Outdoors, the property benefits from a charming rear garden, a dedicated area ideal for the addition of a swimming pool, and forecourt parking in front of the garage. The surrounding olive grove, with over 100 century-old trees, is complemented by fruit-bearing quince and fig trees, wild fennel, and aromatic bay laurel—evoking the authentic charm of Tuscan country life.
