{"product_id":"a-tuscan-adventure-castello-di-potentino","title":"A Tuscan Adventure: Castello di Potentino","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe fascinating story behind the revival of an ancient Italian castle and its enduring way of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Charlotte Horton and her family of British bohemians discovered an abandoned Tuscan castle, little did they know that they would transform it into a vibrant, modern locale. Nestled in the rugged terrain of Mount Amiata, Castello di Potentino was a dilapidated mess: roofs had collapsed and there was no plumbing or electricity. Following the arduous process of purchasing it from 24 different owners, they set to work renovating the 11th-century structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this enthralling account of ravamping the castello into a contemporary ode to Italian tradition, photographs by the late British fashion photographer Michael Woolley showcase the property, while Charlotte’s text dives into the renovation and life at Potentino. From a dramatic vaulted entrance hall to a starry ceiling mural, the interiors are bound to delight. Readers also learn about technical details, such as recycling materials, painting, and bureaucratic paperwork. A chapter dedicated to the land—complete with a vineyard and olive groves—displays Charlotte’s philosophy of self-sufficiency. This book is a must-have for those interested in Italian architecture and the Tuscan lifestyle, or anyone with the dream of restoring a castle in Tuscany.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valerie's Boutique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67745505116317,"sku":"055694","price":85.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/martindanielinteriors.com\/products\/a-tuscan-adventure-castello-di-potentino","provider":"Martin Daniel Interiors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
