It is located in the village of Erbusco in Franciacorta, in a very quiet residential neighborhood because the street is not a thoroughfare, but only provides access to the numerous villas present. The entrance is self-contained. It is accessed from a gate and a small garden and past the armored door you climb the stairs (always independent) to reach the first and last floor where the entire apartment (which is on a single floor) is located, all surrounded by balconies and a terrace that allow, thanks to the favorable location, to admire the vineyards, the hills and the sunset of the Franciacorta. At the top of the stairs, you'll find another security door. Once you go through it, you'll enter the large living room, which has a French door (that gives you access to the north-facing balcony with a beautiful view of the hills and vineyards) and a large window. In the living room, you will find a round table that can comfortably seat 4 or 6 people, depending on whether you keep it as you find it or extend it. Also in the living room, you will find a comfortable sofa, a piece of furniture, and a television. Also in the living area, you will find the large kitchen equipped with a table and 4 chairs, a large refrigerator with a freezer, an induction cooktop, and a microwave oven. From the French door in the kitchen, you can access the large terrace where you can enjoy a splendid view during breakfasts, lunches, dinners, or moments of pure relaxation. From the terrace, the view is both eastward and westward, and from here you can admire the vineyards, Bergamo in the distance, and splendid sunsets. From the living room, through a door, you can access the sleeping area and the bathroom. There are three rooms. A bedroom with a double bed, two bedside tables, a chest of drawers and a large wardrobe. Directly from the bed and also by accessing the west-facing balcony through the French door of the double bedroom, you can enjoy vineyards, hills, mountains, and splendid sunsets. Opposite the double bedroom is another bedroom of the same size with two 90-cm-wide beds and a bedside table. From this room you have a view similar to that of the double room. Here, too, you will find a French window that gives you access to another balcony that faces west, but it also turns north, so the view is very wide across all the vineyards and hills of Franciacorta. The third bedroom has a bed with an 80-cm mattress and a large wardrobe that takes up the entire space, with hangers and drawers to meet the needs of all guests. The bathroom has a shower and a bathtub (the latter is turned off for safety reasons), a sink, a large mirror, a cabinet, a toilet and a bidet. From the bathroom window, given the panoramic location of the house, you can admire beautiful landscapes and sunsets.
