Home description
Il Ruscello is a large stones farmhouse for up to 10+4 people with swimming-pool 6x12 m (open from the 20th of May to the 20th of September), surrounded by 55 hectares of property. Tastefully decorated, the old farmhouse has been beautifully restored using original materials of the time: field stones, hand-made bricks, timber beamed ceilings, terra-cotta floors. As was customary, the ground floor was used to house animals while farmers used to sleep upstairs. Well-equipped kitchen - cosy and comfortable atmosphere.
