Casa Pallavicino is a semi-detached house divided into a reconstructed house at the top with an apartment to restore below.

The upper apartment has 2/3 bedrooms, modern bathroom, kitchen, fireplace and a large entrance. The lower apartment has one bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. The house has a private road to reach it; included in the price is a chestnut drying shed that could be converted into a guest suite or used as storage.

As you approach the house, it appears to be detached but in actual fact one can exit via the lower doorway to reach the village with great ease.

Although partly restored, many of the original features remain including an original wooden staircase and some of the beams. The fireplace in the main living room is most attractive.

If you are the investing type, the lower floor is already registered as an apartment and all the hard work has been done to make it into a dwelling.
