Relax in this cosy and characteristic one-room apartment, located on the ground floor and accommodating up to 3 people, of a historic building that housed a convent until the mid-18th century: witness the small bell tower on the roof and the frescoed chapel adjacent to the house. The property was renovated in the 19th century into a manor house and divided into 3 spacious and comfortable flats, each one independent. We are in the small historic centre of Catignano, 4 km from Gambassi Terme, much appreciated for its spa centre located on the Via Francigena. The property offers a sunny and panoramic position over the vineyards to the horizon of the Apuan Alps. The swimming pool has an equipped solarium area for pleasant moments of relaxation. The owners, very kind and helpful people, will welcome you in their private wine cellar where you will have the pleasure of tasting their wines. It is ideal for a couple or a family with a child.
The flat has independent access. The entrance opens onto a large open-plan area with living room with sofa bed for two persons, romantic niche with French bed, with fireplace and satellite TV, dining table, well-equipped kitchenette with 4 gas rings, extractor hood, electric oven, refrigerator; bathroom with shower.
