Exploring the barn
"Il Fienile di Bisarno", part of a bigger property named Bisarno, is a barn from 1800s, in the past used to collect hay and to dry grapes for Vinsanto and now totally renovated into our special lodge. This was and is a very important barn: from outside you may notice the ancient mandolati and the big wooden door, still maintained as they were in the past. Let's have a look inside it.
The first floor
After an easy car park and some stairs, you will enter from the main entrance and you will find yourself in the first floor, structured as an open-space divided in two areas: the dining area, with a fully equipped kitchen, a wooden table and the relax area, with a tender sofa bed.
A service bathroom and a laundry complete the floor.
If you are passionate of architecture and old things, you surely would appreciate and notice some aspects: the flooring is an astonishing mosaic of old stones, placed at "opus incertum", in continuity with the courtyard. The wood of the doors, of the table and of the kitchen is a reuse of the previous old beams of the house. The big wooden arched door is the symbol of the property and was the door that was used to be crossed by carriages with cows.
The iron stairs
This unique and iconic design piece, made by local iron artist, connects the first and the second floor.
The second floor
In the second floor, you will find the main bedroom, with a queen bed in soft Casentino mattress, an additional single bed, and a wonderful en-suite bathroom divided into a luxurious cabin-shower and a very functional toilet (also with bidet!).
Here you can still observe architectural jewels such as the original "capriata" (truss) and the "mandolati" (windows in cotto brickworks). Not only: the rectangular wooden door is the original "porta del fieno", "door of the hay", used to pick up hay and also grapes to dry into a dark room but very ventilated, thanks to the mandolati.
The pergola
Entering into the house, you surely would have noticed a charming iron wrought pergola, placed in what once was the manure leap and now your exclusive secret garden, for spectacular dining "al fresco", or a glass or two of wine, or just for reading session, under the refreshing shadow of a walnut and of a mulberry. Yes, in season you can also taste mulberries and the walnuts.
The garden
The barn is part of a bigger property. You have exclusive usage of the iron wrought pergola buty you can also use the larger pergola in front of your arrival. Not only: you are more than welcome to walk into the park, to collect fruits and vegetables, and to use them for your daily preparations!
