FOR SALE - Italian former convent with HIDDEN SECRETS
This week, we're looking at a beautiful former convent, for sale just down the road from me. It has some incredible furniture inside, which I'm assured is included in the sale, but as is inevitably the case in Italy, things aren't always as they seem. Make sure you stay tuned until the end for the best bit - you won't believe what happened!

    Cool place with great potential in the out door spaces, i wonder what rughts the property still has over the water use, as 1 could use the river to create hydro. Uncover the old stone oaths would help. Some added sitting area outside. Probably a bit over priced all things considered, as not an ideal flowing habitable space.
