Rif: RFA45 - Etroubles: on the border between Italy and Switzerland, 16 km from Aosta, at 1300 m above sea level, rustic 18th century farmhouse, finely renovated, on 4 floors.
The conservative restoration preserved unaltered its typically alpine features. The external walls are strictly made of stone, while the original distribution has been kept inside, with stone and larch floors, vaulted windows and stone fireplaces.
The renovation is suggestive: on the upper floors the warm tones of the white-colored boiserie blend with the ancient beams of the roof; on the ground floor the exposed stone walls find continuity with the splendid vault of the kitchen.
The main entrance is through a pier to the 3rd floor. In front of the entrance 2 double bedrooms, both with bathroom with shower, balcony and mezzanine with 2nd double bed; on the left the master bedroom, with private bathroom, balcony, mezzanine and walk-in closet. The presence of wood covering the walls, floors and furnishings gives a warm and pleasant effect.
On the 2nd floor 2 bedrooms, study and bathroom with shower. These rooms feature stone walls, hand-painted doors, which we also find in other rooms, and solid wood parquet. On each floor a small wood stove integrates gas heating.
The living area of the 1st floor, consists of cozy room, heated by a beautiful white majolica stove, living room with fireplace and small panoramic balcony leading to the garden, beautiful study with luserna floor, little bathroom.
At the ground floor a charming kitchen with dining room, with beautiful vaulted stone ceiling, ancient "potager" and laundry. From the kitchen the access to a large and well-kept fenced garden, the small vegetable garden below and a deposit of 30 sqm.
The charming renovation of 2006 is perfect for those seeking a peaceful life in a small town where time seems to have stood still. The short distance from services and towns makes the property suitable as permanent residence or B&B. Energy class in definition.
