This is just to let those of you who don't already know that we have seen the market, and the results of the "American Market Meltdown" and we have responded!

One other bit of news - most of the furnishings (with the exception of the Chinese antiques in Shanghai) have been sold, and some of the Chinese items are sold - if you're interested in antique Chinese furniture (certified, imported by us, all pieces typically 100-200 years old), please contact us at +39 075 875 7015.

Overview of your new B & B

5500 FT2, 1500 FT2 MORE POTENTIAL, 1+ ACRE, LARGE POOL

This is your beautiful 500 m2 (almost 5500 ft2) bed and breakfast inn in the central Italian countryside near Perugia and Assisi. The B&B guest area contains two large apartments, one suite, and two double rooms. You may build an additional 140 m2 (over 1500 ft2) on the property, enough for six more double rooms with bath or two large apartments. The 1/2 hectare (more than 1 acre) of land is completely fenced. The large pool is 14 x 7 meters (46 x 23 feet). For more information, please visit http://TenutaCollicello.com/. or email BB4SaleInIT@gmail.com.

Details of the Bed & Breakfast for Sale

3 FLOORS, 3 APARTMENTS, 3 SUITES ALL WITH PRIVATE BATH

The structure contains 500 m2 (about 5500 ft2) on three floors. The ground floor is about 60% of the total, with 135 m2 (about 1500 ft2) on the first floor and 75 m2 (over 800 ft2) on the second floor.

Starting at the top: the second floor ("Trasimeno") has a penthouse apartment (about 75 m2 -over 800 ft2) with one bedroom, a large lounge area with a wood-burning stove, a dining area, an all-electric kitchenette, and a private entrance. It also has a fabulous view of the area around the B&B (about 270 degree panarama).

CENTRAL LPG HEAT, WELLS, INTERNET, SATELLITE TV

Common throughout the B&B inn are cotto tile floors, massive concrete and stone walls (this helps keep the temperature down in the summer, and allows the house to warm quickly in the winter), massive wood-beamed ceilings that hold up the surface above (either a tiled floor or a ceramic-tiled roof, 9'5" or higher). There is central hot-water heat throughout, controlled by area, and of course mains electricity, telephone (or VoIP ultra-low cost telephony), internet connections (we have ADSL via microwave), and television (2 satellite dishes planned on the roof).

2 BOILERS, FUTURE SOLAR PANELS

The heating system for the complete bed and breakfast consists of two LPG-fired boilers outside the house plus connections for future solar collectors. The LPG is stored in a 3000 liter underground tank.

Water comes from our own well, but it is also possible to bring in city water. A second existing well can be used for watering the garden, also feeding to two 10'000 liter (over 5000 US gallons total) underground rainwater cisterns. Sanitary water is disposed through an underground septic system sized for the present house plus the future 140 m2 building.

Additional expansion possibilites for the B&B Inn

FUTURE 1500 FT2 BUILDING POSSIBLE

Umbrian law prohibits building new off-plan buildings where there was nothing before. The definition allows the volume (cubic meters) of pre-existing buildings to be used in the construction of new structures. In addition to the main house, there were two pre-existing structures included on the land. The annexes were originally used for storing equipment and housing farm animals. One collapsed in 2005. The volume for new structure(s) is equivalent to about 140 m2 surface. Photos are available to prove that the one building indeed existed (see below); the second annex now is used for storage, a dog kennel, and a workshop.

The Land

1+ ACRE FENCED, ELECTRIC GATES, EXCELLENT VIEWS

The land is diamond-shaped, with the long axis pointing roughly north-south. It consists of about 0,54 hectares, completely fenced. There are two gates, both of which can be fitted with electric openers. The land falls away from east to west, and the trend continues outside the property, giving you a splendid view of the Caina River valley, our neighbour the Borgo Monticelli, and the hills that surroud Lago Trasimeno, 13 km away to the northwest. There are terraces on the south and west sides of the house that present frequent opportunities to enjoy the fantastic sunsets year-round.

The Pool

46 FT X 23 FT (MAX POSSIBLE) POOL

The swimming pool (14m x 7m x 1,50m or 46' x 23' x 5') is located at the north end of the property. The unusual dimensions of the pool are constrained by the new (2007) local requirements that a pool at a B&B may not exceed 100 m2 surface, and if it is more than 1,50 m deep, a full-time life guard is required. The pool has all the pumps and filters necessary, but for obvious reasons no diving board. On the drawing above (a plan from the previous owners in 2000), the pool is located where a tennis court was originally planned.
