Sestola, Modena (province)

SESTOLA Very close to the center of Sestola, I follow the paved road that departs a few tens of meters from the main road, immediately after the bell tower there is a large centuries-old chestnut trees that gives a bit of shade and fresh. It is summer and today it is unusually hot.
The centuries-old chestnut trees is right above the garden of the house I'm telling you about today, the house of Alvaro.
Giorgio is a very well-known figure in the village because in addition to being a former professional cycle cyclist, he is also and above all the master farmhouse of the nearby social cheese factory.
You need to know that this part of my mountain is included in the area used for the production of the Reggio Emilia Parmesan cheese called "mountain" ...
Have you ever tasted it? You need because it deserves.
It is summer and as I told you there is sunshine, the shadow of the ancient chestnut trees marks the garden of the house.
Stop my car in the nearest parking lot to the house: while I go down from the car a small hand couple in the hand passes next to my panda and embraced go and sit in the panoramic bench there, lower ...
Giorgio is in the garage waiting for me, the greeting and I start my work: the house is already in order just as I had asked it to do, so just a little tidy up the furnishings and I start photographing. I am dedicated to the interiors while the Massi takes care of the exterior.
(...) Finished the photographic service Giorgi invites us to the table for a beer. And so between a chat, a piece of Parmesan cheese and a glass of sweet lambrusco is night .... This is how it goes uphill!
Now, I'll describe the house: the house is all on one floor, without stairs. The only ramp is the one that leads downstairs into the service area.
The house is independent and free on all four sides: two sides of the house give onto the large turquoise garden full of walkways, decorated with flowers and surrounded by chestnut trees.
On the other side there is vehicle access to the double garage and finally on the fourth there is access to the house.
The house is built with the basement and the basement in brick. The first floor which is the home area is all made of wood, the floors are made of fine wood and the wooden roof is also exposed.
Two bathrooms, three bedrooms, a balcony porch that runs almost throughout the perimeter of the house, a ollar stone stove that heats everything.
Below the service area there is a large basement room which also has a oil stone wood stove, a bathroom, two storerooms and a second garage.
What can I say, the house is beautiful and in a wonderful place.
Now you will ask me why Alvaro who built a house so beautiful, large and well finished he wants to sell it? The explanation that may seem strange is that he wants to live at height ... close to the Cimone!
The house is anti-seismic, with high energy efficiency and with provision for solar thermal panels.
There is also a source of water with concession and well
