La Regina

Newly Restored Farmhouse

sleeps: 6+2


La Regina is situated just outside village of Gualdo, less than 2km. The farmhouse had been uninhabited for nearly 40 years. A group of local artisan builders have restored it with a great care using the old stones; tiles and wooden beams retrieved within the property, and have turned it into a charming and comfortable holiday villa with modern touch. The position of the houses has amazing views to the town of Sarnano and the village of Gualdo, not forgetting a majestic view of Mt. Sibillini.
