Located in the historic centre of the mediaeval hamlet of Orciatico with grocery store and bar, we offer this 2 bedroom 3 bathroom property divided into 2 apartments with spacious roof terrace and separate wellness centre, just 7km from Lajatico with all amenities, and 45 minutes from Pisa airport or the coast. The property is in the oldest part of the village, in a romantic corner and has been totally renovated 5 years ago by maintaining its original features and with high quality materials. It is accessible from a private courtyard. On the ground floor there is a wellness area, bathroom, cellar and laundry area. The first floor, accessible through an external staircase, consists of two apartments: the first one comprises a living-room/dining area, a good size bedroom and bathroom with shower. With separate entrance, it is possible to access the second apartment which is composed of a wide and charming bathroom, a good size bedroom and spiral staircase which leads to the living-room/kitchen with original fireplace and a lovely terrace where it is possible to enjoy outdoor meals. The roof of the house was completely isolated. Air conditioning has been installed in the bedrooms, and all utilities are connected with internet wifi. The property boasts amazing hand-made terracotta floors and beamed ceilings. The house is currently run as holidays home by the current owners and it’s a perfect solution as it allows you to rent one part and at the same time live in the other part or to keep renting both units as separate apartments or as a whole to larger families. The hamlet of Orciatico does have a grocery store and bar, whilst just 10 minutes away Lajatico boasts all amenities as well as the Teatro del Silenzio where Andrea Bocelli hosts a concert each year in his town of birth. An excellent investment.

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.
