In the heart of the historic center of Pretoro, one of the most picturesque villages in Abruzzo, this exceptional property is now for sale: a former olive mill built in natural stone, carefully and fully restored with great attention to architectural detail. Spanning two levels, the property combines a spacious private residence with a fully licensed and operational restaurant – ideal for those seeking to live and work in a unique and atmospheric setting.
The upper floor, located at the level of the main piazza and easily accessible by car, houses the private apartment. This includes a generous living area with an open fireplace, a bedroom, a bathroom, a study, and a large, fully equipped kitchen. From the kitchen, there is direct access to a small private courtyard, which serves the restaurant area on the lower floor.
The ground floor, once the production area of the olive mill, has been transformed into an atmospheric dining space. During the restoration, the original vaulted stone ceilings were carefully preserved and highlighted. The restaurant features a spacious dining room with bar area, guest restrooms, and a separate entrance from a charming side alley. A well-integrated internal staircase connects the two levels, allowing for a fluid relationship between living and working areas.
The entire building has been professionally renovated and complies with all current construction and commercial regulations.
