Lower floor
The lower floor consists of a small fully-equipped kitchen featuring an original stone oven.
As recently as two-three generations ago, rural families used to bake their bread weekly, based on how busy housewives were, generally on Friday or Saturdays for it to stay fresh enough until Sunday.
Back in the old days, the quality of bread was much better than today: bread would stay good for a week and still be edible for two weeks. For bread to last longer, housewives would knead flour and water without adding salt, a precious commodity that was rarely available to worse-off households.
So, Tuscan “saltless” bread owes much of its distinctive character to its humble origins.
The floor is rounded off by a living room, one master bedroom and one bathroom with bath-tub and shower.
