Country house, 2 bedrooms, 2 wc, 130m2, Carpasio.
Old rural tower-house in Ligurian hamlet Amidst terrace fields and small hanging vineyards in the characteristic hamlet of Carpasio lies an original tower house where time has stopped, preserving all the authenticity of an old country house. The property rises on three floors. On the ground floor, entering from an alley covered by stone vaulted ceilings, the entrance leads to a basement. On the first floor there is a living room with fireplace, which opens onto a large terrace with a view overlooking the roofs of the small hamlet and surrounding mountains, a kitchenette and a bathroom. On the attic floor, a conversion would be possible so as to create an extra bedroom with bathroom and benefit from a lovely balcony with panoramic views. The house reflects the rural spirit of the hamlet which is still intact and would be well suited for a simple traditional refurbishment. The house is ideal for being personalized and finished, like a blank canvas offering itself to the painter, to experience the beauty of nature and the Ligurian countryside, just 20 minutes from the sea. Carpasio is a characteristic village with winding roads which follow the steep cliffs of the Carpasina Valley, amidst farm houses which have preserved their original features. Carpasio can be reached by going through Montalto Ligure, along a lovely road with an open view of the vast, breath-taking landscape. At 715 meters above sea level half way up the mountain, surrounded by land which has been transformed into cultivated terraces with vegetable gardens, vineyards and olive trees, the hamlet appears after the last road turnings like a group of houses suspended in mid-air, full of charm and it begs to be discovered. Walking within the labyrinth of alleys you find yourself wrapped in an atmosphere from another time: the plastered houses blend with those in natural stone, giving a sense of kindness to the lanes that cover the village from top to bottom, among porticos, arches, entrance halls, fountains and small courtyards decorated with geraniums. A magnificent parish church dedicated to Sant’Antonino, martyr of the second half of the 16th century, with its baroque oratory next-door. Just a few miles away we have Sanremo, Ospedaletti, Bordighiera, Ventimiglia and Cotè d’Azur with Nice international airport. The surroundings are characterised by several chapels called of “good journeyâ€, with scenes of the Stations of the Cross (Via Crucis) or the lives of Saints or with ex voto, all painted by local artisans. Many excursions are available on foot or by mountain bike along the Carpasina stream which has crystal clear waters, pools and waterfalls in the middle of the woods or olive grove terraces. An ideal place for those who long to relax in peace and quiet.
