The entrance opens into a large, light-filled living room with access to the patio and garden. The kitchen—complete with fireplace—and a bedroom also have direct access to the garden, along with a bathroom on this level.
The first floor consists of three double bedrooms, a half bathroom, and a large terrace overlooking the valley.
Additional cantina rooms are located on the lower ground floor.
The outbuilding in the garden includes four rooms: one currently used as a cantina, and the remaining three as storage and workshop spaces.
The house is in fair condition but would benefit from some modernisation and the installation of central heating.

The Cinque Terre are five picturesque villages strung along the narrow coastline north of the Gulf of the Poets and La Spezia with pretty coves, beaches and are accessed on foot, boat or with the local train that shuttles between the villages. Anyone visiting the Cinque Terre should take a walk along the cliff paths which link one village to the next, stop in one of the bars or restaurants and try the anchovies marinated in olive oil and garlic, served with bread and delicate white wine made from the grapes that grow up the steep terraces above the villages. The Cinque Terre are a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The Gulf of the Poets is an enclave with a group of three islands at its tip, fishing villages with exceptional fish restaurants, as well as opportunities for sailing, canoeing, snorkelling or just relaxing on one of the beaches hidden in craggy bays around Fiascherino or Tellaro. The easiest way to get around the gulf is by boat which runs between Lerici, La Spezia and Portovenere or on to The Cinque Terre. The name Gulf of the Poets is from the literary connection as some of the world?s most famous poets including Shelley, Byron and D H Lawrence lived here at some time.
