We are pleased to offer for sale this 6 bedroom partially renovated farmhouse with former barn and sitting in just 2km from Peccioli village, 40 minutes from the coast, 35 minutes from Pisa airport and an hour from Florence. The farmhouse provides the main building of 250m2 over two floors which was partially renovated in 2015. On the ground floor it comprises a large open-plan area with living-room and kitchen which boasts amazing cross-vaulted ceilings and huge glazed doors facing the garden. Still on the ground floor, there is also a good-sized bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a cloakroom/utility room and a further bathroom. Internal stairs lead to the first floor which has been left “al grezzo” or unfinished. Some of the ceiling rafters were replaced but the roof needs to be checked and insulated. On the first floor there is ample space to create a 3-bedroom apartment and there are connections to create up to 4 bathrooms. The systems are connected and functioning on the ground floor with water mains, electricity, LPG heating and a document which allows the owners to benefit from a water spring situated close to the estate for irrigation of the land. The renovation involved underpinning to reinforce the structure. The estate also includes a 90m2 two storey former barn which consists of a garage/storage area on the ground floor and a 2-bedroom apartment upstairs which is accessible via an external staircase. The barn needs work to be upgraded such as new windows, roof checked and insulated, and heating installed, as currently there is only a pellet stove. An area of 6000m2 (1.48 acres) of garden with ample room to build a pool if desired, and a 40m2 outbuilding, which is partially collapsed, complete the property. This estate is ideal to be converted into a holiday home, or a delightful villa with 2 guesthouses.

Casa Travella was founded in 1987 when Linda & Pietro Travella saw an opportunity to offer Italian property for sale. At this time there were very few companies that offered any property for sale in Italy. Now years later read some of their story.

The company is fronted by Linda Travella and Casa Travella started selling property on Lake Como, where Pietro was born and Linda has worked and lived. The company were able to offer advice on numerous properties and ongoing help with all aspects of the buying process. If a client wants to restore a property, then Casa Travella can source tradesmen and professionals in the area and help with every aspect of the transaction.

When the BBC were looking for someone to speak on BBC Breakfast News about European property Linda was chosen to appear live on the programme. Other TV and radio programmes followed including Radio 5 Live, and ‘I want that House’ with Mark Simpkins, where Linda appeared in 6 episodes, the last one being a live programme from Florida, where an Italian apartment was given away as a prize. Linda appeared for RTE, Irish TV and for Channel 4‘s ‘A Place in the Sun’, where she accompanied Amanda Lamb along the shores of Lake Como by boat, to show her some of the stunning villas, including the one owned by George Clooney.

The Casa Travella team are always pleased to help when clients want to buy or sell a property in Italy. The office is multilingual with English, Italian and Spanish being spoken.

Linda says: ‘I feel proud that we can offer property for sale in many areas of Italy and we are able to give clients independent and professional advice on areas and types of property to suit their budget and needs.’

The Casa Travella team look forward to helping you buy or sell your Italian home.
