On the ground floor are two porches, one at the front and one at the back. The ground floor, aside from the bathroom and the under-stair storage, features an open-plan living and dining area with a fully fitted kitchen which opens onto the charming rear garden - a true delight.

The entire ground floor is equipped with an air conditioning unit, located in the living room.
An internal staircase leads from the ground floor to the first floor, which, like the rest of the house, is paved with genuine Tuscan terracotta from Impruneta, in the province of Florence. Upon reaching the first floor there is a well-lit landing, thanks to a skylight, two bedrooms, each with its own private terrace, and a bathroom. Both bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning, and each has its own terrace.

Detached from the house but still within the property complex, and located near the parking area, you'll find a 'cantina' (private lock-up storage room) that is sold with this apartment. It's a convenient space for storing personal items, bicycles, barbecue equipment, deck chairs, garden umbrellas, and anything else that might be bulky and not frequently used.
The pool is large, featuring a Roman staircase on one side to facilitate easy access. This chlorine pool is lined with blue PVC, it is not heated but it is illuminated. The relaxation area around the pool is entirely paved with travertine marble and surrounded by low walls made of tuff blocks, a natural stone from the region. The entire area is fenced and equipped with a gate. Additionally, there is a shower. As this is a communal area, there are specific rules regarding access, timings, and expected conduct.
Surrounding the pool, there is a meticulously maintained garden, complete with shrubs and trees. It's a true haven of peace and tranquility.
Access to the property is straightforward, and a 4&4 is not required. The roads leading to Orciatico, including the one that leads directly to the communal parking gate, are all paved. The parking is communal, but each owner has an assigned spot under a canopy. It is fenced, has an access gate, and is lit with dusk-to-dawn lights. From the parking area, one can access the cellar zone. Not all apartments have a private cellar, but this one does.
There is also a communal cellar which is only used for storing condominium items and tools, not private belongings.
Orciatico is perched on a hill approximately 390 metres above sea level and boasts a picturesque view. It's the quintessential Tuscan vista that one expects to find and it never disappoints.
Regarding the state of maintenance, one can only compliment this unique property. It is in perfect condition, with all new furniture, meticulously renovated with care and a keen eye for decor. The interiors are airy, light, and ideal both as a holiday home and for year-round living. It has been furnished with great taste and an eye for modern comforts.

Buying Real Estate in Italy
1. Making the Offer to Purchase (Offerta)
Once you have found the property you wish to purchase you will start the process by making a formal offer to the vendor, the estate agent will act on your behalf and put forward the offer, a deposit will be made available, generally around (10,000 - 20,000 EUR). Once the vendor has accepted the offer it will be formalised in writing to the vendor in both English and Italian. If this is accepted the deposit (Caparra Confirmatoria) will be paid to the vendor. This will form a legally binding contract. Neither party may withdraw at this point, the sale can be forced by either party or a claim for damages can be made. If the purchaser withdraws their deposit will be lost, if the vendor withdraws the purchaser can claim twice the deposit in compensation.
2. Signing the Preliminary Contract (Compromesso or Contratto preliminare)
The next step will take place between 1 and 3 months after the offer has been accepted, this is a formal agreement between the vendor and purchaser to sell and buy the property, this agreement is the Preliminary Contract and will contain the conditions and terms of the sale. It is important at this stage that you have a full understanding of all the details contained in the contract. We would strongly recommend that you appoint a Notary who is fluent in English. This document will include the purchase price, a detailed description of the property including completion date and will cover any obligations placed upon the buyer and the vendor. All information relating to the property including any planning permissions for the property and the cadastral details (a public record, survey, or map of the value, extent, and ownership of land as a basis of taxation). Once the Preliminary Contract (Contratto preliminare) has been signed a further deposit (Caparra Confirmatoria) will be paid, this will generally be 10% - 20% of the purchase price. There will also be an estate agents Commission Fee (Provvigione) which will need to be paid at this point.
3. Signing the Final Deed of Sale (Rogito or Atto Notarile)
The purchaser must have a bank account in order to make the purchase on completion. The signing of the final deed of sale which will authorise the transfer of the property must be overseen by a Notary (Notaio). The buyer will select and hire the Notary, but they are members of an independent body of public/professionals who will draft the purchase deed, they will oversee the passing of the title legally from the vendor to the purchaser. The Notary will also verify the legality of the documentation and registration with the Conservatoria dei Registri Immobiliari and the Local Land Register.
4. Formalities to be observed after Completion
Foreign buyers should obtain a certified copy of the Purchase Deed (Rogito), which the Notary will have lodged with the authorities. Generally this will be available to collect around 2 – 3 weeks after completion. The Notary will also give you a form to complete for the the local authority (Questura) who will have been given formal notice of the purchase. Your Notary will help you to complete this form. You will need to contact the utilities companies to set up new contracts (power, water, telephone, gas etc.). If the property is a flat, the condominium manager (Amministratore del condominio) should be informed of change of ownership of the property.
