A Semi-Detached House for Renovation in a Village

A bargain property in the quaint Upper Langhe village of San Benedetto Belbo, a few steps from the former tobacco shop that has been transformed recently into a museum dedicated to the Langhe’s foremost novelist Beppe Fenoglio.

The property is a traditional village row house with two floors and a basement.

The ground floor features a sitting room with a direct entrance from outside, further a kitchen with a small back terrace looking onto the green Vezzea valley. On the first floor we find a walk-through bedroom leading to a second bedroom which overlooks the street. The small water closet is located in the mezzanine.

An internal staircase leads to the basement which opens onto a small courtyard (an embankment) where chickens were once kept.

This is the basis for an eminently affordable small vacation home in the Upper Langhe, set in a tranquil locality which is the setting of many of the novels and short stories of the region’s celebrated writer.
