Property Description
SANT'ANDREA PELAGO is a mountain village that rises along the historic via Vandelli at an altitude of 925 meters.Sant'Andrea is only a short kilometer from its town of belonging and can be reached along a comfortable asphalted road.
It's August and today is the day of the photo shoot.
As I told you Sant'Andrea is a tiny little fraction that seems to come out of a story that grandparents always tell their grandchildren: a street, a church, an oratory, an ancient tower, a fountain, a bar, a grocery store and a few houses scattered here and there...
I arrive.I pass the tower and the oratory and stop in the well-restored old building.Bruno and his friend Glauco are on the porch waiting for me with a cold beer produced in a nearby brewery and some snacks.
We talk a little about this and that then Bruno starts talking to me about the "barn" that Glauco intends to sell...
I chose to call it the barn because it was its original destination, then Glauco has completely renovated it and transformed it into a restaurant with a pizzeria that is now inactive.
In the barn and the underlying former stable (today a pizzeria) you can still see the testimonies of the time: from the stone columns that support part of the attic to the wooden trusses.
Bruno tells me and is keen to emphasize that these buildings can be used as they are or transformed into homes and more.A great thing I say!
So we move and go to see the place.
I walk along the main road of the hamlet for a few meters and take the dirt access road.After not even 100 meters I arrive at the building.
There is a large parking lot, a grove, a centuries-old oak, a playground for children and mountain fields all around.
You know a mountain camp In addition to the particular scent it emanates, it is extremely soft and airy...you immediately want to lie down in the sun!
The barn is right in the middle of the field very close but detached from Sant'Andrea: the latter makes a fine show of itself down there in the panorama...
Today the barn looks like this: there is the pizzeria / pub on the ground floor with benches divided by many stone columns that recall its origin (stable).There is a wood-burning oven for the pizzeria, a toilet and kitchens complete with professional steel furniture and pantry.
From the ground floor a staircase takes me to the first floor, the real old barn.Here I discover a large hall with double volume, very bright and with a spectacular exposed wooden roof with 3 Palladio-style trusses.Further on there are the services, a warehouse, a small apartment and a large porch.
But that's enough, now I stop talking and start taking pictures...

The very beautiful things of this place are many, there are those that can be seen: the enchanting place, the coolness on summer evenings, the 5 hectares of land all around, the convenience of being able to use it as a place without having to do any work or to be able to transform it into a home to live in, the fact that it is left partially furnished, the autonomous LPG heating and air conditioning, the terracotta floor, the exposed roof and the above-average finishes.
Then there are the things that are not seen and that can only be understood if you live here: I am thinking of summer evenings, the constant cry of cicadas, Sant'Andrea il Cimone and the Moon.
The air here is fresher and purer, the hustle and bustle of August are just a distant memory...
I see two fireflies tracing "golden threads" in the sky and I feel I am at home...
