Sleeping five guests in 3 bedrooms, the apartment looks out over the countryside and has an independent access from the front terrazzo of the farmhouse. A large table with umbrella in the garden provides a perfect setting for al fresco meals and the swimming pool is located at a lower level and enjoys beautiful views over the surrounding vinyards.
