Country property dating from the 18th century in Vettola, a hamlet of Valmozzola, at an elevation of approximately 700 m in the Apennines near Parma. The property consists of two independent residences arranged around a shared courtyard. The complex also includes a wood-fired oven, a former chestnut drying room now used as a hobby room, a cellar and a woodshed. The restoration was carried out with a focus on preserving the original structure and materials. Exposed stone walls, wooden beams, terracotta and cherry wood floors, as well as historic details such as niches, stone wash basins and original timber structures, have been retained.
The main house is arranged over two levels. The ground floor includes a dining room with fireplace, a large living room, a kitchen and a guest bathroom. Upstairs are two bedrooms, a bathroom and a study that can also be used as a dressing room or workspace.
The former stable has been converted into an independent guest house, with a living area on the ground floor and a bedroom with bathroom upstairs. The shared courtyard opens onto the surrounding landscape and is set between woods and hills.
