These houses or apartments commonly belong to a "Borgo", what one may call, in English, a hamlet, and are mostly quite old, often medieval villages with a few buildings most often built of natural, exposed stones. A lot of those old hamlets have recently been renovated and transformed to exclusive, luxury residential communities. In general all the apartment or houses have a separate and private garden and their own terrace. The swimming pool and tennis-courts are shared properties. Property management and rental service can be provided in most cases.
