🍷 THE BASEMENT: Historic Cellars (Ceiling Height: 2.70 m / 8'10")Stepping downstairs reveals two large, interconnected cellar rooms.

The walls are lined with premium pink-veined marble for effortless maintenance and a classic Italian look. This level is completed by a private back-office/workshop room and a half bath (W.C.). The shop also benefits from a second service entrance via a shared corridor.
🛋️ THE FIRST FLOOR: Living Area (Ceiling Height: 2.70 m / 8'10")An impressive arched wooden door opens to the entirely independent residential quarters. The first floor welcomes you into a bright and airy open-plan living room (finished with light ceramic tiles laid diagonally), smartly divided into a spacious lounge/TV area and a dining space. Large windows and a classic balcony flood the room with natural light. A separate, fully-equipped eat-in kitchen, a convenient storage room, and a windowed bathroom complete this floor.
🛏️ THE SECOND FLOOR: Sleeping Quarters (Ceiling Height: 2.70 m / 8'10")Connected by a private internal staircase, the top floor is dedicated entirely to rest.
