From the dining room, down a bright hall that accesses a portico and a powder room, there is a modern gourmet kitchen with travertine stone counters and sink, gas cooktop, oven, refrigerator with freezer, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine. The kitchen island generously provides seating for five. A set of French doors opens onto a large portico for al fresco dining. All the windows and doors have southern and eastern exposures that fill the kitchen with light throughout the day.

A special feature of the house is a 10 meter (30 foot) long portico with stunning views of Monte Rufeno and the valley of the Paglia River. The custom stone table which seats twelve is a great place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. A wood-burning fireplace allows for outdoor cooking. There is also a comfortable seating area that is the perfect place for reading a book or sipping a glass of wine.
