This is a view from the roof top terrace of the entrance to the mother in law apartment looking through the clothes line
This is a street view of the main entrance to the house, the dark door on the right is the main garage door, which is automatic, and the gold doors are the stairs going up to the main terrace to the main entrance to the house
This is panning to the right as you look at the house from the street, what you see is the main garage door, then bars that look into the mother in law apartment where there is a largish bedroom and another room/kitchen with an attatched bathroom. The odd thing is that it is not directly attached to the house, but the landlord said that he would cut a door in from the bedroom to the garage and you could walk up from there. It does look like there is an intercom, I just don't know if it is functional.
this is the far left view of the house from the street, this entrance can be used to go up to a locked gate from the outside. Looking up, you can see the main terrace area outside of the front entrance and looking up to the roof terrace you can see the corner of the sun room on the roof.
Denise, this is the nexus of the place, the hallway that connects living room to bedrooms and to the kitchen. Notice the arched doorways that you like and this is an extra on the ceiling of this little area. The column in the background is out in the main living room area

this is the far corner of the property, with the picture being taken from the pizza stove and BBQ area, looking back at the house. You can see the stairs leading up to the roof, the 16 x 20 sun room up on the roof and an idea of the way the yard looks. The path that is going straight out in front of Celeste drops down into the covered outside terrace (nice and easily big enough to set up a table and chairs)that is right out of the back kitchen door, in the corner of which is a step down wine cellar which holds somewhere around a thousand bottles of wine (just in case we decide to make that our two year storage!)

This is the sun room, it has shades and windows that open all of the way around. They are currently getting ready to refinsh the roof tile, so the repaired spot will not show when they are done. The view from up here is spectacular. Not quite the view of the other house, but clearly molta bellisma.

This is looking from the roof down to the main level terrace right outside the front door. It is an example of the kind of garden/yard that is all around the house. Surprisingly enough, there is not a lemon/orange or fruit tree on the place. The landlord did tell me that he would be happy to plant an orange a limon and a peach tree, but about died laughing when I asked him.

This corner of the roof terrace is the best view. You can see the coast of Sorrento, the Island of Capri and much closer the Castle of Bacl....something,

The downside is that you are in the city and this is what you see when you look at the back of the house, so your neighbors get to watch your party. The corrugation is the covered area outside the backdoor of the kitchen. I regret to say that somehow we did not get a single picture of the kitchen. It is big enough to put our table in, with enough space for the one cupboard that they give us. The cabinets are old but adequate and the entire kitchen is a different style of hand painted tiles.

this is the storage area of the main bathroom, It looks nice, but if you look close you can see that it is a converted shower stall, notice the hand painted tiles in all of the rooms, each room has a different pattern

This is the second main floor bathroom, it is quite narrow and you could sit on the toilet, use the sink all as you shower.......hmmmmm?

this is the main terrace overlooking the street, and while you can see a bit of the view, it didn't catch the fron of the house which is too bad, it looks nice with a bunch of planters and very large sliding doors going out on the terrace. Notice the rails for the sun awning which you can extend to shade the terrace area in front of the front room all of the way out to the edge. The railing is nice finished wood as opposed to metal railings that you mostle see, as up on the roof.

Master bedroom, somewhere in the neighborhood of 14 x 14 feet with ac. There is an ac in the front room and two of the bedroom which should be plenty adequate

This is off in the far corner of the yard and there is a wood burning pizza oven right over my shoulder, in front of me is a wood fired BBQ and behind me is a utility sink. To walk here from the kitchen is up about six steps and probably 15 yards

This would be one of the three bedrooms on the main floor with a beautiful beaurea (brass inlaid) this is the second largest room and is about 12 x 14 or so

This is the smallest room, about 11 x 12 with a 5 x 3 foot nook

This is the front room, on the left is the piano nook and front door, the piano nook is 10 x 14

This is the same piano nook, looking right down the wall

this is the main room looking from the hallway over towards Celeste is the front door and piano nook

downstairs apt kitchen and entrance to bathroom

opposite wall from the kitchen in the mother in law apt

little hallway in front

upstairs narrow bathroom

Downstairs, mother in law apt bedroom with built in shelves. Room is probably about 10 x 14
Here are pictures of the house that for me has moved to the top of the list. Now of course, Denise has to look and decide.

Pete,
This looks like a fun house! I am definately jealous of the view of the Med! My goodness; it is breathtaking! I am sure that Peter is excited to see some pictures from Italy. He was so looking forward to seeing some!
Hope you are well!
Love,
Becky
p.s. I miss your kids sooo much! Life is too quite without them!
Oh, wow! I didn't check the blogspot until after I wrote you that email. This looks really interesting!! I wish I was able to see it while I was there!!! I still wasn't able to see how many rooms it has. It looks like just 4 rooms? I'll show the kids these pictures in the morning! What did Celeste think?
