This week, we’re back with my real estate agent Federico, and we’re touring this move-in ready house in Moncigoli, the village immediately below my home, La Fortezza. It has a large terraced garden, a pool, annex with sauna and accommodation (for friends or you can rent it out on Airbnb), and views to die for! This location overlooking the Apuan Alps is really special and the house is a great purchase.
Currently, the house and its annex is being rented out for vacations, and you can find out more about the business (and browse some more photographs) here: http://heavenlyviewtuscany.com

Today Federico has brought me to the Village right before La Foresta it’s called Moni you’re in a Borgo you’re close to the main highway but you’re sort of offset from the you know your neighbors and this is a house that is for sale it has a swimming pool a so two
Bedrooms okay so he now changed his mind and now they’re or three So oh yes cypresses he’s he’s pointing those out that’s good you know fedo was a horticulturalist in his um right when he graduated from college University and a degree in horiculture now yes see see see see see see okay yes yes wow this view is incredible wow oh and there’s the pool
Oh this is so Cute okay this is cool so this is very typical of this area where everything’s sort of stacked up on um different Terraces to just before we can buy pieces Okay no Okay so 390 but this I’ll judge for myself but I think this is pretty moving Ready okay this is um wow that view is amazing quad I have to take it in for a second hang on hang on with me this is incredible view I mean to have your coffee in the morning it’s quite lovely let’s start with the good stuff Great Floor Great Wall very Charming the
Kitchen but it works well as a true salesman would say everything there’s a dishwasher which is very exciting what down it because the kitchen is small you know it’s a very small investment you can you could make this very cool I think it’s very weird that they take this table and
They shove it against a fireplace I always think these are such strange decisions like why wouldn’t you put the table over here and put two chairs here like you don’t have to have the table in Ju and it’s such a big table and do they
Move it out maybe they move it out in the middle of the room but I always find it strange that the there’s a sofa and a t it’s I like what are we thinking here floor plan wise but it’s a nice big room and it has a really nice fireplace which
Will keep it nice and warm and cozy and the kitchen is not very big and actually the tiles behind the kitchen are nice so I think you could get the same configuration as this and then leave this and and the camera is actually not bad either okay it’s nice I mean they
Painted this weird yellow jeez but it’s not true no Bianca is Better exactly everybody has different tastes you are correct please don’t be green now see this is a nice creen color yeah this is great you know it kind of reminds me of like sort of an Alpine house it just has that Alpine feel which I like for a vacation house I think this
Is quite cute great size room I sign off on this I would paint it and maybe do a little kitchen that’s it Basta the rest is great very nice I mean nice you know nice size bedrooms I love that everything looks at the mountains good funu it’s good funu this house they just
Built the house basically to look at the view which makes perfect sense to me very cute very very little Charming little house really a little higher price than we normally look at but it is very much quality it’s a very wellone house I mean all the beams and it’s
Quite nice for somebody that wants this incredible view in a cute village with a pool and a sauna yes please a swimming pool yeah and yeah pool swimming pool pool swimming po pool Americans just say pool pool it’s just a pool pool not a swimming pool no one says that pool get
With it okay oh my gosh this bathroom’s fabulous okay this is great oh it’s got the tile that I like this is great excellent lovely oh my God I look crazy okay this is so cute fantastic love it a wash machine in here I love everything about this bathroom this is a very
Very see see see p it’s very it’s tight it’s tight this house yeah I think Michael Michael you would like this house right yes Michael you would like it Michael’s like no but I I think I like it this great room and at the highway like getting out of the PO
Your well we’re in Italy Michael get real that’s not a highway that’s a beautiful view you’re crazy Michael this really cute little vacation house I love it here’s some sense there is the table and there is where you make the food and bring it to the the table versus down

Can tell that they did it’s it’s a little Jewel box I think okay let’s see the sauna let’s go do we have to take our clothes off okay okay okay oh he’s taking his clothes off I’ve been really oh my God I would just buy this house for this sauna Frank would want this SAA sa Vasa oh my God I love this I have to take Michael will you take some pictures I want to do this in my house where should we do this in
The house no I think we need it out building I really want a sauna I think we should get a sauna you can get like those readymade saunas right I mean to me I would buy this house for the sauna one it’s like like wrap it up this is so
Cool I’m really I’m loving this Italiano the no they’re English and they want a Sona well that’s pretty weird sorry guys thought they’d say Danish or something our crew is British that’s why I said that and a little toilet I this is brilliant this is like a cabana with a
Sauna I wonder if we could turn this on and then Frankie and I could just come here get the keys from and sit there you think that they would care just sit in the hot tub bring a bottle of wine just have to walk down like there’s a private
Road that from our house it takes 10 minutes to walk here don’t you think that would be cool we could also just drive have the keys sit in the hot tub have some wine sit in the sauna do you think they’d let us do that never to I’m like obsessed with
This okay so if you have friends which we don’t you can have them come up here oh this is so cute I love this this is great you guys and how cute is this little bed set up how cute is this this is a great Airbnb situation here isn’t it as as is
Yeah I love it okay this is fantastic I love this Frankie Frankie [Laughter] eow he’s going to give me the keys we’re going to drive down tonight with some bottle of wine I love this this is Great so Frank and I will be sitting in the sauna sitting in the hot tub having a glass of wine we just have to drive down the street so all kidding aside thanks for making it this far I hope you did cuz it’s worth it cuz this is a great

Thx. Fun.
I think the place neeeds a little more customized decor, and it's overpriced about 15% so around 325k Euros would be more like it. Annette I think you could buy it to use as another guest accommodation, as well as using the sauna whenever the mood strikes! Ciao
Thanks for another video. I once read that Italians "live" in their kitchen. Maybe that is why they have the sofa in the kitchen? I mean if you hang out there a lot then the hard wooden table chairs are not comfortable. In the Netherlands we don't have sofas in the kitchen though. I remember the 100k house (which needed 150k repairs) which seems better value than this house. But nice house and this one has a pool and sauna (with room which you can rent out) which adds about 50k to the price I think!
Great video, I grew up there and my grandpa and i used to walk from Debico’ to Moncigoli to get paper, ice cream and various stuff…
I love a good Sauna, do it Annette go at night they will never know. Haha cheers Kirk
Take my thumbs up for the music entering the sauna!
Great views! But I must admit, I squealed in delight when I heard Federico pronounce Sauna the proper way!
That was a great property and I agree that the price is probably a little high but there's a lot to like about it. I built a sauna in my house in France and we used it all the time, almost every day in winter! It was awesome! They're such a great idea especially when paired with the hot tub outside…yes please! Alla prossima Annette…Marisa 🥰🤗
Now 370k euros!!! nice place!
Great property, just wonder about the noise from the road below ??
I think its great. pitch the kitchen table. pool or swimming pool? minimum of 20 meters to be a swimming pool. the road by the pool not so great. everything else awsome.
I guess you mean 39000 Euro! it isn't worth more than this
I absolutely love love your reactions to these properties Annette. This one was a win, I agree with you on everything and it is priced high but that sauna man NOICE is right.
