Term since 1813

Termine is a rustic farmhouse dating back to 1813! Masterfully restored, respecting shapes, volumes and materials, it preserves the authenticity of a distant past. The structure has an impressive functional and rational simplicity, a testament to the rural civilization of the past. The sun guarantees energy independence. Fresh spring water flows down the mountain. 20,000 square meters of woods and meadows are available. For those seeking environmental and landscape quality, to regenerate body and soul. The space The building is divided into three blocks, two of which are on two floors and connected to each other. There is space for: a renovated kitchen with breakfast table and large dining area; living room with fireplace, two sofa areas (one of which can be converted into a double bed) and play area; large loft with two double beds; atrium wardrobes and bathroom. Stone partition walls, wooden floors and stairs are appreciated when moving from one room to another. In the third block, there is a charming double bedroom with a fireplace and under the cellar, just as it was designed and built 210 years ago. The room and cellar are externally connected by a stone staircase covered by a suggestive vault. There is also ample space in the old cowshed to leave mountain bikes and/or other things safe and sheltered from the weather. Outside there is running water, necessary for grilling and a dining table. On top of the large lawn south of the building, in a suggestive setting, a second table with benches. The building, well restored inside, is ready to accommodate those looking for a stay of marked environmental and landscape quality, those who want vacations that are good for the body and soul and those who appreciate nights without the light pollution of inhabited centers. The roof and its insulation, floors and bathrooms have been redone. The centuries-old doors have been restored. The old fireplace has been replaced with a wood-burning fireplace that is better from an ecological point of view and brings hot air into the living areas. Energy efficiency is guaranteed by solar panels that make the building self-sufficient. A renovated gas system guarantees the supply of constantly hot water and the proper functioning of a five-burner stove and an oven that matches the prestige of the property. The water supply is fed with fresh spring water from the overlying Tornago Mountains, thanks to 300 m of underground piping. The Termine farmhouse, as it has been restored, still retains the authenticity of a bygone era, even if nothing has been overlooked to improve its habitability. The recent work inside the farmhouse was carried out with skill, based on the solid roots of knowledge handed down from generation to generation, and with skills and expertise equal to those of the hands that laid stones and cut beams and planks 200 years ago. The essence of Termine is time itself: days, months and years of hard work to build and preserve the building in an exemplary way. Guest access Independent access to the house and its spaces. Four owned parking spaces available. Self check-in is available: key box with code available.
