Preserving Historical Integrity
During the renovation, great care was taken to preserve the historical character of the property.

This careful restoration has been featured in prestigious publications such as The New York Times, ArchDaily, Living, and Archilovers, showcasing how the farmhouse blends tradition with modern needs.

A Historic Setting
The property is annexed to the ancient Church of Santo Stefano in Cennano, built on a sacred Etruscan site and later developed into a Romanesque church in the 12th century. The church’s three apses form a stunning backdrop to the property, adding to the deep historical richness of the area, which includes ancient pagan temples and medieval pilgrimage routes.
