart of the home, made for winter dinners by the fire. A bathroom completes the floor. An internal staircase leads up to the upper floor, where the house becomes more intimate still: two bedrooms beneath exposed beams, the second bathroom and a storage room. Just outside the door begins the unhurried life of the borgo: paved lanes, well-kept lawns and a tree-shaded walkway overlooking the vines, perfect for a stroll as the sun sinks over the hills. A little further on, the shared infinity pool, with its colonnaded pergola, looks out across the valley and the woods – just the place to let summer afternoons drift by. The property also includes a private garage in the underground car park.
