Description of buildings
The farmhouse has been fully restored by the current owners and is split into two separate apartments, measuring 178 sq.m in total.
The ground floor apartment features a large kitchen with store cupboard, a living room area with wood-burning stove, two bedrooms and a bathroom. This apartment also benefits from a beautiful loggia measuring around 28 sq.m for dining or relaxing on warmer days.
The first floor apartment is accessed by a traditional outdoor staircase and comprises kitchen, large living room with terrace (around 12 sq.m), two bedrooms and a bathroom.

Between the farmhouse and the pool there is a small annex measuring around 15 sq.m, used as a storeroom for garden equipment and tools.

The measurements provided indicate the liveable surface area.
The liveable surface area is the same as the walkable surface area (which includes internal walls) plus 10% to take into account supporting walls.
The surface area occupied by any eventual staircases may only be calculated once.

State and finishing
The farmhouse, restored keeping all the traditional features typical of old houses in the area, is in excellent condition.

External areas
Easily accessible by car thanks to the paved and well-maintained access road, il Casale del Gelsomino benefits from complete privacy.
The garden is well-irrigated and has many ornamental plants, jasmine, rose and olive trees.
In the southernmost, most secluded part of the garden there is the pool with solarium area, next to a small vineyard.

For those interested, it would be possible to purchase another 5 hectares of the adjoining land.

Use and potential uses
The property is ideal for those dreaming of a traditional Italian home, in the countryside but also close to the sea, with the opportunity to generate a small income by renting out one of the apartments and living in the other.
