This fourteenth–century property sits upon a small hill in the hamlet of Matraia, giving you a gorgeous view of the surrounding landscape. Miles upon miles of greenery awaits you as you step outside to take a dip in the private pool, followed by brunch at the outdoor dining table. One of our favourite parts of this home is the blend of fourteenth–century architecture and modern design. The dark wooden beams are a wonderful peek into the past meaning history buffs will adore this place. Explore the house with your friends and family to spot all of the antique gems found throughout the house, especially in the communal areas. The kitchen is spacious, so the whole family can get involved with the cooking and prepping of a hearty meal. As you're located in a remote area, you even have a view of a nearby vineyard and you're only a short drive away from a fantastic selection of wineries and restaurants to tuck into some delicious classic Italian cuisine.
