Restored country house surrounded by landscaped gardens with pool, for sale in Marciano, the hometown of Italian actor Roberto Benigni, Arezzo.

The main part of the building faces the entrance gate, is on two floors, and has natural stone facades, and a typical loggia on the first floor with two arches and a marvelous view over the surroundings.

The overall restoration has been carried out in several steps since 2006, offering today three self-contained units decorated in traditional Tuscan country-style, all different in characteristics and type, with either two or three bedrooms, featuring charming living areas with fireplaces, stone walls, wooden beam ceilings, floors tiled in travertine, marble or handmade terracotta.
