This beautiful rustic countryside family home in Italy is
owned by a woman named Hanne who lives there with her two teenage sons and her
partner Rafaelle. Hanne was originally from Norway, and then moved around to
various places before making her way to Italy. She purchased a rundownhome in the
outskirts of Rome and had it rebuilt.
Hanne explains, “When we found this
place, it was basically just a roof and walls. No one else would buy it because
it was so run-down and in the middle of nowhere. I saw the potential
though – for me, the uglier the house, the bigger the challenge. It took a
year to do all the work and it was very hard. There were no trees here, and
thehouse didn’t even have water or electricity.” It is now the
home of her dreams and a place where she can have lots of house guests
because it has been built spaciously enough for entertaining. Via
