Possessing been virtually burnt to the ground several years ago, this 300-year-old farmhouse (situated close to the town of Treia in the Le Marche region of Italy) has been completely reformed and rebuilt. The substantial, 4-year renovation project entitled Casa Olivi was undertaken by the Swiss architects Markus Wespi and Jérôme de Meuron and, as the constructing is protected by the Italian Cultural and History Administration, the outdoors has been meticulously preserved even though the inside has been remodeled and proffers a minimalist and airy interior.
Positioned on a sloping hill, this sophisticated Italian vacation residence enjoys a panoramic position and has 360 degree views more than the surrounding countryside. The home has been completed to an exceptionally high normal and there are numerous cutting-edge finishing touches: such as the Phillipe Starck bathrooms, the super contemporary kitchen and the impressive rectangular infinity pool (reminiscent of the water troughs that can be located in the nearby countryside) that sits raised above ground level.
Spacious, luminous and serene, Casa Olivi spreads over 3 floors. The living space is on the ground floor and 4 of the 5 bedrooms (all with ensuite bathrooms) are situated on the two upper floors. Having been totally reformed, the former stable is now an independent 1-bedroom guest property. In the south section of the property, there’s a massive terrace with a pergola and dining table for 12, as effectively as an outdoors kitchen with grill and teppanyaki.
