NICCHIA

Apartment in the historic village of Casentino a few kilometers from Poppi. An oasis of peace and culture to experience Tuscany

100 m2 - ground floor and first floor

In the green Casentino valley, in a crescendo of hills that become mountains, lies the Borgo di Quota. Located at the top of a rock spur at about 680 m above sea level, the village was born from a medieval castle, built by the Guidi Counts, like many other villages in this area. Quota is characterized by the stone with which it is built: the paved streets, the arches and the houses, arranged on levels and with different perspectives to follow the slope of the mountain, create a fascinating environment that preserves the rhythms of ancient times.

The village of Poppi, with shops, banks and a pharmacy, is about 10 km away. In the village, which comes alive in summer, there is a grocery shop for everyday needs, while in the nearby villages, a few kilometers, excellent restaurants welcome you with their local specialties.

At the base of the stone road that leads to the town church is this apartment, a cool refuge during the summer months. The stone of the walls and floors, wood and terracotta are the materials that distinguish the property, which reflects the typical features of the area.

You enter an entrance where the walls have been partially left with exposed stones, creating a warm environment with an ancient flavour. A modern kitchen overlooks the central square. From the entrance a wooden staircase leads to the upper floor where there is a passage room, a double bedroom and a bathroom with shower.

At the front of the house there is a small private courtyard

Independent heating
