The property is located within the city of Vicenza. It is a 5 minute drive or a 10 to 15 minute bicycle ride (on bicycle paths) into the center. The property takes up one side of what was once the square "cortile" of a convent. The convent had its origins in the 12th century, but was eventually gifted by Pope Eugenio IV to a monastic group until it was confiscated by the Venetian Republic in the 18th century to help pay the republic's mounting debt. It is attached on one side to the small "Maddalene" church and on the other side to other homes remodeled from the convent square. On the other hand the property's rear garden overlooks the beauty and calm of the Berici Hills and ,in the distance, the snow capped Alps.
Behind the property and leading to the next town is a path running along a small stream and bordering corn fields The stream ends with ponds that have natural artesian well springs.

The property is divided on three floors with the second floor being on ground level from the front, piazza side and the first floor being on ground level to the garden at the rear of the house.

The attic has two rooms and a small bathroom used now for guests.

The long room has "a velo" ceilings which are domed "fan" ceilings. All other ceilings are wooden beam ceilings, many with the original beams. Many of the floors throught the house have the original "cotto" tiles.

From the main entrance to the lower level, there is a "summer kitchen" conveniently located for barbecuing in the back garden during the summer.

On the opposite side of the stairs is a separate barrel vaulted room currently used as a store room/laundry.
