Farmhouse on two levels, at the head of a 5-hectare farm This is a farmhouse on two levels for a total of 500 square metres, at the head of a 5-hectare farm and equipped with all comforts as well as important historical traces and curiosities. Antique furniture, modern but handcrafted furniture, handmade tapestries, furnishings and curtains, and the scent of history to tell. All immersed in green and natural landscapes.

In fact, belonging to the ancient Nicasi family, which appeared in Morra in the 15th century, the farm and the house were called 'speranza' (hope) because of ancient legends linked to the papal troops and Federico Barbarossa. Legends aside, the house has undergone numerous transformations over the years, one of which dates back to the 19th century as documented by an engraving on an internal door (1837).

- ITALIAN: The farmhouse is on two levels for a total of about 500 square metres. The lower floor, formerly the stables for the animals, has been restored and furnished creating comfortable and characteristic rooms. The peculiarity of these rooms is their modern use while maintaining the historical trace: one can still touch the old mangers and agricultural objects used in the past. Today, there is a kitchenette and dining room with a fireplace, a bathroom, two sitting rooms, and a living/dining room with a characteristic piece of furniture that is the result of the craftsmanship of local artisans. The upper floor, on the other hand, is accessed via a loggia. Here you will find: the living area consisting of a fully equipped kitchen, a living room with fireplace, stereo and satellite TV; the sleeping area consisting of 3 bedrooms, each with a predominant colour (yellow, green, white). The yellow and green rooms are two doubles, the second of which has a private bathroom with shower; the white room is a twin. Adjacent to the yellow room is a second bathroom, with a bathtub. There is of course the availability of extra beds for children/babies. Free use of Wi-Fi is provided.
