Where tradition meets modern momfort: a restored country home

In the heart of the beautiful Emilian countryside, in Rubbiano di Solignano, this charming farmhouse of over 350 square metres represents a perfect synthesis of tradition, elegance and functionality. Surrounded by over 25,000 square metres of land, the property offers privacy and a natural environment of rare beauty. The house was completely renovated in the 1990s by the renowned urban architect Pier Carlo Bontempi, who, through careful philological restoration, was able to restore the property to its most authentic beauty, respecting its history and local traditions. Each room has been designed to recreate the lifestyle of the past, using and enhancing the typical materials of the area, but without sacrificing modern comforts, maintaining a constant balance between elegance and tradition. The property is spread over three levels, plus a cellar, and is characterised by large, bright rooms. On the ground floor, the ancient "porta morta" (a large covered entrance hall that served as a connection between the stables and the living areas of the house) has become the entrance/living room, which connect the large living room created in the former stable with the staircase leading to the bedrooms on the first floor. The living room, with its lowered vaulted ceilings clad in traditional herringbone brick, features two columns modelled on those of traditional local houses and an imposing fireplace that creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. There is also a bedroom/study with a fireplace, a kitchen and a bathroom. On the first floor there are three spacious bedrooms and a bathroom. On the second floor there are two further large rooms, ideal for guests or as a private area, and a further bathroom. Another charming feature of this property is the barchessa, a typical rural building of the area. History and comfort blend together in this fascinating farmhouse, a perfect example of a sophisticated reinterpretation of old Emilian farmhouses, where every detail, from the eighteenth-century furniture to the architectural elements, has been chosen to tell the story of local tradition. The result is a refined, sober environment where the charm of the past is perfectly combined with comfort and functionality.
